We’ve got our country back”<\/strong><\/em>. The message emerged right after Victor Ponta has conceded defeat in front of the TV cameras.<\/p>\n

Iohannis statement to his countrymen:<\/strong>
\n“Dear Romanians, you have been heroes today. Your vote was phenomenal. An enormous turnout. I thank all of you for choosing the president of Romania. Respect to all those who cast ballots in the Diaspora.<\/p>\n

Now in the 12th hour, I ask the Government to make serious efforts to extend the voting schedule abroad. I call for our representatives to pay maximum attention inside the polling stations, in order to avoid fooling people with a erroneous vote counting. Regarding the organization of the vote in the Diaspora, the Government should take full responsibility.<\/p>\n

No matter whether 3 or 300,000 people have voted, if there is any single Romanian who failed to vote, that means a fundamental right has been violated.<\/p>\n

I am overwhelmed. I am gonna have emotions until Constitutional Court (CCR) issues the final decision to confirm the election results,”<\/em> said Mr. Iohannis.<\/p>\n
