Romanian presidential elections campaign kicks off on Facebook: Antonescu criticises Basescu
"I saw the President challenging the youn g Hungarian minority, in the context which the Hungarian minority voted in favour of the Constitution at the 2003 referendum. The fact that his is trying to stern the youth's reaction is only because of electoral reasons", Antonescu writes on his Facebook in a Monday post. He referred to Basescu's visit to Harghita county, a region highly populated with Hungarians, that there is no room for local autonomy. Basescu saw the mass booing him.
Crin Antonescu's campaign strategy has a "campaign for internauts" chapter. The liberals want to mobilise the young electorate through open blog dialog, short clips and information on projects. Crin Antonescu did mention a personal blog on www.crinantonescu.ro but there is no post yet.
