The fall...

After 20 years of living in the chimera of freedom, Romania had to choose her president. While other East European countries have been celebrating 20 years after the fall of the iron curtain with parades, concerts and speeches about their bravery to turn their face towards the West, Romania crawls in sorrow. The elections torn country in two apparently equal sides. For 1 month everybody turned political. People arguing, commenting and broken friendships, confusion and lies. When everything seemed to be over, it's actually getting worse and just like this time 20 years ago, political fights and changes are happening before our eyes. While at that time we were awarded with jeans and other products from the West, now it will be decided under whose Government we will start paying for our huge IMF debt. All the other problems became invisible...sour sour faces.
