Romanian presidential candidates seek votes in neighboring Moldova
Romanian presidential candidates running ads on Moldovan news site to reach out to Romanian citizens living in the country
Romanian presidential candidate Mircea Geoana (put forth by the Social Democratic Party and the Conservative Party) is now running ads on Unimedia, a Moldovan news website that gets a lot of traffic.
Incumbent Traian Basescu will soon follow with ads of his own, Unimedia writes.
Moldova has a lot of residents holding Romanian citizenship (often along with Moldovan citizenship). The numbers are unclear, but they are at least in the tens of thousands.
Mr. Basescu and the Democratic Liberal Party (which is often labeled as pro-presidential) are very popular in Moldova. During the last elections for the European Parliament, the Democratic Liberal Party won a majority of the vote. Mr. Basescu's daughter Elena, who ran as an independent but later joined the Democratic Liberals, won about 25%. As a result, Mr. Basescu's party gained about 80 percent of the Moldovan vote. In Romania, the Democratic Liberals gained about 35 percent.
