Flep24/7's Romanian (???) Election Special with Dr. Vladimir Bortun
Sacre Bleu: The French Presidential Election Podcast.Show Notes
Marlon talks with Dr. Vladimir Bortun, a lecturer in politics at St. John’s College at the University of Oxford about the French connection to the recent Romanian Presidential election results. We talk about the far right’s accusations of French (and Moldovan) interference in the election, the historical links between the countries, and the politics of language and accents. We also get into what the election was actually about, the attitude of Romanian liberals to the West, and who votes for who and why in Romania.
All that and more on this episode of Flep24/7.
