Romania election too close to call
Romania’s Prime Minister Adrian Nastase and Bucharest Mayor Traian Basescu both claimed victory in the presidential election after exit polls showed them in a dead heat.
The results from yesterday’s polls sent hundreds of Basescu supporters to University Square in downtown Bucharest, dancing and singing his name. Dozens of riot police ringed the demonstrators, who waved orange balloons and the orange flags of the centrist Justice and Truth Alliance.
