    You can use whatever words you want to describe it, but at the end of the day when we have the majority of the population voting for something you don’t want, you’re the minority. Trying to fight against the rights of the majority of the population is a dangerous battle only previously tried by authoritarian dictatorships and similar regimes.

    No one seriously tried to stop these people from becoming candidates, but now they have support of the public the ruling powers oppose them.

    Also worth mentioning, in Romania, political left and rights seem to be flipped. Far right wing candidates want more rights for gays, etc. So can get confusing depending on which media sources are used.
