VOICED: Presidential race too close to call in Romania

The video discusses the Romanian presidential election, focusing on the Social Democrat candidate Murchie Joanna and his campaign to increase public support. Romania faces a severe recession, with the economy expected to shrink by 8% in 2009. This economic crisis is central to the election, with candidates offering different solutions: Joanna proposes investment to boost the economy, while President Traian Basescu suggests spending cuts. Despite their efforts, neither candidate is likely to secure a majority in the first round of elections on November 22nd, and voter turnout may fall short of expectations.
