Today we had the second round of our presidential election and for the first time since its establishment in 2007, our ruling party GERB didn't win the election. In 9 years they won 3 Parliamentary, 3 European, 1 Presidential and 3 Local elections. It didn't help that they chose the most unpopular candidate this time. Our new president will be former Air-force General Rumen Radev, who ran with the backing of the socialist party, but i think a big portion of thepeople, voted for him, because of his individual persona.  

 

Nevertheless this is another point for the more nationalistic side of the tide. After Trump, now we, i think a socialist will also win in Moldova today, it pegs the question will these nationalistic wins continue with Norbert Hofer in Austria in a couple of weeks.

Two filo-russian and anti-european premier was elected yesterday in Moldova and Bulgaria :facepalm:Bad time are coming for the Union

 

Not quite. :d Firstly, it was a president election, and here the president doesn't have that much power. And the new president seems to be in the middle, he is as much pro-russian as pro-european. After all he was NATO general for many years, it seems highly unlikely he wants to desert them with ease :d

 

Secondly, our PM acted like a complete baby this whole campaign and didn't take it so seriously, which had a big effect on the election results. The majority of the nation is still very pro-european, they just didn't like the whole attitude our Prime Minister showed this year.

I would vote for never! :p

Like most people, to hopefully not let the entire world go insane :p 

 

To add in the insanity, we might see a victory for Geert Wilders (our local idiot) in the Dutch elections next year..it depends on how much of those "OMG MIGRANTS KILL EVERYONE" losers will actually vote on him in the end :p

And we'll have a german election where AfD will most likely get a bunch of seats.

At least Fremskridtspartiet in Norway seems to be losing votes, and if we end up with an election in Denmark (which doesn't seem too unlikely), our nationalist populists aren't looking too good either. Sadly it seems like an even worse populist party may get some seats.

In Portugal, I don't think we have to worry, at least for now.

 

Our nationalist party has very few votes, they did an anti-Islam-immigration parade in the streets of Lisbon a few days ago (as if we had many Muslims immigrants, we don't, our immigrants are mostly from our ex-colonies in Africa) and they managed to get a whole 70 guys (yes, seventy) for that parade. 

 

And they are generally mocked on social media and by our humourists. They managed to put this campaign sign in Lisbon's central square:

"Enough of immigration! Nationalism is the solution!
[airplane] Have a nice flight! [flight to their home land, intended for the immigrants]
Portugal to theportuguese!"

And our main humorists put their own "campaign sign" next to it:

0003879h

"More immigration!
The best way of pissing off foreigners is to make them live in Portugal!

[airplane] Welcome!
We will never gonna made it using only 
portugueses. Nationalism is just stupid."

:lol::roflmao:

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
