Social Democrat leader Mircea Geoana expressed his concern about the social tensions.<br><br>Speaking in front of flag waving supporters outside his party's headquarters, he said "Romanians voted for an intelligent and capable state for a hard time ahead." He added that Romanian voters support his party's message of "change" as Romania starts down a long hard road. <br><br>However, Geoana made clear that he has no illusions that change can be introduced overnight as millions of Romanians, including pensioners, live in poverty.<br><br>Yet despite his party's gains, it remains unclear whether the 50-year-old Geoana will be able to become the next prime minister.<br><br>Under Romania's constitution President Basescu can name the next government leader, regardless of the election results.<br><br>No party won enough votes to govern alone, forcing the main players to seek coalition arrangements in Romania's difficult political landscape.<br><br>Smaller parties, including the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania, are also expected to play a key role in discussions over a future coalition.<br><br>But there is international concern that a long period of difficult political negotiations could undermine urgent reforms required by the European Union, such fighting corruption, and further destabilize the country of 22 million people. <br></p> </span><div id="list"><ol><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26746.html" target=_blank>Pakistan Offers to Help Investigate Mumbai Terror Attack</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26745.html" target=_blank>Mumbai Terrorists Aided by Security Lapses, Technology</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26744.html" target=_blank>Automakers Pledge Restructuring in New Bid for Loans</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26743.html" target=_blank>Somalia Refugees Stressing Kenya Aid Agencies</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26742.html" target=_blank>Ugandan Peacekeepers to Stay in Somalia</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26741.html" target=_blank>Nigerian Army Says Order Restored in Stricken City</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26740.html" target=_blank>UN Security Council Extends Anti-Piracy Measures off Somali Coast</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26739.html" target=_blank>Efforts Underway to Defuse Rising Indo-Pakistani Tension</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26738.html" target=_blank>Africa's Largest Coffee Producer Revamps Trading System</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26737.html" target=_blank>Obama-Clinton Relationship Will Bring New Dynamic to White House</A></LI></ol></div><div class="clearing"></div></div><div class="clearing"></div><div id="footer">© 2001-2008 Powered by <a href="http://www.51voa.com">51VOA.Com</a> <div id="topAds"><script language=javascript src="/topAds.js"></script></div> <div id="count"><script language=javascript src="/count.js"></script></div></div></body></html>⌨️ 快捷键说明
