The podcast episode, hosted by Ionuț Vulpescu, features sociologist Barbu Mateescu discussing the similarities between Călin Georgescu and Mircea Geoană, focusing on Georgescu's voter base. Mateescu explains that Georgescu's supporters view him as a means to achieve change rather than an end goal, with his performance stronger in smaller towns and rural areas. The discussion highlights that 2025 could be a year of resentment voting, with Mateescu predicting a rise in progressive left influence by 2029. The episode also explores evolving political communication, driven by emotional appeal and the decline of traditional parties. Additionally, it considers potential voter shifts if Georgescu is barred from running, suggesting his supporters might rally behind another candidate. The episode provides a comprehensive analysis of Romania's political landscape ahead of the presidential election.
