Right-wing extremists fail miserably

The ultra-right and anti-Hungarian political camps have failed miserably in the elections, the left-liberal daily Népszabadság writes. "A carefree Romania whose citizens are more or less content with the current economic and political situation went to the ballot. Perhaps they have never before had so little cause for dissatisfaction. ... But what is more important from the Hungarian perspective: The radical parties failed miserably in the elections - along with their despicable anti-Hungarian sentiment. What was particularly striking about the election campaign was the lack of any trace of anti-Hungarian rhetoric. ... On the one hand this is positive for the Hungarian minority living in Romania. But on the other it also means that the problems of the Hungarian minority are not on the agenda of the political forces in Bucharest."
