		Romanian Communists were simply violently banned and there is no historic continuity between any of the current parties and them.
		Still, they only won an election after a highly scandalous period of a nasty nationalist rule, and could only form a government in a coalition with a hardcore liberal party and with a Prime-Ministerial candidate who was not a party member.
		I was checking how elections went in the different areas: Bachelet lost 70-30 in the place where she lives, Las Condes (which is not surprising since its a rich community).

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Romania's Democratic Light by Michael Radu
		Indeed, the official presidential candidate, outgoing Prime Minister Adrian Nastase, is a member of the communist youth elite of the late Ceausescu era and led one of the most corrupt regimes in Europe, based on the nouveau riche elites of former nomenklatura.
		In November’s parliamentary elections, Nastase’s ruling Social Democrats (PSD) made an alliance with an upstart personalistic party, the Humanists, in order to arrange a smooth transition from the PSD regime to a “new” and reformed PSD regime.
		Unlike Ukraine, where the recent presidential election is widely considered to have been fraudulent, Romania wants and has a good chance to join the EU, which will be impossible if its elections are openly fixed.
