Description: Yes, that Ilie Nastase. I think he failed to become president. Not sure what happened to Vatasescu, un Premier Serios. Football shirt is Turkish, I think. Certainly not Steuea. McDonalds has already arrived. This was the election for Mayor of Bucharest ; on November 3 1996 a general election was held. The number of parties is unbelieveable! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_general_election,_1996 although there were really only two main parties with the SDU a third party getting 13pc of the vote. The Mayoral election was held on June 16 1996, lawyer Victor Ciorbea having only just joined the Christian Democratic National Peasant Party 3 months prior! In the General Election he became the Prime Minister, so that Viorel Lis succeeded him until 2000 Ciorbea's newest party is the National Liberal Party Anton Vatasescu, former Romanian Ambassador to France, was another unsuccessful candidate, along with Nastase [see comment below by Marius]
