Local Politician's Unique Campaigning Strategy: Encouraging Voters at the Market

Local Politician Encourages Voters at Busy Market Cristian Popescu Piedone, president of Romania's National Consumer Protection Authority (ANPC), spent part of his day on May 18th, 2025, at a bustling outdoor market in an undisclosed Romanian location. His purpose: to personally encourage citizens to participate in upcoming elections. The video shows Piedone engaging in friendly interactions with market-goers, shaking hands, and exchanging brief words of encouragement. One woman, visibly pleased to meet him, stated, "Vă apreciez mult!" (I appreciate you very much!). Piedone's message was consistent throughout his interactions: a simple yet powerful call for civic engagement.
