Mayor wanted, dead or alive…
Villagers in the south-eastern Romanian village of Deveselu re-elected on Sunday their mayor who actually died some ten days ago. Former Deveselu mayor Ion Aliman ‘won’ the local elections as he received 64 percent of the vote. A video shared on social media showed dozens of villagers visiting the grave of Mr. Aliman, a former member of Romania’s left-wing Social Democratic Party (PSD). Ion Aliman won 1,057 of the 1,600 votes in Deveselu despite having died on September 17 at 57. Romania’s local elections on Sunday were seen as a ‘rehearsal’ of general elections scheduled on December 6.
