Almost president

[topum]

This is Igor Dodon, the guy who got most votes in yesterday's first round of the presidential election here in Moldova (I talked about it here).

In Moldova you still can get some one-to-one time with main presidential candidates to discuss your concerns like this woman did. His reaction to me taking this photo made it clear he wasn't getting papped much.

The Moldovans I was with told me that he reacted like he did because he could immediately see that I was a foreigner and he did not expect foreign photographers in that small village and found it surprising. He is not new to politics, he used to be a minister. Can you imagine Hillary talking to someone one-to-one in the street like this with all those other people in the background not giving a damn and just going about their lives, haha?
it is quite different from this: )
