FLOODING <\/strong>Over 100 people
\nhave been evacuated in the past 24 hours, because of the floods that have hit 7
\ncounties in Romania, affecting more than 90 towns and villages. However, the situation is now stabilizing and there are no
\nlonger major threats for the population, according to the Romanian Interior Ministry.
\nTwo people have been killed by floods and traffic on several national roads has been seriously affected. Weather specialists have extended the code red warning for flooding
\naffecting the rivers in nine counties, especially in the east and centre.
\nAnother 15 counties are under code orange alert. The weather continues to be
\nunsettled in most regions.<\/p>\n

ELECTIONS<\/strong> Local elections
\nare held in Romania on Sunday. Over 250,000 candidates are running for
\nmayor and local councilor in 3,200 towns and communes and 41 county councils respectively.
\nComplementary election lists have been drawn up for citizens of other EU countries who have legally settled in Romania, for them to be able to have
\na say in the election of the mayors of the place they live in. As a first,
\npolling stations will have an IT system aimed at monitoring the turnout and
\nprevent any form of rigging. Mayors will be elected in just one round, and the
\nwinners will be those who will get the simple majority. The measure has been
\ncriticized by both civil society and the media, because, if the turnout is
\nlow, many of the future mayors will lack legitimacy.<\/p>\n
