We continue our series of articles that quantitatively analyze the presence on Twitter of Romanian candidates for the European Parliament with that of the People’s Movement Party (PMP).
Mos of the party candidates have accounts on this social network, and from the table below we can see that Mr. Siegfried Muresan is the most watched, the most connected and most active candidate with almost 3000 posts so far. Mr. Theodor Baconschi follows him closely in terms of the number of tweets, but his account is not public, the first one I met for a politician.
