They gain power. Both countries have their own divisions, the Soviet leaning authoritarian populist part is to gain a seat, entrench in and make it very hard to unseat, then attack the opposition from there. Victor Orban has done it in Hungary. Romania had an extremely weak, incompetent and corrupt president, the new contender is basically mimicking Trump and leveraging post-truth heavily. It seems like it works for him, people who voted for him aren't the smartest cookies and there's a lot of them. On the other hand, the not so smart cookies have some gripes that are quite valid. They also don't involve themselves in politics but seek a savior to fix all their problems.
