Summary/Abstract: This article presents two perspectives of European Parliament elections, one which renders commonplace to European problems reflected by the low voting participation that proceeds from parties’ mobilisation which was lower than for the national elections, or from the low level of citizens’ information, and the second perspective which reveals a Romanian “model”, represented by the vote structure, concluding that the European enthusiasm dropped in Romania.
