New man, charge and parking – Iulia Popovici – Ziua – read here -
“A society that pays overprice for informal charges (on time, irritation and other people's disinterest) derived from the state body's imperfections can't take a new official accise, a poorly motivated one (how come you should pay a charge for what your car will do from now on ?). A society can only take it for spit in the face and the urge to public debate can only been perceived as alternative to kicking the wheels of your neighbor's car. The first car matriculation (and last pollution) fee is the supreme essence of the Romanian state's relations with Romanians. "We pretend not to fool you and you pretend you pay" is the line reaching the climax. In this point not even an argument such as "this is how it goes in the EU" isn't working any more. In the EU you don't bribe to get a place to pay for in order to park your car”.POLITICS
Romanian President awarded for saving Serbian fleet – Anca Hriban – Ziua – read here -“When a minister of transport, Train Basescu agreed that 7 civil aircrafts belonging to JAT Company should hover and land on Baneasa Airport, Bucharest. The crafts stayed there in March 29 - May 1999 or they would have risked being bombed during the military conflicts in the late 90s. Yesterday while in Belgrade, the President of Romania Traian Basescu got a painting from the JAT Company, as token of gratitude for having saved the Serbian civil fleet in 1999“.
Mr. Handcuff – D.I. – Ziua – read here -“Eugen Nicolicea, a deputy representing the PSD (Social - Democrat Party), is making arrangements so that the Criminal Code would settle norms allowing for the arrest of uneasy journalists and politicians. The man who managed to bring the fight against corruption at a standstill, also a plotter of the referendum story and of the cheat on the uninominal vote, is back again with an initiative typical of the ex Communist Secret Service in Romania”.
