The new class struggle – Dan Pavel – Ziua – read here -
“The hatred of oligarchs is the most powerful resentment in both the Romanian press and society. Some journalists and citizens are surprised that rich politicians (who are not that many) buy and sell lands, houses, villas, palaces, residential quarters, shares, companies, jewels, luxurious cars, yachts, planes and so on. It also surprises them that the rich take up politics or they spread their influence on press, local communities and parties. The resentment for capitalism isn't even dissimulated any more”.POLITICS
President arbitrates meeting between government and unions – Adrian Ilie – Ziua – read here -“The President of Romania Traian Basescu is to arbitrate today's talks between the Romanian government's representatives and the leaders of 6 large union confederations. The 2008 budget is the issue at stake because unionists are dissatisfied that their amendments weren't taken into account. It is anyway unclear how their objections can still be considered, since the head of state already promulgated the budget law in December 31, 2007“.
DIICOT is precarious institution – Razvan Savaliuc – Ziua – read here -“ZIUA provides you with one more analysis of the Prosecutor's Office in Romania where prosecutors reach the top of the hierarchy on criteria that turn them into potential puppets, also due to the Romanian general attorney Laura Codruta Kovesi”.
Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs starts badly – Luminita Pop – Ziua – read here -“The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has started its 2008 activity just like usually: without responding to incidents with Romanians as victims. Although in the very first days of 2008 the mass media reported on Chishinau authorities' decision to expel 4 priests and 1 nun of the Metropolitan Church of Basarabia from the Moldovan Republic because the 5 clergy lacked legal documents allowing for their residence in the Moldovan Republic, the Ministry headed by minister Adrian Cioroianu has responded in no way whatsoever to the abusive measure and intimidation against the Romanian citizens”.
