The terrorist bomb – Sorin Rosca Stanescu – Ziua – read here -
“The scandal emerging because of the stenograms of talks between a prosecutor and a terrorist can turn into a Romanian Watergate. This is the main exam for our democracy. If so, Romania has got a chance to pass on to a new epoch. If not, a virtual main exam will turn into a mess and look like affairs such as "Cigarette 1", "Cigarette 2", "Cigarette 3" and so on. Why miss the chance to analyze the system thoroughly ? Why wouldn't Romanian society have the privilege to highlight what is truly rotten and extirpate the rumor ? The identity of the 'teacher' is one main key to the terrorist bomb. The 'teacher' is that person on top of the hierarchy that the two interlocutors mentioned a lot in their talks, kept secret until a couple of days ago”.POLITICS
President and PM met, but didn't agree on justice minister – Raluca Papadopol & Cristian Andrei – Ziua – read here -“The meeting between the President of Romania Traian Basescu and PM Calin Popescu-Tariceanu took place, but it was fruitless, for both officials were firm. After the meeting the PM told Liberal senator Norica Nicolai that the National Liberal Party would continue to support her to take over the Romanian Ministry of Justice“.
Gloomy predictions for 2008 – R.I.P. – Ziua – read here -“According to the yearly report for 2008 released yesterday by the SAR, this year will bring few things to enjoy. There is estimated that the ordinary political disputes prevailing in the last 12 months have degraded the quality of the ruling. The SAR opines that some of the future negative effects will consist in a danger such as the activation of the safeguard clause on Romanian Justice, if attacks concerning the National Anti-Corruption Department continue. On the other hand one expectation is that Romania's country rating by international financial evaluation agencies will go worse. Another expectation the SAR mentions is the significant increase of structural deficits”.
Ludovic Orban and Marian Vanghelie want to rule over Bucharest – Cristian Andrei – Ziua – read here -“Ludovic Orban, a vice president of the PNL (National Liberal Party), admitted yesterday that he was thinking about entering the competition on a future mayor to rule Bucharest, but he added the final decision was due after a domestic poll was completed. The Liberal told the Hotnews: "My experience and the way Bucharest looks like make me think I am the right candidate for a general mayor". He added his party colleagues were asking him to join the competition, adding that the final decision would probably be reached in March. As far as the latter party is concerned, Marian Vanghelie pointed that Social-Democrats wanted all the 6 mayors of Bucharest districts and the general mayor too to come from their party. He told Realitatea TV station: "I want to be a candidate. If they think I am the best, I will take care that the curb affair and the parking business are settled" ”.

The journalist added the shareowner had expectations "impossible to meet, given the Romanian press at present" and also given the fact that Gandul was "a quality newspaper" ”.

President Basescu executes Norica Nicolai publicly – Anca Hriban – Ziua – read here -“The President of Romania Traian Basescu came out yesterday to release information about the professional career of Liberal Norica Nicolai and ground his refusal to appoint her a minister of Justice. It happened after the PM Calin Popescu-Tariceanu had dismissed the President's invitation to dialogue about Norica Nicolai. The President put it straight yesterday: "I will never appoint her a minister of Justice !". He insinuated the PM had another means available: to have the MPs vote for or against her. If they vote for her, the President will have to appoint her a minister by decree. Traian Basescu complained that last Thursday he had kept on trying to get in touch with the PM, but he wouldn't be reached. "This is unacceptable in the rule of law, for it could have been a problem of national security !", the President commented“.

According to the senator, the Romanian President's initiative against her was "undignified for a man and abusive for a President" ”.
