Absurd referendum – Roxana Iordache – Ziua – read here -
“… In fact, the initiator of this dismissed the uninominal vote a year ago. Now he is pleading for it because it is something popular. The PD (Democrat Party) will anyway get support from the clientele groups. Hypocrisy is hidden behind this presidential initiative: the unproportional uninominal vote, promoted to serve the interests of the crowds, uses proportion actually in the favor of the very rich ones, either candidates or sponsors of candidates. City cleaning, public lights, marble, concrete, parks destroyed for the sake of buildings, parking areas, the cheap and good energy of the smart guys in the category of presidential brothers at the seaside, it is them who sponsor the uninominal vote”.POLITICS
Geoana tries to refresh PSD for election of MEPs – Roxana Andronic – Ziua – read here -“Various categories of people attended the event: leaders dressed to the nines, workers in overalls or sports clothes, retired Romanians, children and lots of people representing the Roma people. In the very center of the stage the main party leaders were sitting and Ion Iliescu was the only one missing. As for Adrian Nastase, he was there, just like the "suspended" Ion Solcanu. Most of the attendants were waving red flags with the PSD symbols. Very now end then the activists would stand up and cheer. It all smelled like laboring proletariat“.
Democrats asked to give up populism – Ovidiu Banches – Ziua – read here -
“The APD (Pro Democracy Association) is expressing concern about Romanian Democrats' decision to no longer support the uninominal vote system in the version proposed by the APD. The latter association is also asking Romanian Democrats not to compromise the electoral reform for the sake of populism and political propaganda”.LATEST
BOR: CNSAS verdicts are moral assassinations – Cristian Andrei – Ziua – read here -“The BOR opines the CNSAS verdicts on the clergy who collaborated with the ex Securitate (Communist Secret Service in Romania) look like moral assassinations, part of the campaign meant to discredit the Church and diminish its role in society. This is why a committee of historians representing the BOR is going to continue research on the Communist regime, in terms of their own criteria for analysis”.
Interests at stake in November – Ovidiu Banches & Roxana Andronic – Ziua – read here -“If over 50% of Romanians vote for reform in the presidential version, the system resembling the one used to the election of mayors will prove advantageous for parties like the PD. Pro Democracy Association argues: "As proved in other states that use the majority system with two scrutiny tours, which the President is now promoting, there may emerge situations with parties gaining polls from 30-35% of electors and getting to have 60% of the seats in the Parliament, or parties with 10-12% of polls who don't even reach the Parliament" ”.

Give them the uninominal vote, dear Calin ! – Roxana Iordache – Ziua – read here -
“PM Tariceanu is challenging his government with a new test: the idea to take responsibility for the "uninominal vote" law in the version agreed on with the Pro Democracy Association. The context is that, with one single exception, no one wants the government to collapse. And no one wants the uninominal vote, actually, not even the PD (Democrat Party). This would be disastrous for the latter party, because it lacks top personalities, although it has got clientele-linked sponsors. And, above all, no one would admit not being fond of this vote system”.POLITICS
New game for President and PM – Razvan Gheorghe & Adrian Ilie – Ziua – read here -“The President of Romania Traian Basescu announced yesterday that he was going to arrange a referendum on the uninominal vote, although it was also yesterday that the Liberals announced the Tariceanu Cabinet was going to take responsibility for the uninominal vote law in the Parliament. During the reunion of Romanian Democrats' National Coordination Council the President put in bluntly: "I can tell you there will follow referendum". And the Democrats cheered. On the other hand, most parliamentary parties have been criticizing the President's initiative, as they think it is pointless, since the government is going to take responsibility for the law at stake“.
Romanian President launches PD candidates – Adrian Ilie – Ziua – read here -“There were almost 6,000 members of the PD (Democrat Party) who got together yesterday for a reunion of the National Coordination Council and for the launch of the PD candidates to run in the election of MEPs in Romania. Apart from the party leaders, there were present the President of Romania Traian Basescu and the EPP leader Wilfried Martens”.

Coface cuts on Romania's rating – F.B. – Ziua – read here -
“The Coface risk management company cuts on the rating for Romania in terms of company's payment capacity. From the A4 risk class Romania has got down to the A4 minus. The company claims the reason for it is the intensifying depreciation of national currency and the slowing reforms, against the background of political instability”.

The DNA discredits Justice – Roxana Iordache – Ziua – read here -
“Our judicial system has turned into a battle between Justice and judges, more exactly between prosecutors and judges. Justice usually returns to the Prosecutor's Office, especially to the DNA (National Anti-Corruption Department), important cases with public personalities accused of corruption. And judges see that prosecutors have done their job and obeyed political orders, even if they are professionally compromising. Or it is about ungrounded indictments and unconstitutionally administered evidence and made up cases, just like in the time when communism was emerging”.POLITICS

The candidates at stake are 2 Liberals, 2 Social-Democrats, 2 Democrats, 3 representatives of the PRM ("Greater Romania" Party), 1 member of the PNG (New Generation Party) and 1 of the UDMR (Democrat Union of Magyars in Romania).

PSD leader in mood for revenge – Anca Hriban & R.I.P. – Ziua – read here -“This is what Mircea Geoana, president of the PSD (Social-Democrat Party), said when introducing the candidates to run in the election of MEPs in Romania: "I am in the mood for revenge because of the humiliation may mayors had to put up with all over the country. I have heard what has happened to my colleagues for three years now: members of my mayors' families are fired just because they are members of the PSD. I want this party to govern Romania, for we know we can do better for the country. But I also want to give them their dignity back and we will thus stand up to say it is time for change" ”.
