Residents of the commune want to expel a citizen who became a lottery millionaire: “We work, we don’t gamble”

There is a lot of commotion 30 or so kilometers from the district center, with people already taking to the streets and paved roads to protest. “Down with the Pechea millionaire!”, “We don’t need gambling rich people” or “We work, we don’t gamble” – these are just some of the slogans demonstrated by ordinary people. One of them, nea Petrică, told us bluntly: “Pecea became famous only because of boxers and a few privatized people who hardly remember the commune, but not because of lottery millionaires who will surely pretend that we are not I know. Lucian Bute and I and other boxers. That’s it!” This is an unprecedented step in this region of Romania.

Being in the middle is pure envy? Tanti Lenutsa, who lives further up the hill from the hospital in Pecs, says that it is not necessary: ​​”What example does this millionaire set for our youth? That you become rich through a lottery or lottery organized in your own home. “This is not normal, we make our future only in the sweat of our brows, writes Viața Libera

CNAIR patched up the bridge in Vranca, which was about to collapse, with sticks

Jitia Bridge on National Highway 2N in Vranca is under threat of collapse, images of broken bridge ramp and progressive state of deterioration of the bridge from CNAIR administration are published in local press.

DN2 N separates from DN 2 (E 85) Bucharest-Buzău-Focşani and is managed by the Buzău Regional Roads and Bridges Authority (DRDP Buzău), a regional authority created in 2022 that took over road management from DRDP Bucharest, Constanta and Iași.

Several secondary national roads in Vranca County were transferred from Vranca County Council to CNAIR (then AND and CNADNR), but the Ministry of Transport through CNAIR did not make the necessary investments to maintain, consolidate and modernize these roads. writes PressHub

Supporters point to Mesar: no one asked him to take UTA to Hungary

The Association of UTA Supporters’ Clubs (SCU) strongly rejects the inappropriate statements of Mr. Alexandru Mesar, according to which the fans demand that he withdraw the team from the Romanian Football Federation and move it to the Hungarian Championship.

“Thus, we see that before us is a new blunder of someone who leads UTA ​​without having any official position in the club. Yes, we agree that UTA were clearly at a disadvantage in some games, even quite severely in the Cluj game, but at the same time we have to see beyond the “smoke screen” launched by Alexandru Mesar.

We cannot and must not ignore the fact that UTA is in this impasse, stagnating for months in a direct degradation position, precisely because of the wrong decisions made by the management, i.e. Alexandru Mesar. It is wrong to blame the situation at the club solely on the referees, when we can all see that the main reasons are related to incompetence.” writes Arad24.net

The mayor from Bihor “monitored” his deputy mayor and claims that he spends less than 4 hours a day in the city hall, of which 24 minutes are spent smoking cigarettes

The independent mayor of the municipality of Margita, Marcel Sass Adaskalicius, said that he was following the deputy mayor Demian Zholt of the UDMR, with whom he often has disputes, in both 2021 and 2022.

The vice-mayor was monitored, – says Sas Adaskalitiy, – with the help of surveillance cameras from access points in the city hall, and as a result, Demyan would spend less than 4 hours a day in the institution. The mayor even counted his deputy’s cigarette breaks, saying that they cost him an average of 24 minutes a day.

The mayor of Margita told, first of all, to the deputy mayor that he owes the municipality 27,000 lei. Previously, Sas Adăscăliții explained that Demian Zholt was the only one from Margita City Hall whose salary was not reduced by 10% in 2021, when such a provision was voted for City Hall employees, and this is in the context that mayors’ allowances can only be reduced for desirewrites Bihoreanul.

A multinational company with business in Iasi would misrepresent its expenses in accounting to reduce its profits. High Court

The country’s highest court will have to decide whether the Yesian fiscal is trying to fend off the corporation or is trying to defraud the state by all means. The amount of shares is relatively small, less than one million lei, but this case shows the position of the state, on the one hand, and powerful companies, on the other.

Taxpayers argue that some hard-to-track expense categories are artificially inflated, leaving an otherwise profitable company on the books as barely surviving. In turn, company representatives present their expenses as absolutely normal, the company has nothing to hide. The battle between the Fisc and Veolia has reached its first conclusion in the Court of Appeal, but the war is far from over, writes Ziarul de Iasi.

Living in renovated apartment buildings that are at risk of collapse during an earthquake

The last national technical examination and structural strength check of multi-apartment buildings was conducted in 1994-1995. After Romania’s accession to the European Union, the authorities began to invest massively in restoring the facades of old buildings to make them more energy efficient in line with community standards. However, they forgot to check whether the structure of the blocks had not degraded and whether they would withstand a strong earthquake.

Florina Josan (72 years old) has lived in a ten-story building on Drumul Taberei for almost 50 years. The paradox continues to live that the state repaired the facade of the building, insulating the external walls, but the building is full of cracks, including on the stairs of the building.

“This is an old block. There are cracks on the outer walls for about ten years. They were covered when the facade was made. I don’t know if there is any risk of damage to the unit in a stronger earthquake. I hope that is not the case. I would rather not think about it,” Florina tells us.

The administrator of the block is Florina Josan’s husband. “I know from him that this is a problem related to the security of neighborhoods in the area, on Drumul Taberei. But I don’t know how big it is. No one knows. The authorities pretend that they do not see, and the residents of the quarter prefer not to know. If they knew, it means spending money that many do not have, or even moving to other homes. Where should he go?”, the woman asks. quoted by Free Europe.

Romanian parliamentarian says there should be more gambling halls because “it will help the economy”

The parliamentarian suggests that there are not enough gambling halls in Romania compared to the profits that the state could get if people had a place to play. Then a well-known tax consultant, sitting not far from the parliamentarian, tells a room full of gambling industry representatives, politicians and civil servants that they are talking too harshly about the addiction to gambling and sports betting in Romania, because it’s good to talk too about “phone addiction”.

“Raise your hand, phone addict,” says the tax consultant. Hall laughs.

This is a meeting initiated by the Romanian gambling industry itself, with the aim of bringing together, among others, political decision-makers (referred to as “politicians”), companies and regulatory authorities, writes PressOne
