Wedding with defendants and judges: Sten got married, Cyrica got drunk, Savoneia had fun, Adomniceus was acquitted

Despite being suspected, accused or even sent to court in corruption cases, Mayor Mihai Kirica was invited to the wedding of Gheorghe Stan, a judge of the Constitutional Court of Romania. Mihai Kirica was in the company of the cream of the Romanian judiciary: general prosecutors, heads of the CSM, judges of the High Court of Cassation and justice. For the mayor, this PR, even on the front line, is hopeless.

Gheorghe Stan is a long arm caressing Mihai Kirik from 400 kilometers away. The CCR judge is the main representative of an extremely powerful group in the Romanian justice system, consisting of prosecutors and judges who promote and support each other, ReporterIS writes

Director Alexandru Solomon, director of the film “Arseny. Afterlife” reported today on his Facebook page how he found himself in a situation where the screening of his documentary was canceled by two cultural institutions in Arad under the pressure of some threats.

“Tonight, Arseny. “Afterlife” was to be shown at the Arta cinema in Arad at an event organized by the Citizens’ Association. 48 hours ago, the association was informed by the Municipal Cultural Center of Arad that the review could not take place because negative messages with threats had been received. Then the organizers managed to move the show to the district library. The Library also canceled the screening at 9pm last night. An hour ago, I spoke with the director of the Center, trying to understand how a government institution can cancel an event that was agreed upon a long time ago, based on verbal threats. Limit public access to the film in Arad without even watching it, writes Cultura la duba

Everything remained on the recording, which ended up in Libertatea.

The day when the tax office must close the locks on the doors, and the officials must disperse to their homes

After a “secular struggle” that lasted more than three months, the government presented the final version of the tax package. Let us set aside all such simple objections as may be raised against the Bill. Let’s ignore the lack of predictability. Let’s imagine that we don’t see version after version of the tax program appearing chaotically for three months, and now the final version has to be debated at a rapid pace as the government rushes to take responsibility in parliament. In the end, the state’s weak ability to analyze the consequences that the fiscal package will have on the budget and the economy no longer matters, RFI writes.

The government expects to collect 336 million lei from the banking sector as a result of the introduction of the turnover tax, Minister of Finance Marcel Bolosh said at a press conference.

Budget workers could return to the push-button telephone

Those on a budget will not have phones more expensive than 500 lei, and the paid subscription will not exceed 25 lei. Cars will not be more expensive than €23,000. The car restriction applies only to state-owned enterprises and institutions subordinate to the parliament and the government.

In the nine months that have passed since the beginning of the year, public institutions have spent two million lei on the purchase of mobile phones. The amount corresponds to only one CPV code – mobile phones. But it is not the only one used in the Public Procurement System, writes Free Europe.

Consequences of excessive taxation of banks by 1% of turnover. Are interest rates rising?

The package of fiscal measures, put up for public debate after months of debate and misunderstandings in the coalition, designed to close the budget hole and keep the deficit under control, also includes a 1% tax on banks. This event caused excitement. Will the loan rates rise or not?

After discussions between the Ministry of Finance and the head of the National Bank of Romania, Mugur Iserescu, a consensus was reached on the taxation of banks at 1% of turnover.

Iserescu was unhappy because this taxation exceeds 16%, but he did not say it with a subject and a predicate, but referred to the “abuse of fiscal policy” that “suddenly harms the businessman” and creates “instability”, writes Free Europe.

CFR Călători and the Romanian state keep thousands of orphaned students or students from placement centers in the queue

Students who are orphans or come from accommodation centers are entitled to free train tickets, but the Romanian state forces them to stand in queues for this.

CFR Călători is in the process of modernizing the website through which it sells train tickets online, especially after the law changes the discounts that certain categories of travelers, including students, can take advantage of this fall. Despite this, the state-owned company does nothing to provide this benefit to vulnerable categories: orphaned students and foster children. They have the right to travel for free, but unlike everyone who can buy tickets online, they are forced to continue standing at the counter, writes PressOne

The case of a teacher who appeared naked in a video. Parents do not agree with the decision

The drawing teacher from the technological high school “Ştefan cel Mare si Sfânt” in Vorone, against whom a group of parents demanded radical measures through a petition, cannot be held responsible for any wrongdoing.

The video in which she appeared naked caused a public outcry, but this is not a reason to punish the teacher, as established by the previous service commission.

The teacher was criticized for a video in which she dances without a bra next to two mannequins dressed in clothes typical of rural women of the communist period. The scene, shot in 2011, was appreciated by international art critics and awarded an important award in Italy, writes PressHub.

Ministry of Energy: “The General Director will conclude a project contract for the development of technological plans for the termination of activities”

Regardless of the steps taken by the Working Group to update the restructuring plan of the Oltenia energy complex, and until the European Commission analyzes a possible report on this matter, the company’s mining perimeters are being closed one by one. According to the document of the Ministry of Energy, the energy company has drawn up technological plans for the termination of operations on three mining cuttings, and on another four mining cuttings, for which the stoppage dates have already been set in 2024 and 2025, the general director had to conclude a contract for the development of technological plans for the termination of operations, writes Gorjeanul.

Christian Grosu: Exit from the liberal market economy

A friend called me last night to complain about “how tough” the fiscal adjustment measures announced by the government are.

These measures are not severe (I told him):

it would be tough measures if they raised corporate tax from 16% to 30%. They are simply anti-economic and erase Romania from the map of liberal market economies.

Romania is the only country in the EU that takes measures of such economic absurdity, Curs de Governare writes

​The state loses more than 182 million lei from Galats

Debts to the state budget of the 25 largest debtors from Galatsia exceed 182 million lei, which is equivalent to 35.5 million euros
