Romanian government under pressure as 500,000 protest
Mass rallies persist nationwide despite scrapping of contentious decree that decriminalised some corruption offences.

Freedom for Romania!

Free from what?
They live in systematic corruption.
Twenty-five years ago, the Communist leaders of Eastern Europe were falling like dominoes. And on Christmas Day in 1989, Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, were executed by firing squad.

Where do you think they learned this?

Decrminalizing corruption is not good. Any politician that was behind the decree should be publicly shot. Government is for the people not for opportunistic criminals.

me too :2 cents:

From corrupt democratic regime!:1orglaugh
Yes they was killed.

From Brussels(Euro) bureaucrats?

i'd rather say it's soviet tradition :error

Merkel from Komsomol too :1orglaugh

I don't know how corrupt Romania was in the 1800's. But I have daily dealings with Romanian coworkers and hear their comments about the condition of the corruption there.

We have facilities in Bucharest -- our customer and model support is headquartered there. We also contract with many Romanian cam studios and models.

Most allude to the conditions of the Soviet supported regime of Ceausescu and the normalization of graft, corruption and tax evasion that became a Romanian tradition.

you can say a lot about Merkel (and I am no fan of her either) - but not even her biggest enemies would claim that she'S corrupt.

and I applaud the romanian people that they stand up against being fucked over again after the last elections

After few years they will blame usa for support today corrupt democratic regime.))
But not himself.
Gerhard Schröder(was before merkel) work in Gasprom and build nord stream 2 with Putin now.

not so big difference - in west europe greece spain and italy even bigger. but stereotypes

I`ve heard that there were 300.000 only in Bucharest ! They were very united .:upsidedow

Nice no stats for Russia on that map how convenient :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

KUDOS to the romanian protesters. Fuck Corruption!!!!!!!!!!!

same here! a good example to follow.

Fuck corruption. Good luck for Romanians and every other country fighting it

:thumbsup

That's what should be done when crooked stuff like this happens - applauding the Romanians.

Not much comparing the size of a country but still, I envy their people how they are fighting what they don't like. Wasn't expecting that from corrupted Romania, but I was wrong. Pressure on the government definitely works

yeah, he received a shit ton of criticism for that but nothing could be done legally

but getting criticized about corruption from a Russian is amusing anyways :upsidedow

wanna post some pics from the houses Putin and his friends own? :winkwink:

and what was exactly Putins official salary? like $130k a year? lol

We talk about Romania :1orglaugh In Russia is still a problem in the property structure gov/private. Gov have biggest part of country property . It not problem with corruption. Corruption - it is a consequence.
Because you have some prejudice.
Illegaly? they will write law what they need - like now in Romania. Like Tillerson and exonn
It gov property houses. He work with guys who trust - with friends.
I not will say he make more bad for country then good.
i will vote for him twice:1orglaugh

you are an amusing dude, you should try standup comedy

I hope the citizens get what they are protesting for before June! Can't wait for my first trip to Romania :)

Brad

I doubt they will but you will have good time am sure :)

I will gladly open my doors for Romanian camgirls seeking safe haven asylum. I think its our duty to help refugees in this time of crisis.

Are you accusing establishment bbc of being pro Russia? That map is for EU, no Norway, no Swiss etc as well.

Comments I have head involve;
Healthcare -- it free (or very cheap) but if you don't bribe the medical personnel you might die waiting in the hospital hallway.
All taxes; income and VAT are evaded when possible. Is the national sport ...
Getting a business license either takes forever or you grease all the government clerks and officials with bribes to get things done.

Government and healthcare workers are poorly paid and bribes are accepted supplemental income. Many other countries are similar.

Last time I flew from Prague to Bucharest my next chair passenger was an engineer for Lear Siegler, one of the largest automotive seat manufacturers in the world -- he was flying in to inspect the plant in Romania. Lear Siegler is there for the same reasons we are -- lower cost labor in the Euro area. We pay the prevailing wage or better in Romania but that is a lot less than France or Holland. Prices are varied in Romania. Property in Bucharest is rather expensive compared to wage scales.

The average unskilled wage in Romania ain't much;
