Editorial Press Review, November 10

Articol de Daniela Coman, corespondent RRA în Franța, 11 Noiembrie 2010, 20:47

In România Liberă, Lucian Davidescu, makes a detailed analysis of the crisis that continues to weigh on us, starting from the following observation, quote: "You can step out of a crisis either stronger or more deficient. Romania seems to have chosen the last path."

"Morally speaking, the state is already in bankruptcy."

"Perhaps the greatest tragedy of this crisis is that now everyone is hoping to at least return from where they have started.

Romania was on the recovery path of an economic handicap and needed many years of rapid growth.

After a break of almost two years, which will enable other countries to resume their growth, Romania still doesn’t know if it hit rock bottom’ – end of quote.

And if Romania’s economic situation, and each and every Romanian’s situation torment us the most, this should logically be the primary concern of the political class.

Marius Niţu does not suggest this in his editorial in Gândul , entitled "Miss National Interest", from which I quote: "In his 13-minute speech before the Parliament, president Băsescu utters the phrase "national interest" five times, but he never mentions the name Roberta Anastase."

"However, the entire country is blocked, it has propped against Miss Anastase, as a humble applicant inside the belly of a fat town hall doorkeeper."

"Opposition would choose death over joining the Parliament, unless the Lower House president leaves."

"Also the reality picture offered by Traian Băsescu is scary: crisis, Romania’s credibility is down, we need a quick agreement with the IMF, so we need some laws, so we need a functional parliament, but the entire country seems to be blocked."

"However, in his call for peace, the president does not mention the issue, which is completely illogical if he would honestly want his call to be successful" – considers the columnist.

"Is Roberta the reason why the country remains blocked?" Ion M. Ioniţă also wonders in Adevărul.

"He could consider resigning,’ the journalist suggests, adding: "He could save the party from a delicate situation by showing that he doesn’t cling to this position."

"Perhaps Roberta Anastase, buried up to her neck in problems, has not taken into account this option. Her good fellows or Traian Băsescu ‘could gently suggest her what to do."

In Evenimentul Zilei, Mircea Marian writes about "Băsescu’s intellectuals", who, according to the president, "got up from the PDL (the Liberal Democratic Party) table".

The PDL people are sick of this hesitating grumbling intellectuals brought by Băsescu into this party.

"The party they are now members of, gives them no options. They will be expelled from the party before the election, and at the next PDL Congress, the ones who dare to candidate will be taught a harsh lesson instead."

The columnist makes a distinction between the intellectuals who have recently joined the party and the senior members who, according to him, "know that votes can be bought with money, frozen chicken, "with work in the interest of the core organization", not with articles in the “22” magazine," Mircea Marian concludes.
