The representative of the southern coastline lifeguards said, given that they do not receive the money, starting next week lifeguards will begin a Japanese strike.
Lifeguards in Eforie and South coastline threaten that they will withdraw from the beaches if they do not receive the money they ought to from the Ministry of tourism.
People say they have had troubles this season: whimsical sea and tourists who risk their lives without taking into account their alerts.
Not even the red flag exhibition which prohibits the bathe has not deterred some to venture offshore so lifeguards were on alert all the time.
However, since May, there have not received money from the State budget for this service, they say.
George Lipoveanu, the representative of the southern coastline lifeguards said that, in these circumstances, from next week the lifeguards enters in a Japanese strike, and if this does not resolve the problem of financing till August 15th, they withdraw from the beach.
According to law, a beach without lifeguard service and without medical care closes, noted Lipoveanu.
