National Press Review, 8 November

The Adevărul discusses in parallel the main topics on the internal agenda: the request of the PSD party to replace Mircea Geoană from the Senate leadership and Sorin Ovidiu Vîntu's arrest for Petrom Service bankruptcy.

The publication explains their choice on the front page: "Where's the oldtime spa", a title referring to the presidential elections of December 2009, when the two had a meeting at the businessman's villa.

Subsequently, two separate articles presented the stages that ended with what journalists call "a terrible day" for both.

These are the cases handled by prosecutors over time, leading to a new arrest of Sorin Ovidiu Vîntu, and the steps inside the PSD to change Mircea Geoană.

We also read in the România Liberă about the Petrom Service file, seen as "a kind of FNI, god-fathered by SOV and Luca."

Beyond the details of the charges brought by prosecutors, the controlled bankrupt company, the article records the statements made by the former Realitatea TV station manager, Sebastian Ghiţă, on the alleged relationship between Sorin Ovidiu Vîntu and some actors from the political scene.

The Jurnalul Naţional writes today about the difficult situation of the autonomous administration for Nuclear Activities due to accumulated debts.

The image painted with the paper contrasts with the one displayed by the heads and union leaders of the institution.

The increased wealth of some of them is due to investment contracts and repair works, while the "Poor nuclear administration with wealthy executives" has two alternatives left in order to befinancially balanced: either to increase the price of heavy water supplied at Cernavodă or to increase the price of the gigacalories on behalf of the people in Turnu Severin, the publication concludes.

The Evenimentul Zilei dedicated a feature article on "the shock that could upset the Royal House", referring to the trial started in our country anddut to which Prince Paul of

Romania could be aknowledged as heir to the estate of King Charles II.

After nearly 60 years since many courts in Europe have aknowledged Carol Mircea as the son of Carol II, in 2011, his son, "Prince Paul checks the king" and could get 62.5 percent of the royal wealth.

This means historic buildings, including the Peleş Castle, but also objects of art.

The publication added to the actions in court, pages of the love story that ended the current tensions of the Royal House.
