National Press Review August 21

"Politicians have got to beat up on the votes of those who were expelled from Romania", notes Ziarul Financiar.

"They forget that the disastrous management of the country has made them to leave". In 20 years, the number of employees has been halved, in the past decade three million have left the country.

Jurnalul Naţional claims that "The figures sent to the Constitutional Court validate the referendum: Traian Băsescu-dismissed".

The documents clearly show that in the permanent lists can be enrolled -14.8- 14.9 million citizens.

A quorum of half plus one and majority expressed by vote are met.

Any other decision sends Romania into chaos and attracts on the Court liability for an unlawful act, considers the newspaper.

On the other hand, Adevărul believes that "Government dizzy the Court with vague figures".

According to the newspaper, the Government would propose the deletion from list of 3.5 million voters, while there is no legal basis.

Also România Liberă considers that it would be "a last attempt at diverting the attention of the public and the Judges of the Constitutional Court, too" and wonders "why do we have been counted by Ponta Government ?" if Prime Minister congratulating on July 29 the Minister of Administration and Interior for perfect organization of the referendum.

Evenimentul Zilei believes that "the only option of the CCR is invalidation. The nine magistrates have the chance to end the prolonged crisis of authority ".

The daily presents the options and consequences we have. Going on invalidation scenario: is it possible Băsescu-Ponta cohabitation? Both agreed in the interviews for foreign journalists.

"BNR gives banks less and less lei", we read in Jurnalul Naţional .

13 credit institutions have taken from the Central Bank by 3.7 times less money than they requested.

The decision to limit the national currency on the market caused the currency to recover some of its loss in July.

But for the national currency to appreciate in the long term is needed to enter the euro in the country-in the current difficult economic conjuncture.

România Liberă writes today about the "Enormous lie of Romanian tomatoes".

Are healthier than those imported and grown only on natural methods? Fake.

Consumers do not know that excess Romanian vegetable growers use a controversial substance, prohibited in some countries, which makes the tomatoes to ripen almost on the spot How to recognize them: generally, are red on the outside, but the core is still green.

"How Merkel is waited by Chişinău ", we learn from Adevărul .

German Chancellor makes a flash- visit tomorrow- in the Republic of Moldova and the authorities rush to develop the last details: "to finish repairing the roads, polishing lamps in the Republic Palace , where Angela Merkel will hold a speech and ... to more refined about 20 meters of turf that was ripped off as soon as it was put". Workers smooth roads literally ,Moldovan politicians hope that this visit will smooth the Chișinău path towards the European Union.
