National Press Review, February 9

What are the targets of the government run by Mihai Razvan Ungureanu? Find a list of the most important in Evenimentul Zilei: income growth of population, differentiated remuneration of staff in health system according to performance , charging large fortunes, opening 200 kilometers of highway, privatizations in the energy and youth loans.

Adevărul believes the "Ungureanu received an electoral program." Coalition leaders introduced promises in the program , in such a way as to differentiate from Boc and to "absorb popular discontent in election year."

Jurnalul Național writes, but, that Ungureanu will apply " government-program Băsescu -IMF." Nothing new, is the continuation of the old and the commitments made by coalition in the presence of IMF, "streaky here and there , with some older desires of all governments : reducing the number of tax evasion, construction of X km of highways etc.. etc. ", Jurnalul Național believes.

What has happened in recent days, Ziarul Financiar headlines: "Romania without head: in capital governments are changing, in Bărăgan 400 people were caught for two days in the terror train ". This shows how torn is the reality of political world in the country. In the commissions that yesterday questioned the new cabinet, no one asked the future Minister of Transport what he would do that such a situation may not be repeated - observes Ziarul Financiar.

About people stuck 50 hours in " terror train " Galați, Brașov, also România Liberă writes that the authorities ignored the situation: "Unbelievable! 400 passengers, left without any chance". Prisoners from the carriages frozen in snow drifts were given baloney, bread and water, but no hope that they will be saved. One of them says that people got off the train in order to eat snow because it no longer anything what they hydrate with. Machines sent to help were broken on the road.

"Testimonials from terror train " and in truth. Frozen , hungry, thirsty, scared and exhausted. After days and nights of torment, people went back where they started from. They stood in indescribable misery and were given grissini and wafers, and also they were made ​​tea from toilet water tanks and melted snow, as they had what to drink. Conductors disappeared and people were in panic. "I wanted to burn a carriage as we were paid attention by anyone," says a traveler.

"Isărescu would not an agreement with the IMF, but to face the markets" –we can read in Ziarul Financiar .Surprising statement of the NBR governor : after 2013 when the current agreement expires, Romania would no longer have to resort to the Fund, but would have to demonstrate financial markets that it can manage on its own. Yesterday, at the seminar" Romania , which way ?”, Isărescu said that he is not the partisan to the brutal adjustment of debt, as happened in the 80s.

Yesterday European Commission adopted CVM report ( the Co-operation and Verification Mechanism) for Romania and Bulgaria. Will it open the Schengen door? – România Liberă wonders. Findings show that the country has progressed. There are outstanding , but overall we have a better mark than that granted Bulgarian neighbors. Holland thinks in its own key and announced that it expects two consecutive positive reports CVM.
