[01] POLITICS, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL NEWS
[02] Prime Minister Mugur Isarescu may run for the office of President of
Romania
Prime Minister Mugur Isarescu has talked to a number of attorneys at law of
Romania and the conclusion was that he may run for the supreme office in
this country as this does not countervene any law of Romania. Spokesperson
of the Cabinet Gabriela Vranceanu said the Prime Minister will make known
the way he manages his electoral campaing when it is started.
[03] The Government is looking for sources of financing the increase of
pensions in this country
Besides looking for foreign loans to increase pensions the Cabinet is also
trying to access some domestic sources, says counselor to the Prime
Minister Adrian Vasilescu. The solution and the decision are to be
announced after the meeting with pensioners next week.
[04] The leaders of PDSR - Social Democracy Party of Romania - estimate
that the party has a good image outside the borders of the country
First vicepresident of PDSR - Social Democracy Party of Romania - Adrian
Nastase said on Tuesday 22 August at the weekly press conference of the
party that PDSR has a good image outside the borders of Romania; for
instance during his recent visits to the United Kingdom, Canada and the
United States he assesed the image of his party outside Romania. The talks
he had did not deal with criticism of the encumbent power but with the
solutions which PDSR has for the recovery of the country. In as far as the
situation of the small vending places of Bucharest is concerned which were
built without the proper authorization, one of the mayors of the city said
that PDSR was not responsible of that as the buillding and false
authorization obtaining processes were due to the CDR - PD rule in the last
four years, between 1996 - 2000. Social Democracy Party of Romania is of
the opinion that the actions which the present mayor of Bucharest is
responsible of are nothing else but electoral propaganda. In the last week
the General Mayor of the city has ordered the tearing down of all vending
amenities which are placed on sidewalks and on public property.
[05] Estimates of the National Indexing Commission
National Indexing Commission has come to the conclusion that each Romanian
citizen regardless of social category should spend at least one million lei
per month for food and services alone. Everyday basket for an average
family and other needs raises the monthly sum of money to about 2.8 million
lei a month regardless of the region of the country the family lives.
[06] A Romanian delegation visits Bulgaria
Starting yesterday a Romanian official delegation representing the
Government of this country has been visiting Bulgaria. The delegation is
led by Viorel Badea who is secretary of state at the Department for
relations with Romanians living outside Romania. The delegation visited
Velingrad and Pestera where living are very many Aromanians. The aim of the
visit is the inauguration and equipping of two cultural centers. A meeting
took place with the vicemayor of the town of Velingrad whose name is Anghel
Toporcev as well as with representatives of the Aromanian population of
Bulgaria. The talks were focussed on developing relations of commercial
collaboration between Romania and those regions as well as the facilitation
of opening tourist centers by Romanian investors.
[07] Effects of the anthrax epidemic in the Danube Delta
