Am fost destul de prinsa in ultima vreme cu vreo doua proiecte (mai multe, daca stau sa ma gandesc bine), astfel incat abia daca am apucat sa citesc presa – si pe aceea in diagonala. Nu mi-am mai verificat reader-ul de vreo cateva zile, si am apucat sa urmaresc foarte din avion dezbaterile politice. Sunt insa uimita nu de noua varianta de guvernare (PDL – PSD) – pe care o gasesc mai plauzibila decat initial vehiculata PDL – PNL (care in fond sunt membrii unei aliante politice rupte si dezintegrate pana la hiperdizolvare, daca ma pot exprima asa), ci de trista inviere a sentimentului nationalist la romani. Inteleg ca baza respingerii unei eventuale guvernari cu UDMR-ul de catre PSD consta in sentimentele negative pe care le-ar avea liderii partidului din Ardeal. Insa nu inteleg… Nu a spus in repetate randuri domnul Geoana ca PSD-ul e partid de stanga – singur si unic in Romania? Nu inseamna stanga o larga acceptare a minoritatilor nationale, a femeilor, a grupurilor neprivilegiate? Nu e stanga internationalista si opusa conservatorismului national? Curat murdar as zice…

Sunday was parliamentary elections day in Romania. Few Romanians left their cosy apartments for a trip to the ballot box (a bit less than 40% of them , to be more precise), and there’s worrisome statistics indicating that only 15% of the voters had higher education. This year we’ve also had a new voting system – a mixed member proportional representation, supported by a fairly large majority of the political spectrum (the liberals and the social-democrats), and opposed by the President’s party. As any proportional system, there were quite a few dissatisfactions with the way mandates were redistributed, but overall the system seems to have achieved its purpose.
The social democrats scored 33.6%, the democrats (allegedly a right-wing party, though their political programme seems to be the opposite) 33%, and the liberals 18.7%. The new voting system – with a 5% electoral threshold – eliminated extremist parties from the Parliament, which is great news. However, Sunday’s results leave us with a huge dilemma, as we do not know who will form the Government. Most probably, intense political negotiations will last till the end of December and our President will definitely take advantage of our semipresidential political system to veto plenty of government formulas that don’t suit him.
Unfortunately, the end of the year also reminds us we’ve done too little to curb corruption (one of the elected MPs this Sunday is actually in detention for fraud) and to absorb European structural and cohesion funds properly. With political strife prevailing over efficient administration, there are chances we will end up in the same situation of aid freezing as our Bulgarian neighbours…
Sunt ocupata rau zilele astea. Pe langa faptul ca am absolvit – si nu m-am putut abtine sa invadez blogosfera si Facebook-ul cu poze de capa si spada -, sunt intr-un fel de mini-turneu cu delegatii de tineret la ONU de anul acesta. In numai 3 zile de stat in Bucuresti, ei intalnesc in medie 7 persoane foarte importante pe zi, in cadrul unor reuniuni consultative. Reprezentanti ai autoritatilor centrale si ai celor mai importante organizatii non-guvernamentale din Romania. Din cand in cand ii mai insotesc si aflu lucruri extrem de interesante despre lumea din jurul meu. Continue reading ‘In turneu cu Alexandra si Bogdan!’
Intotdeauna m-am intrebat unde fug neuronii comunicatorilor atunci cand vine vorba de politica… Priviti mai jos ce am primit azi pe email. Conceptul creativ m-a lasat pe spate. Pana la urma, PES (Forumul Stangii Europene) e chiar un site interesant, insa felul in care au inteles baietii (ori fetele) din spatele platformei sa o comunice in randul tinerilor ma face sa cred ca ori sunt ridicoli, ori ne cred ridicoli.
