The Patria Prima Association announced that it had sent 85 emails that morning to the parliamentarians of Bucharest and the city councilors of the Capital, to find out whether they supported or opposed plans to eliminate some traffic lanes and parking spaces in favor of bike lanes and areas with restricted auto access. The Association argued that traffic in Bucharest was already choked and that millions of people depended on cars for work, family, shopping, and commutes between Bucharest and Ilfov. It also criticized the possibility of introducing fees for car access, questioning how those who could not afford them would get around and invoking the financial situation of STB, which it said was in insolvency. Patria Prima demanded explanations regarding the circulation of ambulances and fire trucks, evacuations in the event of earthquakes or disasters, and the existence of studies or simulations about the effects of the measures on emergency interventions. The Association stated that it would publish the responses from the elected officials and that it had placed the email addresses of Bucharest parliamentarians and city councilors on its website. In the post, the organization stated that small groups of activists could influence the decisions of authorities through debates, petitions, and pressure, while the majority of citizens did not make their voices heard. It urged people to write to their local elected officials and parliamentarians about issues such as traffic, parking, fees, and infrastructure, and to ask for explanations, documents, and written responses. #București #Trafic #DrepturiCivile (translated)

I saw that this common-sense proposal for peace, to put aside political debates, to see what we are doing with the country, was treated like a joke, effectively as a joke – not by UDMR, but by those from PNL. "I understood. I understood, political calculations are more important for PNL than the good of Romania. Well, at least we know one thing, they are interested in leaving Palatul Victoria as soon as possible, because they do not want to be held accountable for the disaster they have caused," Grindeanu added. #PSD #PNL #politică (translated)

Oana Eftimie wrote that she expected Calin Georgescu to be sent home that day, and that preventive detention would be replaced with house arrest. She described a potential change as a limited victory, which, in her opinion, would not erase the abuses and injustices that Georgescu and his family had been subjected to since September 21. Eftimie said she was disappointed by the number of people who showed up at the central detention center, but she called the support phenomenon there unprecedented. She added that although two weeks had passed, people continued to come and did not seem to have lost interest or determination. Referring to the controversies regarding Robert Turcescu's presence at the central detention center, Eftimie said she preferred to write about her own visit only the next day. She stated that the hints she received after spending a few evenings there in the first week made her withdraw. According to her, the criticisms came from people who had not been to the detention center, although they expressed their support for Georgescu online. Eftimie said she mostly spoke about the cancellation of the elections and about principles, while Turcescu had constantly supported Georgescu and had taken this position. She described the accusations of opportunism against Turcescu as ironic, in her view, coming from people who had tried to take control of the sovereignist movement since December 2024. #justiție #dreptate #solidaritate (translated)
