"The Prime Minister has a certain authority through the governmental formula, but he is dependent on a few key ministries," Bolojan said. "Consider that the agenda of a government meeting can include projects that are approved by certain ministries. Given that some approving ministries, such as the Ministry of Justice, which affects almost any decision-making project, are politically managed in one way or another, they are a key control of the Prime Minister's activity," Bolojan explained. "It also depends on how the Prime Minister assumes this responsibility." "It will not be a comfortable period if this Government is invested," Bolojan concluded. #Guvern #LucaNiculescu #PSD (translated)

Patria Prima argued that a rule signed by ANRE on October 9 would allow energy suppliers, starting in 2027, to dismiss complaints if they believe they contain inappropriate language or do not sufficiently describe the situation. The author stated that the rule does not define these terms and leaves the decision to the discretion of the complained firm. As examples, Patria Prima mentioned clients who contest a much larger bill or do not know how to explain why it seems incorrect to them. In the author's opinion, their complaints could be dismissed without the supplier checking the issue. Patria Prima also said that ANRE applies a similar rule to itself from 2024, which would allow the institution to ignore complaints about suppliers. The author claimed that the provision did not appear in the draft submitted for public debate and was introduced in the final form without ANRE specifying who requested it and why. Patria Prima stated that it had filed a complaint with ANRE and requested the cancellation of the rule, and if it is not withdrawn within 30 days, it will go to court. It also urged the public to share the information. #energie #ANRE #facturi (translated)

Acosti argued that Călin Georgescu's opponents were afraid of him because, in his opinion, they could not conceive that someone could act out of conviction and patriotism, without seeking a position or reward. He stated that Georgescu selflessly loved his country and possessed qualities such as stature, eloquence, and soul. The author accused Georgescu's critics of confusing position and wealth with value and respect, mentioning cars like the BMW X6 and Range Rover. He argued that dignity and character could not be obtained through positions, company cars, or image campaigns, and that power belonged to the Romanian people. Acosti further stated that the opponents' fear stemmed from the comparison with Georgescu, whom he described as a respected man without invoking his position. In his view, his presence made the imperfections of the critics more visible, and they were afraid of what they lacked. #România #Patriotism #Dreptate (translated)
