"The proposal of the Irish Presidency cannot be the starting point for an agreement. A reduction of 8% of the Commission's proposal, which already maintains the budget only at the level of the current period, would mean weakening our capacity to act, in the context of Europe being asked to do more regarding competitiveness, defense, and security. This would leave Europe less able to protect its citizens and compete economically with the major economies of the world. It would mean underfunding agriculture and reducing support for our regions. National budgets have increased in recent years, while the EU budget has not kept up. Instead, 10% of its purchasing power has disappeared due to high inflation," said Siegfried Mureșan, according to a statement from the European Parliament. #bugetUE #ParlamentulEuropean #reducerebugetară (translated)

Nae Moromete stated that PSD would have been captured by the "system" after the disappearance of Liviu Dragnea and predicted that AUR would meet the same fate after the disappearance of George Simion. He supported his prediction and urged the party's supporters to unite around Simion. Moromete claimed that those who criticized the AUR leader during those days were infiltrators of the system in the sovereignist movement. He listed Peia, Lulea, Pavelescu, and Uscova and associated them with individuals whom he said supported the "Black Widow" and who had previously appeared on "Televiziunea Poporului." He said he did not guarantee for anyone and had faith only in God, but warned that, in his opinion, propaganda aimed to divide AUR. Moromete added that he hoped Simion would not disappoint his supporters and that he saw no other chance for the party. #AUR #PSD #politica (translated)
Glenn questioned whether Greider could be independent and wrote that he had been the editor-in-chief of the social democratic DD for 30 years, with taxpayers as financiers. According to Glenn, 1.17 billion had gone to the newspaper over 54 years, despite it having only a few thousand readers. He described Greider as a socialist one day and a romantic communist the next, arguing that this hardly made him independent. Glenn also claimed that Greider had been dependent on funding throughout his adult life and had accumulated enough money to disregard what ordinary people thought in his old age. #politik #media #sverige (translated)
BobbyD criticized the public conflicts between Grindeanu, Bolojan, Nicușor Dan, and Luca Baghetaru, stating that they distracted attention from political games and the distribution of power. He claimed that, during this time, a person who benefited from the presumption of innocence was in custody. BobbyD said he had been sued after he publicly requested, without naming any company, that Romanians be allowed to vote freely according to their own conscience. He accused that people who had supported each other during the electoral campaign and had declared that they fought against the system that annulled the elections had come to attack each other. The author argued that "the System" had entered into a panic because more and more Romanians no longer believed in televised manipulation, political speeches, and propaganda. In his opinion, division prevented people from uniting and allowed those in power to pursue their interests unimpeded. BobbyD also wrote that Romania risked becoming a country where citizens felt powerless in the face of decisions made without them and interests that he considered contrary to the national good. He expressed sadness for the people who had hoped that the vote and the voice of citizens would matter and stated that the country could not be saved through conflicts on TikTok and attacks between former allies. #România #Politică #Manipulare (translated)
