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)

It is very important for PNL to show that it is not PSD. "PNL, as I told you, is going into opposition; starting next week we are in a situation where we will not block the good things that any government will do. We have never done this. We will come up with correct proposals for the development of Romania, and when there is overreach, when public money is wasted, we will tax these things. So we will make a fair and honest opposition, and I believe it is a period where it is very important for PNL to show that it is not PSD, where we reconnect with the people, where we listen to the people and build a pole of modernization, so that the people who work in this country, the people who believe that something can be done in life, through honest work, through normality, that the direction of Romania is the European one, will have someone to vote for in 2028," said Ilie Bolojan. #PNL #LucaNiculescu #IlieBolojan (translated)

"Many tell me that they are worried about prices, rates, and job security. That is precisely why we cannot ask people to accept any government at any cost. The stability that is thrown in our faces must be felt in the lives of Romanians, not just in the tranquility of barons who have their people rob – and this while capturing the justice system. USR will not vote for a government in which PSD returns with some front men to the ministries with large budgets to block reforms and redistribute state contracts and companies," wrote Dominic Fritz on Facebook. #USR #GuvernNiculescu #politică (translated)

Many tell me they are worried about prices, about rates, about job security. That’s why we can’t ask people to accept any government, at any cost. The stability that is thrown in front of us must be felt in the lives of Romanians, not just in the comfort of barons who have their people robbing - and this while they capture justice. USR will not vote for a government where PSD returns with some front men to the ministries with large budgets to block reforms and to distribute state contracts and companies again.
