REFUGEES Romania firmly condemns the blatant violation by Russia of
Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as its international
obligations pursuant to international laws, Romania’s Prime Minister Nicolae
Ciuca said during the talks he had with his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal
in Kyiv on Tuesday. Ciuca has today announced that Romania is considering the
possibility of opening new border checkpoints at the border with Ukraine. The
number of Ukrainian refugees who came to Romania on Tuesday rose by 50% as
compared to the previous day – says the General Border Police Inspectorate.
3,655 Ukrainian nationals entered Romania at the country’s border with Ukraine
and 1,372 at the border with the Republic of Moldova. Since the onset of the
Russian invasion, on February 24th, until Tuesday 792,715 Ukrainian
nationals have entered Romania.








HOLOCAUST Six
torches are to be lit tonight at the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Day
ceremony. Six million Jews were killed in Europe during the Holocaust, the most
shameful page in the history of mankind, says Radio Romania correspondent in
Israel. President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett are going to
deliver speeches to the memory of the victims and the torches, a symbol for the
six million Jews who died in Nazi concentration camps are to be lit by Holocaust
survivors from Hungary, Lithuania, Austria, the Netherlands and Poland. Barbel
Bas, president of the German Bundestag, is this morning visiting the World
Holocaust Remembrance Center Yad Vashem in Jerusalem accompanied by the speaker
of the Israeli Knesset, Mickey Levy.








PLAN Romania has
accomplished all the objectives in the National Plan of Recovery and Resilience
(PNRR) it assumed jointly with the European Commission, the Romanian Minister
of the Economy Florin Spataru says adding that when it comes to the reforms chapter,
certain aspects must be reanalyzed in the following period and that will
contribute together with investment to a major jump of the Romanian economy,
which has the ability to see a fourfold economic growth by 2030. This growth
will become possible if the principles included in the resilience plan are
observed and funds intelligently used. According to the minister, money isn’t
the only opportunity offered by the PNRR, but also the principles of economic
and administrative reforms and all these converge towards a re-industrialized Romania,
according to the principles of green economy and through digitization.








SUPPORT Defence Minister Vasile Dincu has
reiterated Romania’s support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. The Romanian official
spoke within the Ukraine Defence Consultative Group hosted on Tuesday by the US
air base in Ramstein, Germany. Dincu had a brief meeting with his Ukrainian
counterpart Oleksii Reznikov whom he assured of our country’s full support for
Ukraine and the readiness of keeping a constant and open dialogue whenever necessary.
In Ramstein, the USA and their allies have pledged to support Ukraine by
providing heavy artillery equipment. The event was held at the initiative of US
Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin and involved the participation of scores of
defence ministers and chiefs of staff.






COURT Legal Committees in
the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies in Bucharest are today interviewing the
candidates proposed by parties for the new judges of the country’s
Constitutional Court. MPs will be voting the new candidates next week as the mandates
of three of its judges are due to end in June this year. They are Valer
Dorneanu, proposed by the Chamber of Deputies, Mona Pivniceru, proposed by the
Senate and Daniel Morar proposed by the country’s president. Made up of nine
judges appointed for a nine-year mandate, which cannot be extended or renewed,
a third of the judges of the Constitutional Court is being renewed every three
years. In another development, upon the request of the USR Parliamentary group,
Finance Minister Adrian Caciu is today participating in a fresh session of political
debates during the so-called ‘The Government Hour’. High on the agenda is the
diminished purchasing power of the Romanians, public finances and Romania’s
macro-economic balances.
