COVID-19 Romania has so far confirmed roughly 20,000
Covid infections. Out of these around 14 thousand people have been cured and
left hospitals, while 1299 have lost their lives. 114 out of the 3100 Romanian
nationals who have been confirmed infected abroad died. Health Minister Nelu
Tataru on Wednesday said that the COVID-19 test aimed at confirming people’s immunization
to the new virus would be carried out on 29 thousand subjects during the months
of June, July and August. According to the Romanian official, because a vaccine
cannot be made earlier than the first half of the next year, compulsory
vaccination cannot be introduced without a test period of two, three seasons.








MEETING
The Romanian government has
again convened in Bucharest for a new round of talks over the measures aimed at
jump-starting the economy and preserving jobs. A programme on supporting the big
companies through guaranteed loans is high on the talks agenda. Prime Minister
Ludovic Orban has announced he will use all the instruments available to back
investments, including through the creation of an investment fund made up of
budget resources or European funds if permitted. Prime Minister Orban on Wednesday
held talks with representatives of the Coalition for Romania’s Development over
the latest developments in the IMM Invest programme, the plans aimed at
boosting the economy and attracting funds from the interior and from abroad.








US Protest rallies in the USA caused by the
death of a black man in police custody proved to be quieter on Wednesday after
several days, which saw acts of vandalism and rioting. The latest events had prompted
President Donald Trump to threaten to send in the military to quell the growing
civil unrest. In his latest statement however president Trump says he won’t
need to send in troops after the US Defence Secretary has opposed the
president’s threatened use of the Insurrection Act to allow active duty troops
to be deployed in American cities. The UN rights chief, Michelle Bachelet
insisted the grievances at the heart of the protests that have erupted in
hundreds of US cities needed to be heard and addressed if the country was to
move forward. Solidarity rallies with the anti-racist protests in the USA have
continued in Europe as well.










AMENDMENTS Children in Romania are going to be given access to sanitary
education and not to sex education and in order to be able to attend these classes
they need parental approval, the Chamber of Deputies in Bucharest has ruled
amending a previous law on child protection and their rights. The aforementioned
amendments have been made upon the proposal of some MPs from the left-wing
opposition PSD and from the ruling National Liberal Party. The third ruling
party USR has denounced the initiative, arguing that Romania has the largest
number of abortions among minors. According to a survey made by Save the
Children NGO, six out of ten teenage moms have never had any access to information about
sex education or healthy reproduction.
