MANDATE The Liberal
retired General Nicolae Ciuca has today stepped down from the position of
Romania’s Prime Minister designate after his failed attempt to rally Parliament
support for a minority PNL-UDMR government. The Liberal leadership is to decide
today over a new negotiation mandate in order to get majority. PNL leader, the
interim Prime Minister Florin Citu, announced yesterday that his party would
hold talks with all the democratic forces in Parliament. The Liberals are also
going to decide today upon the person nominated for the position of Prime
Minister. The former PNL partner USR and UDMR have announced their readiness to
rebuild the right-wing coalition, which they left in September upon a conflict
with the then Prime Minister Florin Citu. The PNL-UDMR minority government
headed by Florin Citu was dismissed through a censure motion and Nicolae Ciuca
has been the second Prime Minister designate after the failed attempt by USR
leader Dacian Ciolos to get support for his cabinet.








COVID-19 Over 11 thousand new Covid-19 infections
were reported in Romania on Tuesday as well as 591 related fatalities. The
situation in the country’s hospitals has worsened with over 20,500 patients
currently under treatment, 1876 of them in ICUs. Six patients in a severe
condition have today been flown to hospitals in Hamburg by a plane belonging to
Germany’s air forces. The intervention is part of the international support
Romania benefits, which includes medicine supplies, assistance in the treatment
of patients by medical personnel from other countries. The Romanians’ interest
in vaccination has slightly decreased in the past days with only 49 thousand
getting the first jab of an anti-Covid vaccine.








DRILL Over 1,000 Romanian and foreign
troops and roughly 100 land, air and naval vehicles are participating until
November 12th in a joint drill entitled ‘Junction Strike 21’. In the first days
of the drill, Romanian and Portuguese servicemen trained in a fictitious hybrid
warfare scenario in Mangalia, southern Romania. The drill has brought together
troops of the special forces of Georgia, Greece, Britain, the Republic of
Moldova, Poland and the USA. On Monday, Air base 57 in Mihail Kogalniceanu,
south-eastern Romania, played venue for a demonstrative exercise of enhanced
air policing by Romanian and Canadian servicemen. Enhanced air policing under
NATO command is a collective defence mission aimed at protecting the Alliance’s
air space and consists of intercepting aircraft that may violate a national
airspace for various reasons.








SUMMIT Romania has one of the lowest rates of
greenhouse gas emissions per capita in the EU, Romanian president Klaus
Iohannis said in Glasgow on Tuesday, adding that the country intends to
increase its production of electricity out of renewable sources in the future
as well. Greenhouse gas emissions have been cut down by 64% and Romania
presently boasts one of the lowest rates in the EU, Iohannis went on to say.
The Romanian official also says that our country is fully supporting the EU efforts
to cut CO2 emissions by 55% until 2030. Over 100 world leaders, who have
convened for the climate change summit COP 26 in Glasgow, have pledged to stop
and reverse illegal logging and land degradation by the end of the decade and
earmark 19 billion dollars out of public and private funds for the protection
and regeneration of forests.
