PARLIAMENT The bicameral Legislature in Bucharest convened for a fresh
Parliamentary session on Wednesday. MPs designated their leading structures
except for the presidents of the two chambers who are elected for the entire
mandate of the present Legislature. High on the agenda are the law of the
so-called vulnerable consumer, dismantling the Special Section for the
Investigation of Offences Committed by Magistrates as well as the law known as
‘No Criminals in Public Office’. The opposition is threatening with a censure
motion against the PNL-USRPLUS-UDMR government, which is currently seeing
tensions concerning the National Investment Programme. Speaking in the opening
of the Parliament session, Romanian president Klaus Iohannis said that people’s
confidence in Parliament is low because politicians don’t fulfill their pledges
and they need to adjust their agendas to meet the citizens’ real needs.
According to the Romanian president some of the reforms are still pending and
has called on the MPs to prove to the Romanians they respect them.








VISIT The visit paid to Romania by Igor Grosu, the president of
Parliament in the neighboring ex-soviet Romanian-speaking Republic of Moldova
is a historic one, Ludovic Orban, the president of the Chamber of Deputies in Romania
said on Wednesday. According to him, Moldova now has a majority, which is
sending clear signals of democratization, European integration and friendly
cooperation. In turn, the Moldovan official said that ‘after years of
wandering, the Republic of Moldova is coming back to the right way, a way of
the Western-type of development and modernization and Romania is the main
advocate of this country on its way towards European accession and integration.
The Moldovan official has thanked Romania for its consistent support for the
past 30 years since the country declared its independence. He also mentioned
the humanitarian support Romania gave during the pandemic, which saved hundreds
or maybe thousands of lives.










DIPLOMACY The challenges
on the international arena are a driving force for the adaptation and
reinvention of diplomacy to serve more efficiently the best interest of the
state and its citizens, said Romanian foreign minister Bogdan
Aurescu on Romanian Diplomacy Day, September 1st. Rooted in sustainable values
and objectives, Romanian diplomacy has in the last year built and developed
important landmarks in the construction of a more resilient Romania, the
minister also said. He added that the process of reflection and strategic
planning for the coming period will continue at the Annual Meeting of Romanian
Diplomacy to be held online between the 7th and the 9th
of September and discussing the role of the diplomatic service in consolidating
Romania’s resilience.
