Aflam dintr-un ziar indian (1) dar si de la hotnews.ro ca moldovenii expulzeaza 2 diplomati romani si si-au chemat Lidia Gutu (ambasadoarea) inapoi.

Since I just uncovered the latest Russian PR campaign involving Romania, Moldova and Roma it’s only fitting to uncover a slightly older story. Recently, the best known Arabic media outfit took a good look at the “modern slavery” the women in the “poorest European country” and “greatest exporter of sex slaves” find themselves in Western Europe. It’s not the first time they do; in the past, they looked at Moldovan orphans and organ trafficking.

In articolul despre MaraTOROn, am mentionat Kiva.org, proiectul bazat pe ideea de microfinantare pentru care fondatorul (Yunus) a primit premiul Nobel. Astazi am facut primul imprumut caritabil unei doamne din Republica Moldova si alteia din Liban si sunt grozav de multumit.

The ink on the Romanistan series (I, II, III) had yet to dry when news that the Russians are blaming Roma migration on Romania has, verisimilarly, sprung up from Nezavisimaya Gazeta.

Imi vine greu sa urmaresc ce se-ntampla in Moldova, intre altele fiindca neputinta ma-nfurie. Mai mult, logica sau bunul simt par sa fi fost interzise si proscrise, odata cu diseminarea propagandei referitoare la implicarea Romaniei in “Revolutia Twitter”.

Planuiam sa public articolul maine, dar aflu de pe Twitter ca politia a-nceput atacul. Pentru moment nu exista video sau poze cu ce face Politia, dar voi adauga pe masura ce aflu.

Dupa ca mi-am socat puternic cititorii scriind despre chestii care le trec prin gand dar nu vor sa iasa, m-am gandit sa zic si de alte alea. Cum ar fi Vanghelie si Basarabia.

Citeam in Economist ca Germania ne-a mijlocit un tratat cu Moldova. Cred c-ar fi un bun prilej sa renuntam la visele de reintregire.

Ministrul Justitiei are un raspuns balansat si inteligent.

I have met quite a few Germans lately. One of them told me about his happy road trip through Romania and the Moldovan Republic, and I thought his story is worth sharing here.

Though it may be unfair to extend the failure of the Romanian National Press Agency (Agerpres) and the Romanian External Affairs Ministry to an entire nation, let us not forget that part of their job is to represent the country. The recent faux-pas, confusing the French contours with the German one in a one-print commemorative brochure is, unfortunately, indicative of the dilettantism that has taken over the Romanian government.

Whereas in English "Caracal" refers to a “medium-sized wild cat”, in Romania it’s a small town, possibly named after the long disappeared animal. Recently, what may very well be a serial killer has been arrested after some agonizing, train-wreck of a police investigation. This would be the first such criminal there in a long time.

If you follow Romanian news, you mustn’t have missed how Victor Ponta, the current Romanian prime-minister, leader of the most popular (and also crypto-communist) PSD party and the most likely winner of the upcoming presidential race, launched his candidacy, on his birthday, on a stadium.

I don’t like to adopt a nationalist stance on any day of the year and least of all when you are supposed to do so, such as on December 1, Romania’s national day. Rather than pen yet another pointless, devoid of meaning nationalist article, I’d much rather look at a few forgotten issues.

Nu stiu daca stii, dar Gallup a scos un top al fericirii ieri. Canada se afla pe locul 2, dupa Danemarca, la egalitate cu Suedia. Ghici unde-i Romania?

I have previously echoed on this blog news about Romanians in the #diaspora. This time, we’re discovering the story of a girl born in an #Austrian refugee camp to a Romanian mother and an (absent) Italian father, who was reborn in an aboriginal village.

Incepusem sa vorbesc in primul articol despre cum vaz eu lucrurile si-n special conjectura l3st. Ici-sha trecem din planul ideatic in parcarea din spatele blocului si cercetam ce e de facut.

I suspect there is a 'TestVote' application for each member country of the EU. I decided to follow my own recommendation from Romanian MEP elections in Toronto and go through this, just before voting. Since there is very likely an English one in existence, and the English vote has already concluded, this article has the questions left in original, in Romanian.

Exista o gramada de idei false care persista in pofida statisticilor, datelor stiintifice accesibile tuturor. Cum am promis, atac aici un subiect mai greu de-nghitit care taman d-aia ma atrage.

One of the best known Romanian folk stories is that of "Human Stupidity", as told by a Romanian bard from Moldova, Ion Creanga – famous for his “Recollections from Childhood”. I haven't found an English translation online, so I decided to translate it myself with the help of Google.
