I have made the mistake to look at what Adrian Nastase had to say in his defense. It's quite persuasive. This document makes use of certain HTML5 tags that are presently supported only by Chrome / Chromium and make reading easier.

After #yeslavot let’s see who won and why..

The recent debate of Romanian politics in the European Parliament was the grotesque conclusion to this summer of our disco tent.

Este greu de evitat scandalul Severin, cu atat mai mult cu cat nu demult vorbeam despre Nastase si in episodul anterior despre Malaxa. Nu cred ca Severin este mai corupt decat alti politicieni europeni; este insa mai prostut si mai naiv si, ca si diplomatul din Singapore si in general oamenii proveniti din societati in deriva, cam fara busola etica.

Sriracha is a 'sauce piquante', SRI is the Romanian Secret Service, fall is autumn, and in Romanian "picant" could also be derived from 'to fall' which is 'a pica.' We look at the consecutive declarations of Romania’s president, an allied journalist and finally, the candidacies of other president-hopefuls, from the head of the Romanian Secret Service, Melescanu and to the former Justice Minister, Macovei. But most of all, the title is a tip of the hat to Vlad Petreanu and his excellent expose, with a title that translates roughly as “The [secret] Services Autumn.”

Un articol recent Romania's rule of law | Justice for some | Economist.com discuta ultimele scandaluri de coruptie din Romania. The stakes are high: o Romanie corupta (cea mai corupta in ultimul survey Transparency International) compromite sansele extinderii Europei in continuare, iar Europa poate raspunde refuzand sa mai recunoasca deciziile judiciare romanesti.

In my previous election adventures, I have relied heavily on the 'testvote' application and even shared and commented my results with you, my readers. I was planning to do the same this time, then I noticed something peculiar: all the candidates have virtually the same position! Upon further investigating, it appeared that either the application has been updated in the meantime or there was an error due to poor Internet connectivity and bad coding.

Extreme division in the public opinion is not new and is not common only to Romania. What is special about our situation is how ludicrous and paranoid their claims are. In this article commenced long ago, we look at how “tunnel vision” and “excessive focus” ruins politics, and implicitly, electorates who fail to censor the politicians who succumb to it.

Chiar nu ma asteptam sa reuseasca CCR sa se achite atat de bine de sarcina neutralitatii si in acelasi timp sa raspunda legal si balansat samavolniciei USLasilor. Nu intentionez sa ma prezint la votul de referendum si recomand cu caldura oricui iubeste libertatea sa faca la fel si sa-si vada de concediu. Ai muncit mult ca sa traiesti bine, ai dreptul la un bine-meritat R&R.

Avem dezbaterea finala a prezidentiabililor, dar eu n-am reusit s-o vad, deci n-am cum s-o comentez. Ma rezum la vechea dezbatere si la dezbaterea dintre mine si AlphaDog.
