Romanian Governing Plan Agreed by Smaller Pro-European Coalition​


"Romania’s pro-European parties settled on a governing program in a coalition that didn’t include a faction that sought deeper talks over fiscal measures to trim the European Union’s widest budget deficit.

The current ruling Social Democrats and the Liberals, together with the ethnic Hungarians party and lawmakers representing the other minorities, announced late Tuesday they had reached agreement on a set of measures that include keeping the flat tax system, streamlining public administration and boosting infrastructure investment.

The statement failed to mention the Save Romania Union opposition party, which initially joined a deal to form a broad pro-European government, but recently criticized the other groups for failing to present a credible plan to improve the public finances.

A government formed by the three parties and grouping of lawmakers would still command a majority in the legislature, albeit a tighter one in the next parliament, which is scheduled to begin work on Friday."

The bipartisan effort to pass legislation in support of democracy in Georgia comes amid the foreign policy U-turn on European integration, mounting repression by authorities, international isolation and democratic backsliding in Georgia.

The Biden administration has previously imposed sanctions and travel bans on Georgian Dream officials for a series of anti-democratic actions. This bill however, envisages further measures, such as requiring the executive branch to investigate all members of the Georgian Dream party and their immediate family members for undermining Georgian sovereignty and corruption. …”

“Several thousand people rallied in Montenegro on Sunday demanding the resignations of top security officials over the shooting earlier this week that left 12 people dead, including two children.

Chanting “Resignations” and “Killers,” protesters outside the Interior Ministry building in the capital, Podgorica, demanded that Interior Minister Danilo Šaranović and Deputy Prime Minister for Security and Defense Aleksa Bečić step down.

Milo Perović, from a student-led group that helped organize the rally, told the crowd that innocent people died during their watch. …

Wednesday’s shooting resulted from a bar brawl. A 45-year-old local man went home to get his gun before returning to the bar and opening fire. He killed four people there and eight more at various other locations before killing himself. …”

Imagine this kind of response after a mass shooting in the USA …
