National Pres Review, 3 april

03 Aprilie 2012, 10:31

From the newspapers we found who are the 26 specialists that will help the government to launch again the country’s economy, how journalists see Cristian Preda’s exclusion from the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL). We also found how exotic is the list with the members of the Conservator Party (PC).

“Who are Ungureanu’s people, the 26 from the private medium who have to launch again the economy”, we found from ZIARUL FINANCIAR.

In order to understand what happens within the private sector, the prime-minister has formed a council of experts: entrepreneurs, bankers and heads of big companies. With their help, the government will establish the economic strategy. The advisers’ team has to be announced today.

Another parliamentarian sent in front of justice for corruption: “Mircea Banias, the port-bribe senator”, writes ADEVĂRUL. He was indicted yesterday, being accused for bribery and supporting of a criminal economic organized group.

The group’s purpose: charges on the goods that arrived in the country through the port of Constanţa, either to allow the illegal entrance, or to release goods that were on hold without any veridical reason –sustain the National Department Anticorruption (DNA) prosecutors. From each transport they obtained even 13,000 dollars.

About the movements from PDL of yesterday, on the first page from ROMÂNIA LIBERĂ: “Preda –deposed, Blaga –head of campaign”. The democrat-liberals are ready for election. They reformed the party and gave the discussions about moral integrity on pragmatism and military organization, consider the journalists. In one day, they have reinstate “caporal” Blaga and have satisfied the caprice of the PDL candidate at the Bucharest Mayor, Silviu Prigoană.

Also, the Macovei-Preda-Voinescu trio, always conceived as a stranger body, has charged an older bill from the important people in PDL –writes România Liberă.

“Chevron puts the handkerchief on the dulcimer”, we read in JURNALUL NAŢIONAL. Three weeks since the launching of shale gas scandal, the Americans come with declarations in order to calm the population, according to which it would be “a clean source of energy”.

Chevron mentions that for 60 years the hydraulic fracture technology was applied in completely safety in many places in the world. The press has reported, although, in detail, about a series of accidents. In addition, the environment agency from the United States shows that the method is to blame for polluting the waters into an exploited area.

“The dead people from graves, members of Voiculescu’s party”, have discovered the reporters from EVENIMENTUL ZILEI. The list with members exposed by PC at the Bucharest Court is full of forgery and illegalities. There are 53,000 persons on paper.

There are minors who are members in PC, with invented Personal Numeric Codes (CNP), as well as members from other parties. Moreover, among the supporters of this party there are also dead people.

“Loto has made two times richer than his city”, writes ADEVĂRUL. The city Topoloveni from Argeş is on fire these days at the news that an inhabitant has won 2 million Euros at the lottery. The amount is two times bigger than the budget of the city.

Maybe the most curious regarding the mysterious winner is the rich mayor, who will see himself deposed from his posture as the richest man in the city.
