National Press Review, 18 October

The Evenimentul Zilei made the reconstruction of the car crash caused by with Huidu Serban, together with rally champion Mihai Leu and concluded that the victims had no chance of survival.

The three men would have escaped if the Logan driver had pilot reactions.

The same topic in the Adevărul, from the psychological perspective: “The need for adrenaline destroyed Huidu”.

Experts said that people with such psychological profile are not deterred by a few fines from the police. In addition, powerful cars give drivers more security and make them drive more aggressively.

Also on Huidu’s case the România Liberă sought for the other responsible and noted that “although he had suffered a serious head injury in December, the authorities let him drive the car”.

Are doctors who treated him to blame? When asked by the newspaper, a renowned neurologist said that people who had suffered such injuries should not be allowed to drive never again.

We stick to the România Liberă , but we change the subject, and read what the union leaders said about the money hidden by the former CNSLR-brotherhood chief, Marius Petcu. In the union world some leaders were scandalized by the huge amount ,725 000 euros, that Petcu cannot justify.

Others said that this case was not singular and asked to verify where the money of the unions disappeared.

“Who is responsible for the disaster of European funds?” The Ziarul Financiar made us a chart called “The Pyramid of incompetence.”

Anonymously, an official from the European Commission explained where the fund-raising mechanism got stuck.

“Romania is now more resilient to external shocks than it was in 2008,” the Erste analysts told the Ziarul Financiar who continued to bet on further investments in Polish zlot and lion.

If you want to hit the road on ice and snow in Europe, you can find out from the Adevărul in what countries it is required to equip cars with winter tires.

In Britain, for example, you are liable to a fine if you use studded tires unnecessarily because they ruin the asphalt.

“Census brings scandal: did you decide who is head of the family?”, the Evenimentul Zilei asked us. In three days, the reviewer comes and it is compulsory to answer this question. With the help of the NGOs, there will be questioned during a hot meal also the homeless.
