National Press Review, 28 October

Articol de Alexandra Stoica, 28 Octombrie 2011, 19:34

The first page title from the Adevărul writes “Saving Europe with instalment payments”. Everyone will feel the consequences, sooner or later: first the banks, then the states and then will be the population’s turn. How are Romanians going to pay?

Instalments will go up and it will be harder to get a loan. Inflation will increase.

Also the Evenimentul Zilei writes “Last night of torment for Greece, first day of nightmare for Europe”. Now other problems will occur: for how long will the Europeans feel relieved, what was taken care of and who will be left holding the sack? How will the banks manage the capitalisation asked by Brussels?

The Ziarul Financiar writes that “Europe resurges, but Romania still asks how to keep the money from foreign banks in the country”. Nine of ten foreign banks which control the top ten local players need billion of euros for recapitalisation.

In the România Liberă we read “What could happen to Romania after the bankruptcy of Greece. Is Romania really going to be left without any money?” A short answer is that the bankers will be more and more cautious. For countries that are considered risky, like our country is, loans will be expensive if not impossible.

We abandon the subject of the debt crisis and we move one to an ecologic crisis.

The Jurnalul Naţional writes “We burnt the forests. Now we dry the rivers”. 3,300 of the 4 000 rivers and brooks risk being destroyed by the “smart guys”. After being stripped of their forests, the Carpathian Mountains are being attacked by the fever of the technical constructions. Why? It has begun a real chase for the green certificates that bring owner of micro hydra-electric power stations millions of euros as a prize for their ecologic production of energy…ecologic with inverted comas.

Under the title “Poison in the glass: countries that fabricate windscreen liquid and spirits”, the Evenimentul Zilei brings into focus the fact that almost all the alcoholic beverages on the market are counterfeit. Amateurs risk developing cirrhosis, the doctors say. How do we know what to avoid? The first clue is the price. A bottle of one litre cannot cost only 6 RON. That is the cost for taxes only, the vendors say.

In the end, in the Adevărul an article that gives us hope “A medical first on a baby”. At the Marie Curie Hospital in Bucharest, Professor Gheorghe Burnei managed to correct the spine of a two year old girl who was born malformed. For this procedure, the doctor implemented six bolts in the child’s body.
