“The greek pistol threatens every european”, the Evenimentul Zilei writes.

How will Romania suffer if the the greek people rejects at the census the plan made by Brussels? We would very affected :the country risk will grow, the lendings will be expensive, euro will reach 5 Ron, and the exports will go down.

From România Liberă we find out “How would we live if Romania would not barrow money at all?”.
Our country could even have a balanced budget in 2013, that is a zero deficit. Only that this would mean maintaining the austerity regime.

The victims would be the entire categories of people working for the state, the subsidies and the benefits for the companies that have problems.

But the risks of public debts are even more serious. Romania is among the first aliened pieces in the dominoes of the economic collapses, the newspaper says.

The problem of the non-profit state companies is in focus of the Jurnalul Național “The state lets 3 billion euros slip through its fingers. The companies that receive subsidies still have overweight employees and for the overheads great expenses are being made”.

The newspaper obtained a document that shows how these billions could be saved only if the management of the companies would be made properly.

In the Adevărul we read about “The first economic sharps saved by the passing of the time”
Four important corruption lawsuits are about to be cancelled, that is “Zambaccian”, “Aunt Tamara”, “Bribe at MApN”, and “Bribe in a shotgun”, although the investigations started more than five years ago.

According to the Forensic Code, once the term is passed no sentencing can be made.
The Ziarul Financiar writes about Lunguleţu, from the county of Dâmboviţa, the township where ten percent of the cabbage production in Romania comes from. A model of modernization in agriculture: now each family has a tractor.

But, “it’s not enough to produce if you don’t know how to sell”, says one of the biggest vender of potatoes in the township.

Despite the agricultural policies the government prides itself with, the farmers still equip themselves and their crop is still sold at the wayside.
