The blizzard shatters 3 millions of Euros per day" – we can read in Adevărul.

Limitation of freight transport by road and railways left companies without raw materials or inability to deliver products. What is lost these days it will be seen in the GDP of the first three months: a rebound of 0.1 percent. Growth in the first quarter is compromised, say employers unions, requiring postponement of payment for the period of frost.

Curierul Naţional draws our attention on the plight of transporters. Losses have already exceeded 200 millions Euros and next month some of the companies could go bankrupt. In addition, disruption truck traffic deprives population the basic necessities and products and require large plants, such as Dacia, to have production breaks that have no storage space.

"Why not take heavy winter explanation tells us România Liberă" 0 tons of salt on 13,000 kilometers of roads ". The document called" Partitioning of salt for winter campaign 2011-2012 ", the National Company for Motorways and National Roads of Romania( CNADNR) established in September that six of the seven regional directorates do not need salt this winter. This , along the rudimentary equipment that not to deal with snowdrifts.

Evenimentul Zilei writes about " Snow speculators . Local barons make snow removal contracts of tens of millions for blocked roads ". Tendering procedures are carried out quickly, behind closed doors and the competition is mimed.

In Jurnalul Naţional we read "how to avoid the situation in 1954". Natural disasters are national disasters due to abusive deforestation . Damages are billions of Euros . Roads, railways and villages should be protected from forest curtains and forests. They were, however, cleared or relented.

Today we learn how much the Romanian economy recovered in 2011, highlights Ziarul Financiar . National Institute of Statistics announced the GDP in the last three months of last year. Estimated increase is of 2%, at half the previous quarter. Unfortunately, GDP growth has not felt in raising living standards. Important now it is that braking at the end not to continue in 2012 - one of the biggest challenges, while the Euro area slowed down and roads blocked by snow have caused huge losses.

"Chess to King," writes România Liberă : Prince Paul of Romania won at the Supreme Court. The process stake is a double one , the newspaper believes Paul can be considered the head of the Royal Family, the first born son and can claim a huge amount of wealth: historic buildings, land, art, such as royal l collection of 40 paintings signed by famous painters.

About the video scandal with Emil Boc , stripping in a locker, Evenimentul Zilei indignantly on the front page headline: "cesspool policy". The presidential Crin Antonescu, shocked by participating in a TV show, where he commented images "as a true voyeur", says Evenimentul Zilei.

Also. Adevărul deemed inappropriate his Intervention on TV: "Crin and Vadim, analysts at the bottom of Boc". The images have shocked not only for their personal character, of no public relevance , but also the fact the Liberal leader came to live in the glamorous show to comment. The presenter said he tried that feedback from all the leaders of the political scene. Only two accepted.
