National Press Review March 28

“The departures rolling from the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL) starts”, foresees ROMÂNIA LIBERĂ.

After Sorin Frunzăverde’s departure, one of the party founders, the journalists ask if “this is not the end of PDL”.

With him might leave the party also tens of mayors and parliamentarians; implicitly an important number of votes. Who will also leave the PDL adrift Ship?

Referring to the reasons of this departure, EVENIMENTUL ZILEI writes: “The Police statute, Frunzăverde’s fear”.

In a statement made in November 2010, he declared that Romania was risking becoming a police state.

Yesterday he repeated the statement, in the respect that the country has become this meanwhile.

EVENIMENTUL speculates that Frunzăverde might be involved in “Bribe for Moldomin” and brings as argument the telephonic interceptions from the file made by the National Anti-Corruption Department (DNA).

The same subject is also in JURNALUL NAŢIONAL: “PDL remains without Sorin Frunzăverde”.

In the daily is repeated the same declaration made in 2010, in which he stated that we will found the reason of his departure.

In that moment, Frunzăverde was requesting for the beginning of a politic dialogue with the opposition which could allow the formation of a government with a larger parliamentarian majority and the decentralization of the state budget.

“From Deputy Statute directly in prison”, writes ADEVĂRUL about the Deputy Virgil Pop, definitively sentenced with imprisonment for corruption, while he was exercising his public function.

Vice versa, in 2008, he entered the Parliament, although he was preventively arrested.

From ADEVĂRUL we found about a “new electoral martyr”: “Dan Diaconescu, stopped too late”.

The half-life of OTV license sanction, given yesterday by the National Audio-visual Council (CNA), paves Diaconescu his way to Parliament.

He could victimize and launch his formation within the Parliament.

“All in all, Diaconescu starts to become himself an Elodia: when he does not exist, exists even more” –the opinion of a media analyst that we found within the pages of the daily.

“Water, the poor’ richness. Chevron fights with people from Bârlad for water resources necessarily to slate gas exploitation”, we read in JURNALUL NAŢIONAL.

The energetic colossus Chevron comes to invest in the poorest region of Europe, but people from Vaslui doesn’t want to take advantage from the investment with the price of clean water from their glass.

“How does bankruptcy enters the house? Attention at bills!”, warns EVENIMENTUL ZILEI.

Although it seems hard to believe, the electricity and heat bills are the first cause due to which Romanians accumulate debts even bigger from one month to another.

“The advocates are stoned that the post-privatization obligations at Cupru Min are missing”, we read in BURSA.

The state cannot oblige the new shareholder neither to make investments, nor to continue the activity in order to develop it.

The advocates consulted by the daily says that that interdiction does not exist from the European Committee to impose conditions, invoked by the authorities.

In addition, they draw attention on the fact that the winner firm is a kind of “investment boutique” especially created for Cupru Min auction and that the state cannot have the guarantee that will receive money.
