National Press Review, November 29

Both the Jurnalul Naţional and the România Liberă emphasize the same idea, word by word: "The Moldovans - divided between East and West".

Yesterday, citizens in the Republic of Moldova voted the structure of a new Parliament and implicitly, the new political tendency that the country will opt for: either for East and Moscow or for the West represented by the European Union and Romania.

The Evenimentul Zilei outlines that yesterday, in the Republic of Moldova, a high number of ballots was casted.

The daily believes that the legislative election will be an answer for the following question: "How strong could the Pro-European Alliance be?"

The Gândul publishes a brief article inspired by the Moscow press.

The daily Izvestia blames Romania for "unscrupulously poking its nose" in the elections that took place in the Republic of Moldova.

The daily Gândul goes on and quotes the Izvestia: yesterday's elections could have led to "a bloodshed" taking into account the following scenery: pro-Romanian authorities are about to start riots and break out violence on streets if Communists or Russians win the elections.

Yesterday evening, the Adevărul was the last newspaper to conclude its edition and as a consequence it was the only newspaper in Bucharest that published the exit-polls results after the ballot boxes were closed, according to which "in the Republic of Moldova, the Alliance subdues the Communists."

There are other topics covered in today's press. We go on with the Adevărul: "fake car parts are fatally dangerous". Fake parts are cheaper but worse. For instance, a car with fake brake pads stops on a two times longer distance than a car with original break pads.

Spare parts are made in China, Taiwan and Turkey. After being brought to Romania there are enough people who sell them, enough people who buy them and consequently there are plenty of people who die on our roads…

The România Liberă begins with a question: "Have you ever thought about how much pornography does a child see in public spaces?" Well, a lot, the daily answers.

Because, in Romania, all the kiosks are authorized to sell pornographic magazines mixed with publications for children. A psychologist interviewed by the România Liberă asserts that streets invaded by pornographic items distort a children"s conscience.

As a result there are many youngsters that face behavioural disorders.

It goes without saying that slcohol and drugs consumption are the next steps, which, for many, prove to be irreversible...
