@Romanistan1971@alemannoEU 167 days, Sorin Grindeanu (pushed a midnight executive order that legalised corruption under 200k Euro to clear his party of corruption charges), he is also the leader that left the coalition and crashed the gouverment today. Shortest was Mihai RΔzvan Ungureanu with 79 days.
@USNA_73@JeffFisch Right now i think the estimated value in 2023 was 15 Billion Euros. So if it was sold it was also most likely sold during soviet times, the bandit years of the 90s and after the war. I agree with you that it was a stupid idea, most desperate ideas are
@USNA_73@JeffFisch As such it was seen as a critical send for keeping at the in-laws house. The reserves were 120 tonnes, out of which 93.4 tons of hold (91 tons gold coins, rest ingots). Rest were art, jewelry or exhibits of antiques. Some were return in 3 transfers, but most of it remained.
@swooshclick@Daractenus But also the lifestyle, today an electrical and telecommunications blackout is the unusual not the normal. Also, the needs of the population are completely different, no one wants to go back to the emerging economy manufacturing if we have tasted the service based one life
@swooshclick@Daractenus The insane 35k apartments, the problem is the math doesn't even catch up on the materials, manhours pay, land, and construction code. It goes to absolute shit if you start adding the electrical, water, educational, medical, traffic sewage, and trash infrastructure to support it
@swooshclick@Daractenus Sorry about the 1956 thing. I was trying to reference the industrial and technological levels. As we we got back to factory and make things manualy or with rudimentary tooling instead of today precise and automated tools (Cnc machines)
@swooshclick@Daractenus The country is not milk and honey. What can the truckers, construction crew, and elder assistant bring home? Houses to build? With what money? Build factories and industry back, again with money? Or we just get a warehouse and start doing things like it's 1956 again?
@swooshclick@Daractenus I await to see how many will come back and resettle in Romania if he wins. Drop the houses or apartments they bought, drop the future of their children living there, and move them to a foreign country.
What can the unintegrated diaspora from Italy, Germany and Spain bring home?
@RupChristo43249@bucharestlife Yep, you got it. The entire romanian voting system is always resorted to voting for the least evil candidate, with some exceptions(Nicusor Dan). The establishment is voted by the party machine to keep their people on cosy public jobs, "yes he stole, but also done some good things
@RupChristo43249@bucharestlife Kleptocrats will be pro-European or anti-euro when it suits them, and they have to be flexible to steal. For example, Mr. Ponta started as a reformer and ideal future social democrat leader and stayed a pro-eu. Became eurosceptic when eu was critical of him. Became trumpist now
@RupChristo43249@bucharestlife Pro-Serbian vote would have been a Ponta one. He has dual citizenship and close relationships with Vucic and connected corrupt businessman Ghita there. Also he went to admit to flooding romanian villages to save Belgrade from flooding, also of the cover-up of this event.
@GItalios@bucharestlife This caused a split Pro European electorate but a formed and structured sovereignty front. But now it has to change. it's a survival vote, moderate vs. extremist. Nicusor will have an hard but not impossible fight ahead of him, one that i think only him is capable of winning
@GItalios@bucharestlife One thing it was pretty painful was that nobody had learned everything from the shock of the november election. The rulling coalition supported a reheated soup, Lasconi clang to the power with a rigor mortis, even when she was doing more harm than good, and her own party left her
@GItalios@bucharestlife George Simion's party stance than to her own party. Intellectually and morally, Dan is superior to Lasconi, who, since the cancellation of the last election, could not have done more harm to her own campaign even if she tried. Every time she opened her mouth, it was a disaster.
