Am văzut cap-coadă documentarul Recorder despre justiție. Cel mai simplu este să ne revoltăm, încă o dată, și să aruncăm vina generic. Mai greu este chiar să rezolvăm problemele din justiție.
În primul rând, felicitări realizatorilor, care aduc în dezbaterea publică, într-un mod accesibil publicului, probleme importante.
În al doilea rând, nu vreau să scuz în vreun fel politicul. Faptul că lupta anticorupție s-a redus dramatic are influență politică. Numirile procurorilor-șefi au fost politice. Societatea vorbește de mult de probleme în justiție fără să vedem, la nivelul Ministerului Justiției, voință de a intra cu adevărat în ele.
Dar soluția la problemele ridicate este tot în interiorul sistemului de justiție. Cazurile prezentate trebuie investigate și trebuie investigată mai ales recurența acestor cazuri. Iar persoanele vinovate trebuie pedepsite, însă tot de sistemul de justiție, și pe bază de probe. Pentru că materialul Recorder prezintă și fapte, care sunt clare, dar și opinii, care trebuie probate.
Cine strânge probele și cine face sesizările?
De ce nu avem încă un raport din interiorul sistemului de justiție, deși se vorbește de lucrurile astea de mult timp?
Câte sesizări s-au făcut din interiorul sistemului de justiție pe faptele de care vorbim?
Câte acțiuni în justiție s-au făcut pe faptele de care vorbim?
De ce sunt doar trei magistrați în activitate care au acceptat să vorbească deschis cu reporterii?
De ce nu a contracandidat-o nimeni pe Lia Savonea la conducerea Înaltei Curți?
Așa cum am spus, am început să lucrăm la un raport cu date despre problemele din sistemul de justiție. Discutăm cu magistrați. Îi invit pe toți magistrații să îmi scrie direct despre problemele pe care le întâmpină și îi asigur că voi citi personal ce îmi transmit.
Dar trebuie și o asumare în interiorul profesiei. Sunt convins că marea majoritate a magistraților sunt oameni serioși, de bună-credință.
E responsabilitatea lor, dincolo de dosarele curente, să se implice în rezolvarea problemelor profesiei lor. Și îi asigur, la rândul meu, de implicare și bună-credință pentru a aduce justiția acolo unde și-o doresc românii.
This is why Elon Musk’s X platform was fined by the EU. Elon refused to follow the regulations that every other platform has to adhere to in the EU. This is not a “free speech” issue.
A typical day for Russia, which, unfortunately, continues to avoid truly strong global pressure in response to prolonging the war.
At night, there was a series of brutal rocket artillery and aerial bomb strikes on Zaporizhzhia – against ordinary homes and city infrastructure. Sadly, the number of wounded increased during the day. There are fatalities. In the morning, Russia carried out another drone strike on a civilian logistics center in the Kyiv region. No military purpose whatsoever. A deliberate Russian strike against Ukrainian business.
During the day, a strike hit the center of Kharkiv, targeting university buildings. The National University of Pharmacy – for Russia, simply a target. Russian guided aerial bombs continue to rain down on communities in the Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk regions. FPV drone strikes continue in the Zaporizhzhia region. Kherson is under constant artillery shelling.
The only reason Russia can afford all this is because it does not feel pain. Until Russia feels truly significant losses – above all economic losses – it will continue to avoid genuine diplomacy and ending the war. It is crucial that the world respond to every strike. It is crucial that Europe, the United States, the G7, and the G20 do not grant Russia time – time for war. Strong sanctions are needed. Strong tariffs on Russian trade are needed. Strong protection of life is needed.
@mircea_ch@Rainmaker1973 The claim that China is demolishing buildings that could house over 75 million people to revive its real estate market appears true, based on reports. This is part of a strategy to manage oversupply and stabilize prices amid a property crisis, with around 3 billion square meters of housing paused or demolished. Examples include 15 high-rises demolished in Kunming in 2021. While the 75 million figure is an estimate, it's widely cited. Some question the efficiency and environmental impact, but the scale aligns with China's efforts to address vacant properties and developer debts.
In Turkey, a live news broadcast on one of the TV channels took an unexpected turn — by showing… kittens.
The newborns were actually born inside the newsroom, and now the staff is urgently looking for new owners.
Instead of the usual segment, viewers were treated to a fluffy gang in the studio — and judging by the reaction on social media, it turned out to be the best news of the day.
💔 I am just so FUCKING angry at the world right now, Kharkiv. Home to over 1.5 million Ukrainians is being turned to rubble and the FUCKING United States President's official response is "Well you gave him a reason to strike you."
No we didn't @realDonaldTrump.
Fuck you.
These children were killed by Russia – by its war. Boys and girls whose lives were cut short by Russian strikes and shelling, by hostilities that Ukraine never wanted for even a second – but from which we have been forced to defend ourselves for years already.
It is on June 4 that we honor the memory of all such children. Today, we still do not know the exact number of those killed, as we have no access to the temporarily occupied territories. It is yet to be determined how many adults and children killed by Russia are buried in mass graves near Mariupol and other cities and villages destroyed by Russia.
The world must neither forget nor forgive Russia for this terrible pain and aggression – this totally unprovoked and criminal Russian war against Ukraine.
In memory of every child killed, in memory of every human life destroyed, there must be real global solidarity – from all across Europe, all across the the U.S., and all other parts of the world – so that Russia is held accountable for its actions and is forced to return the peace it stole from Ukraine and Ukrainians.

Why I am voting for Nicusor Dan for president of Romania on May 19th:
I have been living in Bucharest for exactly 20 years, about the same time he has been an activist against corruption and illegal construction in the city.
Before he was elected Mayor in 2020, Bucharest was a corrupt cesspit that was falling apart. A series of mayors who did not care about improving people's lives and who turned city hall into a rubber stamp for real estate developers.
Dan, as the leader of the Save Bucharest association fought multiple administrations in an effort to preserve Bucharest's historical heritage... you know, like an actual patriot.
When he got elected mayor he inherited a city that was going bankrupt, public utility infrastructure that hadn't been updated since the 1960s in some cases, and a hostile city council.
In the 5 years he was there, he balanced the budget and started a massive update of public infrastructure.
He took the very unpopular but brave move of leaving some districts temporarily without utilities in order to update them ... replacing those pipes from the 60s
He cracked down on speculative and chaotic zoning plans that had led to overdevelopment and loss of green spaces. Initiated the development of a comprehensive General Urban Plan to guide sustainable city growth.
He drew on European funding to finance the city's improvement.
He also managed, as an independent, to work with a politically diverse city admin that tried to stifle him at first.
Bucharest today is cleaner, greener, more modern and better to spend time in as well as having what is left of its historical heritage protected.
The city is also safer that it was 20 years ago. You can walk anywhere day or night without fear of something happening to you.
In fact, the only time I was worried for my safety in Bucharest in over 10 years was a few months ago durring the russian backed pro-Georgescu rallies.
He will make a good president because of his commitment to transparency and fighting corruption, both as an activist and as mayor and because he wants a prosperous Romania that is a member of the EU.
And on the very simple fact that I will always vote for a professor of mathematics (Dan) over a literal fooball hooligan (Simiion)
6 mai 1990, Podul de Flori – ziua în care Prutul a unit, nu a despărțit.
Un moment simbolic care arată că, atunci când granițele dispar din inimă, România devine mai puternică. După 35 de ani, legătura cu Republica Moldova e vie, dar avem nevoie de proiecte și sprijin concret pentru o direcție europeană comună.
Mulți români din diaspora (Italia, Spania, Germania, Marea Britanie, America) simt dorul de țară, similar cu cel al celor din Basarabia. Îi înțeleg și doresc să construim poduri ale inimii, nu doar peste Prut, ci și între țară și românii din lume, ca nimeni să nu se simtă departe de casă.
Vreau o țară care să le ofere motive reale să se întoarcă: pentru Republica Moldova, pentru toți românii, pentru o Românie a faptelor, nu doar a vorbelor.
