Russian Officials Mention Romania as Main Weapon Supplier to Ukraine

Romania is listed as one of the major arms suppliers to the Ukrainian Armed Forces by General Valeri Gerasimov, the Chief of Staff of the Russian Army. This occurred during a Smotrim.ru -broadcast briefing in front of the foreign military attachés in Moscow.

He identified the key arms suppliers to Ukraine during the event. The United States, Poland, and the United Kingdom were called supply leaders.

The Russian Red Army Chief of Staff also stated that his nation had information on the quantity of weaponry supplied to Ukraine.

In total, since the beginning of the special military operation, the Western countries have sent four planes, more than 30 helicopters, more than 350 tanks, about 1,000 combat vehicles, 5,000 combat unmanned aerial vehicles, at least 800 armored vehicles and up to 700 artillery systems to Kyiv.

Red Army Chief of Staff Valeri Gerasimov on the total quantity of weapons sent to Ukraine

Unlike the United States, Great Britain, or even Poland, Romania hasn’t openly acknowledged that it has been supplying Ukraine with weaponry. But if not the primary supply, reports have suggested that it serves as a central crossing point for Western weapons into the area of combat. Interestingly, the Ukrainian counterparts in Bucharest or Kyiv have frequently congratulated Romania for delivering weaponry to support the Ukrainian army, despite Romanian officials keeping it a secret.

Compared to what it was under the communist government, Romania’s defence sector is now relatively modest. 15 weapon and ammunition facilities and plants are managed by the state-owned defence corporation Romarm, and they all contribute to the arsenal of defences in Romania. They include assault weapons, rockets, light and heavy ammo, and armoured transports. According to Gerasimov, there is a significant probability that Romania has supplied these weapons to Ukraine.

Romania Boycotts Austria

Romania Boycotts Austria

Following the referendum on Schengen accession on December 8, Romania began to boycott Austria. Romania was again excluded from the free economic zone since Austria was the only nation to oppose it, as was expected.

As mentioned by Vlahia News, politicians, businesspeople, owners of football clubs, and significant agricultural organizations in Romania demanded a boycott of Austria and its products. Meantime, Romania removed its ambassador from Vienna, but the political conflict had just begun. Austria was officially forewarned by some politicians to anticipate Romanian opposition to its European interests. Also, the Universitatea Craiova football club announced they wouldn’t fuel in Austrian gas stations, and one museum cancelled the exhibition of an Austrian artist.

Additionally, governments and influential people advise Romanians to avoid taking winter vacations in Austria because there are a variety of alternative ski resorts available. There were protests in front of the Austrian Embassy in Bucharest, and there is unrest in the nation that suggests more of the same will likely occur.

The widespread boycott of Austrian companies has begun in Romania. Numerous social media posts these days encourage or demonstrate how to boycott Austrian products. Romanians immediately realized that stopping their fuel purchases from OMV, the Austrian oil company, was the simplest way to protest the arbitrary decision to reject Romania’s membership in Schengen. Romanians are now driving to local brands like Rompetrol rather than OMV gas outlets.

The banking and finance industry is an additional target. Romanians are urged to remove all of their funds from Raiffeisen Bank and BCR- Erste Bank, close their accounts there, and go to the Romanian CEC Bank because these banks are on the list. Both Austrian banks released very uninspiring press releases and shared them on social media, but it didn’t seem to make a difference.

The insurance industry is also a battleground for those who disagree with Austria’s decision; calls for a boycott of UNIQA or Vienna Insurance Group are being made, and consumers are being urged to switch to other insurance providers.

On the list is also a notorious business: The usual suspect for stealing wood from Romanian forests is Holzindustrie Schweighofer, now operating under the name HS Timber Productions. Additionally, the Austrian company was being investigated for allegedly using wood from illegal logging; however, as is customary in Romania when it comes to foreign businesses, this investigation was never completed.

Additionally, items like coffee and natural juice are now mentioned: Julius Meinl, Red Bull, and even Pfanner are just a few of the Austrian brands for which they call for a boycott.

One nation whose population is not well known for engaging in such boycotts or protests against Western businesses or decisions is Romania. Romania is a flourishing market for Western businesses, particularly Austrian ones that generate billions in profits annually. However, this may signal the start of a revolution that would awaken the Romanian people and teach them how to defend their rights.

Women Empowerment in Romania

Women Empowerment in Romania

While the European Union promotes women empowerment through gender equality, as it believes that diversity should be encouraged and men and women should have equal opportunities, Romania is a state that makes no exception to the rule. Inspired by the European way of thinking, this country strongly believes that women are brave, beautiful and powerful and that they ought to have the same opportunities to grow as men do.

Women Empowerment in Romania – Challenges

That is not to say that Romania didn’t face its fair share of challenges regarding this issue. After the collapse of communism in Romania, new issues that had never been addressed before emerged, one of them being the issue of gender equality. After it adhered to the European Union, a set of measures meant to promote the rights of women were passed, but it was never easy. One of them was the dissolution in 2010 of the National Agency for Equal Opportunities between Women and Men, following the financial crisis that hit the country. During this time, an increase was noticed in the rate of unemployment for women of about 1.8 per cent, while the rate of unemployment for men was only 1.2 per cent.
It hasn’t been the only difficulty women empowerment in Romania has had to face. However, in the present, thanks to the efforts made by the European Union, women benefit of way more opportunities to grow than they did before communism fell.

Women Empowerment in Romania – Claret Credit Romania case study

Women empowerment in Romania is encouraged by a way of thinking that strongly believes that creativity and homogeneity are the most important ingredients in a team. Homogeneity and creativity are key ingredients in a team’s success. This is because all members work together in the same direction. The same goes for creativity. It will make it easier to complete tasks and solve problems faster.
It is common to hear about the gender gap in the workplace. Many women don’t hold high-ranking leadership positions within companies in some countries. This is not uncommon, but the Romanian companies have many women who have built successful businesses and helped many people who were looking for quick financing solutions. These companies consider women to be a fundamental pillar of their businesses. One of the examples of this fact is the way Claret functions as an institution.
The women of Claret have been able to bring a positive change to the company, through their professional way of dealing with any problem, showing patience, calmness and professionalism. They handle all situations encountered calmly, managing to create a relationship based on trust with any client. They are the ones who interact with customers, trying to understand the reasons why they turn to an IFN and give them the best advice in order to choose a loan. The women of Claret empathize with those who come to ask for financial help from the company’s IFN and put themselves in their situation to be able to offer them the ideal solution in order to overcome the obstacles caused by the lack of money.

At Claret, the position of CEO also brings with it many responsibilities. As a woman, it is sometimes difficult to make your presence felt in a male-dominated world of business, but the determination I have shown has helped me advance and occupy this important position within this IFN. The team is made up of many strong and courageous women who show professionalism every day. The ability to work under pressure is vital for this leadership position, but I am a confident woman who can handle any difficult situation.

– Laura Leanca, CLARET general director (CEO)

With their well-defined vision, their spirit, their creativity and the ease with which they carry out their tasks, the women of Claret manage to create a work environment conducive to performance. In addition, the presence of strong and determined women in the company’s collective will always be an asset that Claret will have in front of any competitors.


Romanians Believe They Live Worse than Under Communism – New Opinion Poll

Romanians Believe They Live Worse than Under Communism – New Opinion Poll

Romanians believe their quality of life has declined since the communist era. This is the unexpected outcome of a survey conducted by the INSCOP research institution.

The findings were released one month before the symbolic „Romanian Revolution” anniversary of December 1989.

57% of Romanians feel their quality of life has declined since the communist era

The research is a component of the „Romania Agenda 2050” initiative, which aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the nation’s future course. Universities, other thinking groups, and research organizations are some of the project’s collaborators,  including Bucharest University and „Babes Bolyai” University of Cluj.

What’s more alarming is that the poll, done in May–June and September–October at two distinct times, reveals that Romanians believe the country’s condition is worsening. Only 54% of those surveyed in May believed that conditions were better under communism than they were now, however, by September, this percentage had risen to 57%.

Currently, 57% of the populace believes that the nation is worse off than before the so-called „Romanian Revolution” of 1989, when Nicolae Ceausescu, the Secretary General of the Romanian Communist Party, was detained and murdered.

Romania appeared different 33 years after that incident, but Romanians had bigger aspirations than that.

”Those of the mature generation are disappointed by the gap between their expectations in 1989 and what has happened. On the other hand, there are young people who don’t know much about what was before 1989, about what society was like. For example, no one thinks that almost everything was deprived from Romanians in 1989, no freedom of movement, standard of living extremely low, No basic things, such as permanent access to electricity, fuel or food”

Marin Preda, Bucharest University rector

Does anybody ponder why Romanians are unsatisfied with their lives now?

How history keeps repeating itself is amusing because political bodies don’t offer the transparency needed by the poeple to trust and support its vision and actions. In 1989, Romanians struggled to get food and endured harsh living conditions in their dwellings since neither the heating nor the power was continuously on. The communist government conserved money to pay off the foreign debt, and as a result, Romania eventually became one of the few nations without an external debt.

On the other hand, Romanians in 2022 enjoy plenty of food, whilst inflation is eroding their buying power. Since the heating system failed in numerous cities, including Bucharest, some apartments are still unheated. Mayors come and go, making empty promises to improve the situation. Although there are very few technical shortages and energy is always on, as winter nears, Romanians are worried about their electrical costs.

Is communism a superior system to democracy? Although we have our doubts, it is certain that once communism crumbled in Romania, expectations were great and have not yet been satisfied. From this viewpoint, the present energy crisis, the proximity of the war in Ukraine, and the way other members of the „European family” approach Romania will not be encouraging.

After More Than 100 Years, Clujana Factory Stops Business Activity

After More Than 100 Years, Clujana Factory Stops Business Activity

The Clujana Company has pulled the plug on its operation after 111 years on the market. The business started out as a factory in Cluj in 1911 and eventually grew to become one of the national symbols companies of Romania. Clujana was the  largest leather and shoe manufacturing factory in the country.

Given that the business has previously been just one step away from collapse, the chances don’t look good for it. The Cluj County Council is the owner of the plant, and it also holds 93,4412% of Clujana’s shares.

The company went bankrupt, but for the previous 30 years, the county institution has been unable to identify the best options for its rehabilitation. It has a detrimental affect. The current market in Romania provides the best conditions for international businesses and investors, but it is not the same environment for domestic businesses. One such instance is the Clujana plant, a historically significant factory with 100% Romanian capital that is on the verge of failure.

ValahiaNews offers us some insight on the Cluj County Council public statements.

“We are not the factory owners. During that privatization, I received some shares of Clujana from Fondul Proprietatea in custody. We are not majority shareholders, we are practically not owners, the State as a whole is a shareholder. Basically, the State through the Ministry of public Finance is a shareholder, we only have the right own the buildings, the factory itself remained a private one, it functioned according to the rules of the market economy”.

Alin Tise, President of Cluj County Council

Any assertions that it had to do with individual real estate interests in the structure and surrounding land of the Clujana plant were rejected by him. In addition, he opposed the factory’s privatization, arguing that only the name of the business could be purchased because the Cluj County Council owned the land, the building, and all other tangible assets.

The situation is gloomy and the reasons for the company’s inactivity have not yet been fully revealed, but there is still hope for the company’s revival if the necessary improvements, investments, and downsizing are made in accordance with the current financial challenges, debt, and the industry’s activity situation.

Romanian Parliament New Entry ”try-out” by Fratelli D’Italia by 2024

Romanian Parliament New Entry ”try-out” by Fratelli D’Italia by 2024

Giorgia Meloni is the leader of the right-wing, national-conservative political party in Italy known as Fratelli d’Italia. Previously,  in 2020, she was also elected president of the European Conservatives and Reformists Party (ECRP), formerly known as the Alliance of Conservatives and Reformists in Europe (AECR/ACRE). She is anticipated to become Italy’s first female prime minister after her party wins the most votes in the general election in Italy in 2022.

Fratelli d’Italia: History

The crucial underlying elements of the rise of the Fratelli d’Italia (FDL) Party don’t end at this point. The People of Freedom Party (PDL), led by Silvio Berlusconi, was created in 1995 by the hardline National Alliance, from which Giorgia Meloni and the other party leaders emerged. The FDL party, which is currently one of the most right-wing-led since 1945 and symbolized by a tricolour flame, was created due to a right-wing split within the PDL party.

Fratelli d’Italia in Romania: Starting conversations with the parties in the Romanian Parliament

In terms of right-wing politics, FDL is not only gaining support in Italy but is also beginning to spread to other European countries. Pasquale Elicona took his duty seriously and hopes to be elected to the Romanian Parliament in 2024 as president of the FDL affiliate in the Romanian Government, as reported by Defapt.ro . AUR, the Romanian nationalists, who are now exceeding 25% popularity and voting intention in Romania, is one of the Romanian Parties considered for potential assistance or cooperation.

Underlying scope of FDL

Elicona is a successful businessman and the director of numerous recruitment firms that send Italian workers to Romania outside of his political obligations and ties. By gathering votes from the Italians scattered around the nation and intending to support and give a voice to the minorities and especially the Italian community, his objective is to increase the party’s participation in all county and municipal elections in Romania.

Source: Defapt.ro

With many subconscious nationalist trends in the current parties, the Romanian parliament is rather hospitable to right-wing politics. Eduard Hellvig, the head of Romania’s secret services, has made several announcements about various references to such right-leaning mentalities:

”The demand for nationalism in Romania is great”

President of the Romanian Secret Services

FDL from a wider European perspective

Right-wing politics are present and steadily gaining appeal outside of Romania. There are nations like France, Hungary, and Sweden where right-wing parties are founded and have already begun negotiations with the EU, regardless of the sort of nationalism.

FDL vs EU sentiments

The European Union is entering a condition of preparedness and restlessness due to these political occurrences and shifts because it is unclear what political philosophies the nationalist parties would follow. This is because prior events demonstrated that right-wing and nationalist political parties, like Meloni’s FDL, frequently oppose EU legislation and raise objections to its rules and regulations.

The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has not yet publicly commented on the current developments. She just added:

”If the relationship deteriorated, the EU had resources to handle crises of this nature”

Ursula von der Leyen

This can only imply that Italy will be subject to the same sanctions as the other nations who have previously contested the EU. The political landscape is evolving globally, and the EU is ready to handle any eventuality.

Will Italy leave the European Union? No one can predict which country will remain in the EU because the national political landscape is shifting, and Euro-skeptics are gaining power.

Romania Celebrated a Centenary of History Since the Coronation of King Ferdinand and Queen Mary.

Romania Celebrated a Centenary of History Since the Coronation of King Ferdinand and Queen Mary.

The event was held last Saturday, October 15th, in Alba Iulia. This brought a lot of passion to the celebration by commemorating the time and location of the inauguration 100 years earlier. The unification and emancipation of the Romanian Nation under the rule and coronation of the King and the Queen are signified on the date of 15th of October 1922.

History of the Great Union symbolized by:

After the First World War ended in 1918, the nation benefited from the Great Union of Romania. The coronation solidified the nation’s unity and the prospect of a prosperous future with plenty of resources. This was mainly brought on by the post-belic environment, during which the nation experienced serious social issues.

Major beneficial developments also began to occur, including the population’s doubling, the country’s top ranking for raw materials like wood and gasoline, and the encouragement of the industrial revolution, which led to the growth of regional and family-owned businesses.

Significant changes weren’t limited to Romania, as anticipated. Every other state was dealing with new difficulties and figuring out how to handle them while thriving. This resulted in the infamous „Paris peace treaty” meeting, which served as the ideal pre-coronation event because it helped the inauguration gain recognition and appeal on a global scale. On December 1st, 1918, a national holiday honouring the Great Union was established in this manner.

How come Alba Iulia?

The location was picked for two main symbolic reasons. The Turza Plain, the most well-known battleground, where some of the fiercest battles were fought and some of the bravest kings lost their lives, was an hour away.

The Cathedral of the Great Union, a remarkable cathedral, was also constructed as part of the preparations for the coronation. For all the elaborate planning and significance, the cathedral was actually relatively small and took months to complete. Even so, it developed into a global endeavour, including well-known and reputable engineers, painters, builders, and many others in the conception and execution of both the Cathedral and the coronation.

Saturday’s centennial celebration:

There has been a „bath” of people celebrating the historic day at the 100-year event as Stiripesurse.ro tells us.. The Prince Consort, Princess Sofia, the Patriarch, and the Custodian of the Crown reportedly were present to watch the military parade on the renowned Mihai Viteazul pedestrian avenue. Along with the Mihai Viteazul Guard Brigade and the Alba Iulia military students, soldiers marched wearing the dress and insignia of the Romanian Royal Army from 1920.

Following the march, the Patriarch, the President of the Alba County Council, and the Custodian of the Crown unveiled the magnificent marble monument of Queen Mary in the impressive city plaza of the Citadel. This was a very emotional time for Romanians because they had adored and admired the queen throughout generations. 

The Royal Train completed a symbolic celebratory tour between Cluj-Napoca and Alba Iulia simultaneously with all of the festivities, referring to the moment the Queen and the King arrived at the royal train station on the day of the coronation 100 years ago.
