    March 29, 2021

    PROTESTS A new batch of Pfizer/BioNTech has today arrived in Romania, where the
    national vaccination rollout programme is in full swing. 2 million people have
    so far got the vaccine and half of them the booster dose. Out of the 21 thousand
    tests carried out in the past 24 hours, over 4 thousand were positive,
    authorities announced on Sunday. Another 117 fatalities were also reported on
    Sunday when new restrictions aimed at keeping the pandemic at bay came into
    effect. Under these new restrictions, in regions with an infection rate above 4
    per thousand, have been imposed a night curfew over the weekend, applying from
    20 hours, two hours earlier than in the rest of the week. Shops must close at
    18 hours at weekend and in regions with an infection rate above 7.5 per
    thousand the curfew is applicable the entire week. The newly adopted measures
    have sparked off protests in Romania’s big cities, where thousands took to the
    streets chanting anti-government slogans.






    MOTION A simple motion against Romanian Agriculture Minister
    Adrian Oros is due to be debated upon today in the Chamber of Deputies in
    Bucharest. The opposition PSD, who tabled it, is blaming the minister for
    having failed to take the right measures to offer compensations to the farmers
    affected by the drought, and that the fuel excise has not been paid for. This
    is the worst period for the Romanian agriculture heavily affected by the
    drought and the pandemic and also by the minister’s incompetence, the Social
    Democrats said. After debates the document is to be voted upon on Wednesday.
    This is the third simple motion tabled by the opposition PSD in the present
    Parliament season. The other two, tabled against the ministers of Health and
    Economy have not been endorsed by the Legislature.






    TALKS Trade union representatives and leaders of Metrorex, the
    company, which operates the Bucharest underground, are to resume talks today after the
    unofficial protest, which blocked the underground all day long on Friday. High
    on the agenda is a proposal by the company’s board to cut the 18% pay rise by
    the end of the year in order to fit into the present budget. Another issue on
    the agenda is that of the shopping areas on Metrorex premises, as the company
    running them, which belongs to the trade union, had to evacuate these places until
    April 2nd. According to Transport Minister Catalin Drula, the Friday’s
    protest failed to comply with the regulations presently in force aimed at
    preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus, forcing citizens to resort to
    overcrowded public transportation vehicles, putting their health at risk in a time
    when the infection rate is high. The Minister has also filed a criminal
    complaint against the protesters accusing them for undermining the government’s
    efforts to fight the pandemic, abuse of office and for jeopardizing the
    travelers’ health. In turn trade union leaders say the unofficial protest on
    Friday was sparked off by the board’s intention to apply pay cuts; they also
    blaming the board for its lack of interest in a constructive dialogue.






    FOOTBALL Romania’s national football side lost to Germany 1-0 in
    Bucharest on Sunday in a match counting towards the Group J of the World Cup

    Romania’s group also includes Iceland and Lichtenstein. The first sides in the
    groups are qualified for the final tournaments, whereas runner-ups will be
    playing tie games. Romania last participated in a World Cup in France in 1998.
    On Saturday night Romania’s under-21 representative secured a 2-1 win against
    Hungary in Budapest in Group A of the European Under-21 Championship 2021. They
    also secured a one-all draw against the Dutch representative on Wednesday.

    competition’s group stage is taking place over March 24th and 31st
