Liviu Dragnea, president of the main ruling political force, the Social-Democratic Party (PSD) has recently announced that the Finance Ministry is running research over the effects of such measures envisaged in the ruling programme. In another development, the biggest opposition party, the National Liberal Party, has pointed out to the fact that the fresh fiscal measures or the artificially raised minimum salaries can affect private companies in Romania as well as the country\u2019s economic development.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HODGES<\/strong> The commander of the US troops in Europe, lieutenant general Ben Hodges, has hailed the efforts Romania is making in an attempt to modernize its armed forces. Hodges, who participated in Saber Guardian 17, a multinational exercise held in Cincu, central Romania, has said that Romania is a trustworthy ally committed to modernizing its armed forces. He has recalled Bucharest\u2019s pledge to invest 2% of the country\u2019s GDP in defence this year, and referred to the training quality of the young soldiers and their commanders and their commitment to contributing to security in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VACCINE<\/strong> The Healthcare Ministry in Bucharest is to commence a warning campaign against the consequences of not vaccinating children. The number of measles cases confirmed in Romania has exceeded 8 thousands; most of them reported in the country\u2019s west and southwest. We recall that 31 people have so far been killed by the disease in this country. On Monday Radio Romania is also to commence an information campaign over the risks of leaving children unvaccinated, the side effects, the reasons for which some parents don\u2019t want to immunize their children and the need for fresh legislation on vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong style=line-height: 1.6em;>MEDAL<\/strong> Romanian rowers Leonid Carp and Victor Mihalachi on Sunday reaped silver in the 500 meter double canoe race of the European Championships held in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. This is the first medal for the Romanian delegation. The Romanians were outperformed by Russia, while a crew from Ukraine ended on the third position.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>EFFORTS<\/strong> The Ministry for The Romanians All Over the World is making efforts to bring back the Romanians living abroad, field minister Andreea Pastarnac has said. According to her, Start-up Diaspora, a special programme mainly targeting the second or third generations of Romanian immigrants was launched 10 days ago alongside a scholarship project by the Romanian Education Ministry aimed at allowing students from abroad to chose from several education packages offered by Romanian universities. Minister Pastarnac spoke in Sulina, southeastern Romania, at a meeting during the ARC 2017 Camp programme destined for the Romanian ethnics living abroad. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here for a roundup of domestic and international news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":75903,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[32303,32301,31328,32302],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-102101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsflash","tag-ben-hodges","tag-leonid-carp","tag-the-social-democratic-party","tag-victor-mihalachi"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
