\nfamilies, but also to all Hebrew speakers who are interested in learning about
\nRomania. The show will be broadcast every Sunday, from 7:05 pm to 8 pm
\nRomania’s time, on short waves and via the internet. Also, contents in Hebrew

\nfrom the Diaspora to the Land of Israel, speak Hebrew and their ties with their
\nparents’ and grandparents’ birth country should be developed and maintained,
\nincluding with the help of RRI. <\/p>\n

\nrecognize the independence of Catalonia and the Spanish government is right in
\nits attempt to restore constitutional order in the region, said on Sunday the
\nEuropean Parliament President Antonio Tajani, Associated Press reports. He
\nstated that the independence referendum held in early October was illegal, also
\nstressing that the EU would not broker the conflict, as the crisis is a Spanish
\ndomestic issue. According to Tajani, Spain’s decision to organize early elections
\nin the region was the best. The Madrid Government has started to directly
\ngovern the province of Catalonia. The Catalan leaders and the heads of the
\npolice have been sacked. The Catalan police chief has stated he accepts his
\ndismissal and has urged his subordinates to show loyalty to the new chiefs. The
\nformer head of the Catalan Government Carles Puigdemont has urged the Catalans
\nto manifest a democratic and peaceful opposition to the measures enforced by
\nthe central government. We recall that Romania has reasserted its firm support
\nfor Spain’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and has firmly and
\nirrevocably rejected Catalonia’s unilateral declaration of independence.<\/p>\n
