State of alert.<\/strong> The state of alert declared by the Romanian authorities
\non 15th May comes to an end on Monday, but the government says it
\nplans to extend it, with a decision in this respect to be taken at the next
\ngovernment meeting. Prime minister Ludovic Orban has reiterated that this is
\nnot a political move, but founded on expert opinion, given the high risk of a
\nsecond wave of the coronavirus pandemic. The extension to the state of alert
\nmust be approved by Parliament, but the opposition say they are no longer going
\nto vote in favour. According to the interim president of the Social Democratic
\nParty Marcel Ciolacu, there should be an intermediate stage instead lasting no
\nmore than 15 days. Official figures show that 275 new infections were reported
\nin Romania over the last 24 hours, with 171 people still in intensive care. 1,394
\nof the around 21,700 people who contracted the virus have died. Among the
\nRomanian communities abroad, some 3,400 people had the virus and 114 have died. \n<\/p>\n

Coronavirus
\nworld.<\/strong> Around the globe, coronavirus cases pass 7.6 million and the death toll
\nreaches 425,000. The US is the hardest hit, with over 2 million infections,
\nfollowed by Brazil with 800,000. In Europe, the number of
\nnew cases is decreasing. Some European countries are further easing
\nrestrictions beginning on Monday. Germany says it will eliminate border checks
\nwith its neighbours, and France may also open its borders, with president
\nMacron expected to make an announcement to this effect. Italy opened its
\nborders on 3rd June. Spain has postponed opening borders until 3rd
\nJuly. Greece is preparing to receive
\nforeign tourists beginning on Monday for the first time since the lockdown was
\nintroduced in March.<\/p>\n

Economy.<\/strong> The National Bank of Romania has warned that the Romanian
\neconomy may shrink significantly in the second quarter of the year owing to the
\nshutdown of many economic sectors and lower domestic and external consumption
\nas a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Many Romanian businesses and even
\nentire sectors had to interrupt their activity overnight, with transport,
\ntourism, the hospitality industry, recreational activities, industry and trade
\nbeing the hardest hit. Economic demand grew considerably in the first quarter
\nof the year but the labour market saw a sudden drop in March, its effects being
\nsomewhat alleviated by the government’s furlough scheme, says a National Bank report.
\nThe number of budgeted employment contracts has increased, however, recently,
\nand the trend may continue as the furlough scheme comes to an end. According to
\nthe National Bank, the annual inflation rate will stay at over 3% this year,
\neven after a clear drop in the second quarter. <\/p>\n

Miner riots.<\/strong> Prime minister Ludovic Orban on Saturday called on
\nmagistrates to shed light into and find out the truth about the miners’ raids
\nof 13th to 15th June 1990, a case which is yet to be
\nsolved. The prime minister said in a statement that the then communist regime
\nled by Ion Iliescu, who had just won the presidential elections, first resorted
\nto the security forces and then to miners to trample the dignity of young
\npeople, intellectuals, people with strong anti-communist convictions. The
\nminers’ raids of 13th to 15th June put an end to a massive
\nprotest against the leftist government that had come to power after the fall of
\nthe communist dictatorship in December 1989. Violent clashes took place on 13th
\nJune between security forces and protesters. A group of miners from Jiu Valley,
\nin the centre-west, arrived in Bucharest on the following day, using force
\nagainst protesters and passers-by and causing damage to the headquarters of
\nhistorical parties and faculties and other buildings. Six people were killed at
\nthe time, almost 1,000 injured and several hundred detained illegally. Some of
\nthe people who were in office at the time, such as president Ion Iliescu, prime
\nminister Petre Roman and deputy prime minister Gelu Voican Voiculescu and the
\nthen director of the Romanian Intelligence Service Virgil Magureanu are accused
\nof crimes against humanity as part a court case into the riots. In May last year, the High Court of Cassation and Justice returned the
\ncase to the Prosecutor’s Office to redo the investigation, having ruled that
\nthe case put together by the military prosecutors was nonlegal. In 2014, the
\nEuropean Court of Human Rights ruled that Romania must continue investigations
\ninto the miners’ raids of 1990. (CM)<\/p>\n
