Motion. <\/strong>The two-chamber Parliament
\nin Bucharest on Tuesday evening rejected a no-confidence motion initiated by the
\nSocial Democratic Party in opposition against the ruling coalition formed by
\nthe National Liberal Party, the Save Romania Union-PLUS Alliance and the
\nDemocratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians in Romania. 202 MPs voted on the motion,
\nof whom 201 in favour and 1 against, but 234 votes were needed for the motion
\nto pass, namely half plus one of all senators and deputies. More on this latest
\ndevelopment later in the newsreel. <\/p>\n

Ombudsman. <\/strong>Renate
\nWeber will resume her post as Ombudsman after the Constitutional Court accepted
\na complaint from the Social Democratic opposition and unanimously ruled that
\nher dismissal by the parliamentary majority is unconstitutional. The Court
\nissued a statement saying Weber will go back to her job as soon as the Court’s
\nruling is published in the Official Gazette. The Court explained that her
\ndismissal is in breach of the rule of law and the principle of the legality and
\nsupremacy of the Constitution and of certain provisions of the law regulating
\nthe institution of Ombudsman. When they dismissed her, the MPs from the
\nparliamentary majority accused Weber of violating the Constitution and acting
\nmore like an advocate for the Social Democratic Party. In response, the
\nopposition said her sacking was a form of public execution. <\/p>\n

Recovery. <\/strong>Austerity did not lead to
\nbetter results after the economic crisis of 2008 and neither is it a solution
\nto overcome the current challenges generated by the pandemic, said president
\nKlaus Iohannis after meeting EU ambassadors accredited to Bucharest on Tuesday.
\nWe will overcome this crisis by spending money, by investing it in
\ninfrastructure, in the real economy, the president also said. He expressed
\nconfidence that after the summer holidays, Romania will receive a positive
\nreply from the European Commission with respect to its National Recovery and
\nResilience Plan. <\/p>\n

Forecast.<\/strong> The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has raised
\nits forecast for Romania’s economic growth in 2021 to 6% from 3% in its
\nprevious estimate from last September, the bank says in a report published on Tuesday.
\nIt also says Romania weathered the Covid-19 crisis better than initially expected,
\nwith the GDP falling by 3.9% in 2020. Overall, private consumption saw the
\nsteepest drop in 2020, at 4.9%, while resilient investments and improved net
\nexports had a positive contribution to growth. In the last two quarters, the
\neconomy grew at a robust pace, as containment measures had limited impact on
\neconomic activity, the bank also notes. It estimates that the Recovery and
\nResilience Facility will give a significant impetus to investments in 2022,
\nwhile private consumption and higher net exports are expected to fuel an economic
\ngrowth rate of 5%. <\/p>\n

Pogrom.<\/strong> Romanian
\nParliament will meet in a special session on Wednesday to commemorate the
\nvictims of the Pogrom of June 28-30 1941, in Ia\u015fi, in north-eastern Romania,
\nwhen over 13 thousand Romanian Jews were killed. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Romanian president Klaus Iohannis
\nsaid that hatred, violence and contempt for human dignity were but some of the
\ninstruments used by the pro-Nazi authorities of the day to carry out a
\ndiabolical plan, namely cleansing Ia\u015fi of its Jewish population. The city’s
\nJews were forcefully removed from their homes, separated from their loved ones,
\nsavagely abused and then carted off on death trains or killed by machine guns. The
\nRomanian president said remembering the suffering of those days and
\ncommemorating the victims is the only form of moral retribution today’s and
\ntomorrow’s generations must pay to the victims of those events. The Romanian
\npresident warned that rising denialism, hate speech, the attempts to distort history,
\npopulism and anti-Semitism are ever more present in the public realm and they take dangerous roots
\non the fertile ground of ignorance. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pandemic. <\/strong>The
\nRomanian authorities are making the final preparations for the introduction on
\nJuly 1st of the Green COVID-19 Certificate, which is to facilitate travel between
\nEU countries during the pandemic. Those who wish to travel to other EU countries
\ncan download this document on the first day of July. In the meantime, the
\nRomanian authorities are looking for new ways to step up the vaccine rollout,
\nincluding a mobile team to bring the vaccine to the country’s rural areas. 73
\nnew infections were announced on Tuesday and 500 infected patients are being
\ntreated in hospitals around the country, including 80 in intensive care. (CM)<\/p>\n
