The number of new cases of Covid-19 registered in&#13;<br \/>\none day is on the rise in Romania, with 4004 registered on Wednesday, in some&#13;<br \/>\n44,000 tests. 83 related deaths were also reported, as well as 696 patients in&#13;<br \/>\nintensive care. New outbreaks are also reported across the country. Authorities&#13;<br \/>\nhave started to put in place additional protection measures in those places&#13;<br \/>\nwhere the incidence of 2 cases per one thousand inhabitants has been exceeded.&#13;<br \/>\nOn the other hand, the vaccination pace remains low, despite repeated calls&#13;<br \/>\nmade by specialists. The Delta variant, which is starting to become dominant, is&#13;<br \/>\nspreading more rapidly than the previous ones. Authorities expect the number of&#13;<br \/>\ninfected people to keep growing.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Electricity.<\/strong> The Romanian state will compensate electricity bills for about&#13;<br \/>\n13 million people who have a monthly consumption between 30 kWh and 200 kWh,&#13;<br \/>\nEnergy Minister Virgil Popescu announced on Wednesday. He stressed that the&#13;<br \/>\nmeasure would not benefit those falling under the Law on Vulnerable Consumers, which&#13;<br \/>\nmeans about half a million households, who would receive financial aid from the&#13;<br \/>\ngovernment to cover part of their bills. Popescu also stated that he was not a&#13;<br \/>\nsupporter of capping prices, after, previously, Prime Minister Florin C\u00ee\u0163u had&#13;<br \/>\nsaid that the option was being considered. Price capping means discouraging&#13;<br \/>\ninvestors from coming to Romania to produce energy and extract gas, the&#13;<br \/>\nminister said. Minister Virgil Popescu has also stated that the energy market&#13;<br \/>\nis ready for winter, and Romania will not run out of gas, as rumored recently in&#13;<br \/>\nthe public space.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Motion.<\/strong> The Romanian Constitutional Court is to announce when it will&#13;<br \/>\ndebate the notification filed by the Liberal Prime Minister Florin C\u00ee\u0163u&#13;<br \/>\nregarding the existence of a legal conflict between Parliament and Government with&#13;<br \/>\nregard to the no-confidence motion tabled by USR-PLUS (former number two in the&#13;<br \/>\ngoverning coalition) and AUR (nationalist, in the opposition). A deadline was set&#13;<br \/>\nfor Wednesday for the parties to submit their views to the Court. In the view&#13;<br \/>\nof the Permanent Bureaus of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, in the case&#13;<br \/>\nof the no-confidence motion there is a conflict of a constitutional nature. However,&#13;<br \/>\nthe President of the Senate, Anca Dragu (USR-PLUS), and the Speaker of the&#13;<br \/>\nChamber of Deputies, Ludovic Orban (PNL), do not agree with this point of view so&#13;<br \/>\nthey sent separate documents to the Court. Ms. Dragu claims there is a&#13;<br \/>\npolitical conflict that the Government wants to turn into a constitutional one.&#13;<br \/>\nThe predominantly Liberal executive claims that the no-confidence motion did&#13;<br \/>\nnot have the minimum number of valid signatures and that the Speaker of the&#13;<br \/>\nChamber of Deputies did not inform the Government about the document on the&#13;<br \/>\nsame day it was tabled. AUR demanded that the debate and vote on the motion be&#13;<br \/>\nincluded on Parliament&#8217;s agenda and announced that it would go on parliamentary&#13;<br \/>\nstrike until a timetable was set. Entitled Dismissal of the C\u00ee\u0163u Government,&#13;<br \/>\nRomania&#8217;s only chance to live!, the motion of no-confidence accuses the prime&#13;<br \/>\nminister of plunging Romania into a serious economic and social crisis. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Internet.<\/strong> Romania has dropped three places in a global ranking of&#13;<br \/>\ncountries with the fastest fixed internet, based on over one billion speed&#13;<br \/>\ntests. Romania reached the 29th place in the global hierarchy, down from the&#13;<br \/>\n26th position occupied last year. On the other hand, Romania climbed to the second&#13;<br \/>\nplace in the regional ranking based on the speed of fixed internet services,&#13;<br \/>\nbeing overtaken only by neighboring Hungary<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Football. <\/strong>The Romanian football champion, CFR Cluj (northwest), plays,&#13;<br \/>\ntomorrow night, away from home, its first match in Group D of the Conference&#13;<br \/>\nLeague, against FK Jablonec, of the Czech Republic. CFR Cluj, the only&#13;<br \/>\nrepresentative of Romania in the European competitions, is the championship&#13;<br \/>\nleader and has won the last 4 titles. FK Jablonec ranked 3rd in the Czech&#13;<br \/>\nchampionship last season. In the other Group D match, the Danish team Randers&#13;<br \/>\nFC receives the visit of the Dutch team AZ Alkmaar.
