The coalition seeks to avoid isolating Romania at global level, to uphold a sustainable pace of economic growth and to safeguard the country\u2019s European track, the absorption of EU funds, implement reforms stipulated in the Recovery and Resilience mechanism and ensure Romania\u2019s accession to Schengen and the OECD. The exact structure of the cabinet will be decided after Sunday\u2019s second round of the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOCUMENTS<\/strong> \u2013 The Prosecutor General\u2019s office announced it would investigate the documents presented by secret services at the meeting of the country\u2019s Supreme Defense Council, to ascertain whether there is sound legal basis to start a criminal investigation targeting C\u0103lin Georgescu, an independent candidate enrolled in the presidential race. According to documents declassified by president Klaus Iohannis, a state actor coordinated the activity of TikTok accounts, which boosted C\u0103lin Georgescu\u2019s standing in global trends on TikTok, ahead of the first round of the presidential election. Tens of thousands of Russian cyber-attacks targeted the Permanent Electoral Authority, including on election night, intelligence services say. An independent candidate criticized for his pro-Russian, extremist views, C\u0103lin Georgescu will face pro-European candidate Elena Lasconi of USR in the presidential runoff slated for December 8.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CRIME<\/strong> \u2013 Anti-crime prosecutors (DIICOT) have arrested a 34-year-old Columbian, suspected of planning various subversive actions. In July, the suspect devised a plan to destroy objectives of national security importance, prosecutors say. The Columbian national was reportedly radicalized by a Russian citizen. Investigators also say that the man had been trained to collect intelligence in his home country, and had taken pictures of the objectives he was planning to attack.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MOLDOVA<\/strong> \u2013 The Moldovan government could call a state of emergency in connection to the energy crisis, the line minister Victor Parlicov said, as the Russian provider Gazprom could cut gas supplies. Prime Minister Dorin Recean said he would announce a number of measures meant to ensure energy security on Thursday, adding that gas prices will not go up over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>FRANCE<\/strong> \u2013 Michel Barnier\u2019s Cabinet, sworn in in September at the end of a tough negotiation, has collapsed in the wake of a no-confidence vote called by the opposition in connection to next year\u2019s budget. The far right and the alliance of left-wing parties all voted to oust Barnier. Sources close to Emmanuel Macron say the president will announce a new Prime Minister over the next 24h. The future head of government will need to stabilize financial markets on the short term, to prove France has a leadership, and to vote the state budget for 2025. At the end of Wednesday\u2019s Parliament sitting, the French left-wing alliance persistently called on the president of the Republic to entrust them with forming a government. In turn, the far right warned it would block any and all actions of a leftist cabinet. Given the current structure of the National Assembly, none of the three main political groups can secure absolute majority to form a government by itself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HANDBALL<\/strong> \u2013 Romania tonight takes on France, the Olympic vice-champions, at the European Handball Championship hosted by Austria, Hungary and Switzerland, in its first match in the main group phase.
