According to her the two magistrates do not meet the conditions to be appointed in the position of CCR judges, namely at least 18 years in the legal service or in the legal higher education. In the case of one of the judges, a CCR ruling last year established that his appointment was constitutional and the CCR decisions cannot be cancelled in courts. The case of the second judge is more complicated for he had served as a professor with the Law School only for three years and four months. The Presidential Administration representative who proposed him has also called for the rejection of the application of the AUR lawyer as she exceeded the deadline for tabling it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOUR<\/strong> Romania kicked off a promotion tour through the world capitals, consisting of screenings and cultural events staged by the British writer and producer, Charlie Ottley, with support from the government structures in Bucharest. Screenings of the documentary \u201cFlavours of Romania\u201d in countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Chile, Peru, Columbia and the United Kingdom are being followed by Q&amp;A sessions with the view to presenting Romania\u2019s beauty and diversity to an international audience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAIRS <\/strong>In 2026 Romania will be promoted in some of the world\u2019s most important Travel Fairs after the Ministry of Economy, Digitization, Entrepreneurship and Tourism has approved a list with the exhibitions and fairs Romania will be attending. The list includes major fairs in target-markets with high potential and major impact upon tourist inflows. Among these are the fairs in Chisinau, Berlin, Paris, Frankfurt, Shanghai, Dubai, Warsaw, Rimini, London and Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FCSB <\/strong>Romania\u2019s football champions, FCSB, drew their home game against Turkish side Fenerbahce, one-all on Thursday night, a match counting towards the last leg of Europa League. The Romanian eleven will thus be leaving the competition in which it managed only two wins and one draw in eight games. FCSB had managed to qualify in the elimination phase of the present edition of Europa League.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RATE<\/strong> Romania\u2019s unemployment rate was around 6% in December 2025, the same as in November, data released by the National Statistics Institute say. Out of the 494 thousand registered by the National Agency for Employment, two thirds are part of the 25-74 age bracket, which has an unemployment rate of 4.6%, under the country average. Roughly 27% of the young people with ages up to 24 years do not have a job. The unemployment rate in Bucharest has continued its downward trend reaching 0.47%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WEATHER <\/strong>The weather is getting cooler in most of the Romanian territory, under an overcast sky and with precipitations expected in isolated areas, in the mountains and in the country\u2019s east. Showers have been forecast for the western, southern and south-eastern regions. The highs of the day are ranging between &#8211; 1 and 10 degrees Centigrade with a noon reading in Bucharest of 6 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>(bill)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COURT The Court of Appeal in Bucharest is expected to rule today on an application tabled by an AUR lawyer, from the Parliament opposition, on the suspension of two Constitutional Court judges.
