Now the focus shifts to issues arising from the developed world, the "biggest culprits" in terms of debt, according to IMF director Kristalina Georgieva, but which may not remain limited there. Georgieva states that debt and energy, along with the AI boom that stimulates some economies but bypasses most, are the main themes of the week. #FMI #datorie #inflație (translated)

We need a government. In the formation of a majority, as long as we take into account both the position of the PSD and the position of the PNL leader, Mr. Bolojan, the decisive factors remain the settlements in UDMR and in the National Liberal Party, which, as I said, is a kind of "Gordian knot" of this situation. Live on Antena 3 CNN, the former president of PNL, Crin Antonescu, stated that this is the last chance for the Romanian political scene to form a pro-Western or pro-European government. #Politic #Guvernare #România (translated)

Bally Bagayoko explained that his group abstained during the vote on a wish presented by the opposition elected officials from the Socialist, Environmentalists, and Citizens group at the municipal council. The text focused on the protection of girls and women against excision and female genital mutilation, as well as the adoption of a comprehensive law against sexist and sexual violence (SSV). He said that his group supported the fight against mutilations and reminded that nearly 500 patients received follow-up each year in the municipality. He also praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations, and asked the State to strengthen the resources allocated for prevention and medical follow-up. According to Bally Bagayoko, the abstention concerned the request to quickly adopt the law on SSV. He indicated that the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly the week of the municipal council, and its content remained uncertain. His group had asked to remove references to this law from the wish in order to be able to vote in favor of the text on the fight against excision, but the opposition had refused, he wrote. He believed that this refusal had hindered the pursuit of an agreement and denounced a political instrumentalization of the issue. The group ultimately abstained in order not to block the wish, which was adopted, while not supporting all of its content, he noted. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesViolences (translated)
I am making a particular appeal to PNL and UDMR to demonstrate political maturity, to contribute to building a transparent majority if PSD's participation in the government or in this joint effort is desired. If we do not find ourselves in this economic project that we briefly announced and do not have a clear commitment from the other parties, PSD will not hesitate to say 'no' to this political endeavor. Normally, PSD should have been given the mandate to form a majority that invests a government, and we could have built a majority, if you will, around the idea of change, because 80% of Romanians are asking us for this change, and in the end, the parliamentarians cannot ignore this request. However, we have an appointment in the person of Mr. Niculescu. Therefore, my appeal is directed to the parties. They should let go of political egos and think more about the people, especially about the people who are watching us and waiting for solutions from us. The real confrontation should not take place on the political front between parties during this period,” declared Sorin Grindeanu. #Guvernare #LucaNiculescu #PoliticaRomână (translated)
