"These are extra funds for this war, for suffering and, of course, against us. This only fuels Putin and gives him the opportunity to continue fighting." The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, described the US decision to allow Russia to export diesel as "a weak decision by strong partners." #DonaldTrump #motorina #Rusia (translated)

"We will start a domino effect that, at some point, cannot be stopped. Not only will the economic relaunch be delayed, but the entire economy will be affected. We may witness a national bankruptcy, because we believe that both investors and financial markets will react instantly to such a political decision and, ultimately, they will withdraw their money from Romania," Grindeanu stated. #PSD #alegerianticipate #economiaRomaniei (translated)

Patria Prima argued that a rule signed by ANRE on October 9 would allow energy suppliers, starting in 2027, to dismiss complaints if they believe they contain inappropriate language or do not sufficiently describe the situation. The author stated that the rule does not define these terms and leaves the decision to the discretion of the complained firm. As examples, Patria Prima mentioned clients who contest a much larger bill or do not know how to explain why it seems incorrect to them. In the author's opinion, their complaints could be dismissed without the supplier checking the issue. Patria Prima also said that ANRE applies a similar rule to itself from 2024, which would allow the institution to ignore complaints about suppliers. The author claimed that the provision did not appear in the draft submitted for public debate and was introduced in the final form without ANRE specifying who requested it and why. Patria Prima stated that it had filed a complaint with ANRE and requested the cancellation of the rule, and if it is not withdrawn within 30 days, it will go to court. It also urged the public to share the information. #energie #ANRE #facturi (translated)

Acosti argued that Călin Georgescu's opponents were afraid of him because, in his opinion, they could not conceive that someone could act out of conviction and patriotism, without seeking a position or reward. He stated that Georgescu selflessly loved his country and possessed qualities such as stature, eloquence, and soul. The author accused Georgescu's critics of confusing position and wealth with value and respect, mentioning cars like the BMW X6 and Range Rover. He argued that dignity and character could not be obtained through positions, company cars, or image campaigns, and that power belonged to the Romanian people. Acosti further stated that the opponents' fear stemmed from the comparison with Georgescu, whom he described as a respected man without invoking his position. In his view, his presence made the imperfections of the critics more visible, and they were afraid of what they lacked. #România #Patriotism #Dreptate (translated)

Jamesons stated that Meta reactivated its Instagram page after removing it in July, when it had more than 30,000 followers. According to the author, the company informed via email that the account did not violate Community Standards and could be used normally again. He said the page was deactivated for more than three months, including the entire first round of elections, and that the absence caused losses in reach, engagement, events, and content opportunities. Jamesons stated that he turned to the courts and that the process would continue, as the reactivation would not compensate for the damages. The author also alleged that Meta had been arbitrarily banning left-wing accounts while reducing their reach. He thanked those who followed the project during the period and asked for support to rebuild the page's presence on Instagram, with likes, comments, shares, and other interactions. #CulturaPop #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Justiça (translated)

Mickpl wrote that in less than three years, Wykop shrank from a portal with over 100,000 active users to a service that perhaps 800 people used, and its traffic resembled that of a local county portal. The author admitted that he regretted this change. He noted that the prevailing opinion of Wykop was as a place that was extremely unfriendly, but he did not fully agree with it. He described the site as a unique place where alongside an anecdote from an employee of a Norwegian laboratory about polymer synthesis, a post from Mariusz from Brighton could appear, who published a picture of his room after waking up from drinking. According to Mickpl, a similar community will not arise again in the Polish internet. He wrote that users grew up with the portal, took different paths, and later met there again, like a class reunion after years. He added that the rapid downfall of Wykop will be discussed in textbooks as an example of how not to manage a social media platform. #Wykop #społeczność #Internet (translated)

"The Parliament does not demand 'more money'; we request resources that correspond to the responsibilities imposed by the EU. This requires courage and a serious decision regarding the introduction of new sources of revenue by member states, based on all proposals on the table, in accordance with the basket approach to revenue. We are ready to work with the Council for a balanced outcome. However, member states must respect the will of the citizens, expressed through this Parliament, and the current negotiation framework does not provide an adequate basis for our discussions," said Carla Tavares (S&D, Portugal). #bugetUE #ParlamentulEuropean #reducerebugetară (translated)
