After the Court’s verdict
The Foreign Office made a statement yesterday evening on the political situation in Romania.
Romania has had a long, hot summer. My hope (as an optimist) is that temperatures will fall in the autumn and that the focus will be on economic and institutional reform and strengthening the rule of law. There are important decisions ahead, under the IMF programme with Romania, for instance on the reform of state-owned enterprises. And on the rule of law, the executive, judiciary and parliament must press ahead with the actions recommended in the July CVM report. That is the best way to build Romania’s reputation with investors and other partners.
Your Excellency,
I hate to point out (what I believe to be) a mistake: “There are important decisionS ahead ….” (not just A “decision”) – but well, mistakes happen even in the best-run organisations!
Other than that, it’s truly refreshing to meet an optimist in today’s world (and especially in today’s Romania …)

Would this be the advice that Romania would give to UK if more than half of the British citizens will vote against a Prime Minister and he will still be in his function?
Mr. Harris, you know, and we know, this big anomaly is a consequence of a chain of other anomalies who have been tolerated and perpetrated for way too long. Carrying on the same, would not bring any good for romanians. It’ll only create favourable circumstances for exploiters of such abnormal environments. And this is not something you don’t know. It’s something you’re happy with.
Best,
Razvan
Hello Mr Harris,
I am just wondering how could I influence in any way our politicians to leave their dispute aside and concentrate on country’s economic and social problems…I mean how can we escape of this nightmare when the leaders are blind and they neglect the essential interest of the entire community in Romania for the mean interests they have…There must be a way to amend/protest against this weakness and lack of vision/patriotism these people prove…It’s not possible not to have a way to stop a few horribly selfish people(who, God knows by what merits arrived in power) to ruin the chances of an entire nation…
I refuse to believe that every population has the leaders they deserve, this is not true. I think the democracy should contain a mechanism of meritocracy put in place which should not allow people without genuine value to arrive in power. This could correct enormously the imperfection of democracy.
In case you can do anything to suggest this idea, you could help us very much. Otherwise, the powerful countries will always take profit of the precarious democracy application in newly created democracies(in the sense that weak economies provide them with intelligence and young work force leaving those countries, plus other resources of those countries) , but the unhappiness of so many people left at the discretion of low quality leaders comes back as negative energies which will affect everyone on the planet…it’s a natural low of compensation…
I hope I didn’t bother you with this text.
All my consideration,
Adriana Negruti
Thank you for your help and advise Your Excellency.
