The Romanian entrepreneurs making money from communism
The article discusses the concept of organized walking tours in Berlin and Munich that focus on locations significant to the history of Nazi Germany. The author suggests that this acceptance of historical tourism could pave the way for similar tours in Romania, which would cover the country's communist past. The idea is to promote a form of tourism that allows visitors to engage with and understand important historical periods, and the hope is that Romanians will become more receptive to the idea of communism tours.
Bucharest's Stray Dog Dilemma: Between Compassion and Public Safety
The article discusses the severe stray dog problem in Bucharest, Romania, where over 60,000 strays pose a threat to public safety, highlighted by the tragic death of four-year-old Ionut Anghel. Romanian President Traian Basescu has proposed euthanising the strays, a plan that has been met with both support and opposition. Rights groups advocate for sterilisation, a method that has been effective in other countries and Romanian cities. The issue has a complex history, dating back to the 1980s under Nicolae Ceausescu's regime, and is further complicated by allegations of corruption and embezzlement in funds allocated for controlling the stray population. The current mayor of Bucharest, Sorin Oprescu, has suggested a public referendum to decide on the matter. The article also touches on the emotional and political ramifications of the situation, with public sentiment leaning towards more drastic measures following the recent incident.
