The fourth day. Protests by transporters and farmers continue. New negotiations, Saturday at the Government
Protests by transporters and farmers in Romania continue for the fourth day, driven by tax increases and rising costs. Despite some demands being met, such as the postponement of loan payments, other issues remain unresolved, leading to ongoing demonstrations. Negotiations with various government ministries are scheduled, but initial talks with Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu have not alleviated the situation. The protests have seen significant participation, including attempts to block access to Bucharest, and have drawn political figures like George Simion and Diana Șoșoacă, who have been accused of instigating further actions.

In Romania, Students See Parallels Between Today and the Pre-Holocaust Era
Romania has introduced a mandatory high school course on the Holocaust and Romanian Jewish history, aiming to confront its past and educate students about the country's role in World War II atrocities. The course, supported by most political parties except the far-right AUR, seeks to counter antisemitism and extreme narratives. Students at Iasi National College are learning about the Holocaust's impact, with the course seen as a significant step in reconciliation. Challenges include a lack of finalized textbooks and teacher training. The initiative is part of a broader effort to address historical denialism and promote critical thinking among future generations.

Trump's health pick RFK Jr might visit Romania to meet 'TikTok Messiah' candidate
Romania's far-right nationalist presidential candidate Călin Georgescu announced that Robert F Kennedy Jr might visit Bucharest to promote his book, which Georgescu prefaced. Georgescu, known for his ultra-religious and controversial statements, recently won the first round of presidential elections, raising concerns about electoral interference via TikTok. Romanian authorities are urging the European Commission to investigate TikTok's influence. Meanwhile, a recount of the first-round votes is underway due to fraud allegations. Georgescu, despite his anti-system stance, has longstanding ties to Romania's political establishment and has expressed pro-Russian sentiments. His campaign has been marked by radical, anti-European views and conspiracy theories.

Romania’s Pro-Ukraine Policy in Focus as Elections Near
Romania's upcoming presidential elections are pivotal, with the focus on which candidate will face Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu in the runoff. Nationalist George Simion, supported by Ciolacu, is a strong contender, raising concerns about Romania's pro-European stance. Simion's AUR party, known for its far-right views, could challenge Romania's EU and NATO commitments. Other candidates, like Elena Lasconi and Nicolae Ciuca, face challenges in uniting pro-European votes.
