Bolojan seems to be kinder than usual: he's just left the door open for a PSD government. He still doesn't want to form a coalition with the "reds," but he can now imagine that under certain circumstances the PNL would vote to install a government, only to then remain outside it. Grindeanu shouldn't pop the champagne yet, since he hasn't received support with his name on it, but he can at least ha

RMDSZ is helping people recognize the very tricks it itself likes to use. Botond Csoma even puts a name to the matter when he introduces their brand-new campaign with these words:

G4Media published a selection of messages that Romania's citizens are sending to Nicușor Dan after today's failed prime-ministerial nomination. In this regard, Ugar Gesta checked whether Hungarian commenters in Romania had put on their steel-toed boots today as well. A sad comparison follows.

Rabies has been confirmed in two dead cattle in the area of Sântimbru (Csíkszenttamás), prompting the authorities to order epidemic-control measures. People who came into contact with the animals, including the veterinarian, have been referred for rabies vaccination and immunoglobulin treatment, said István Róbert, head of the Harghita County Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Directorate, G4Medi

It's rare for a former Romanian president to agree with Ugar Geszta, but we've lived to see it: according to Traian Băsescu, Nicușor Dan encouraged wavering members of parliament to reject the Mureșan government precisely by repeatedly ruling out early elections. The former head of state said on B1 TV's Wednesday evening program that those who had until then been worried about their parliamentary

On Cloudflare's network, traffic to websites is now more than half automated, and the number of daily requests from AI agents has grown by more than 1,700 percent over the past year. In its September 30 summary marking the company's sixteenth anniversary, Cloudflare described software that browses and performs tasks on people's behalf as the internet's "second audience." According to the company,

On September 30, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez publicly apologized to French President Emmanuel Macron after the Spanish Senate rejected the ratification of the friendship and cooperation treaty between the two countries the previous evening. At a joint press conference held at the Moncloa Palace in Madrid, Sánchez promised that parliament would approve the agreement before the end of the c

According to former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, 2026 could go down in history as a positive turning point in the fight against climate change, but for that to happen, the world would need to seize very quickly the opportunity presented by the spread of renewable energy, since the planet's warming keeps accelerating: this August was the hottest August since records began, and tied with July 2023 f

Donald Trump rejected Iran's seven-day ceasefire proposal and told his advisers that he could launch airstrikes against the Islamic Republic again after the November midterm elections – the Wall Street Journal reported, citing American officials.

Technology billionaire Peter Thiel called Pope Leo XIV a "useful idiot" of the Chinese Communist Party for the Catholic pontiff's calls for international regulation of the development and use of artificial intelligence. According to Thiel, such restrictions would primarily hold back the United States and its allies, while China would continue its own technological program unimpeded.

By August, battery electric cars already accounted for 29 percent of new car sales in Europe, compared with 20.2 percent a year earlier — meaning that within a single year the share of purely electric models on the continent grew by nearly nine percentage points. The calculation by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) covers the European Union, Norway and Iceland; in this group

Romania's National Cybersecurity Directorate (DNSC) is warning children and teenagers about an increasingly widespread online fraud method. The attack, known as ClickFix, is unusual in that the perpetrators do not hack into the victim's computer directly, but instead trick the user into running the malicious command on their own device.

Two studies published simultaneously may bring us closer to answering whether life could exist beneath the icy shell of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The research, published in the journal Science Advances, has of course not discovered any extraterrestrial organisms, but it has established far more than simply that "there is water there, so there could be life." One study shows that Enceladus's hidden

It is something of a minor miracle that the national minorities' group in the Romanian Chamber of Deputies does not want to support the investiture of the government led by Siegfried Mureșan. This group includes representatives of national minorities other than Hungarians, since the RMDSZ (Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania) has its own separate parliamentary faction.

As we have already reported on Ugaron, the Wall Street Journal published a lengthy article on the activities of US Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle in Greece. Donald Trump's son's former fiancée allegedly boasted to the Greek energy minister at a dinner in Athens in March, referring to the expected fall of Romania's Bolojan government, that the United States "can do this to any country," and that it

The joint standing committee of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate decided on Saturday that the joint session of Romania's two parliamentary chambers on the investiture of the government led by Siegfried Mureșan will be held on Wednesday, September 30, starting at 1 p.m.

The Americans wanted to sell expensive LNG to Romania, and the PSD energy minister pushed for the deal with the involvement of an intermediary, but Ilie Bolojan did not show sufficient enthusiasm. Afterwards, one of Donald Trump's closest political confidants boasted at a dinner in Athens about the Romanian government's imminent collapse. Two months later, Bolojan's cabinet did indeed fall, thanks

Our editorial staff have close ties to Hungarian football ultras who once led a fast-paced supporter life. The piece below is one of theirs, and we are publishing it unchanged. We add no commentary now, except this: Slava Ukraini!

Prime minister-designate Siegfried Mureșan submitted his government program and the list of his ministers to Parliament on Saturday, officially launching the parliamentary procedure for the cabinet's investiture. The ministerial candidates are expected to be heard by the specialized committees on Monday, and the confidence vote could take place on Tuesday. So the ministers are set, the program is

A Romanian government attempt is taking shape: PNL, USR and RMDSZ have divided the ministries among themselves, and prime-minister-designate Siegfried Mureșan will submit the government programme and his cabinet list to Parliament on Saturday. Hearings of the ministerial candidates are planned for Monday, and the day of real tension – if nothing upsets the schedule – will be Tuesday, when the legi
