AUR's leaders will take part in Monday's consultations on forming a government at Cotroceni Palace, but do not wish to discuss government positions, support a cabinet, or propose a candidate for prime minister, Dan Dungaciu, the far-right party's first vice president, announced. According to him, they are attending the meeting to remind President Nicușor Dan that he is the president of all Romania

According to documents from the Romanian Ministry of Labor presented by G4Media, the number of Romanians living in the main European destination countries may range between 4.37 million and 5.11 million, depending on the methodology used in the records. The difference arises because some data count only those actually registered as residents, while others include people with residency rights or th

The Harghita County Council and its bosom buddy, the Harghita County waste collection company, couldn't even manage to translate into Hungarian the contract that residents are made to sign. And yet - at least as far as we know - the overwhelming majority of Harghita County's population is Hungarian-speaking.

In northern Ethiopia, fighters allied with the federal government claimed on Friday that they had captured the town of Milazat, about twenty kilometers from Mekelle, the capital of Tigray, where residents say banks and shops have closed in preparation for approaching fighting. The situation has been further aggravated by Ethiopia's announcement on Thursday that it was closing Eritrea's embassy and

Trump has pulled it off: squeezed by the fuel market cracked open by the Iranian war and the looming American midterm elections, he has pressured his partners into tapping their strategic reserves. Emmanuel Macron announced on Friday that G7 countries will release up to one hundred million barrels of diesel and crude oil onto the market over four months, giving priority to diesel. The American pre

Ukraine could become an important hub for the European distribution of American liquefied natural gas, writes Stephen Blank, senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, in an analysis published on the website of the Atlantic Council. According to the author, the country's underground gas storage capacity of more than 30 billion cubic meters could serve both for seasonal stockpiling of

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has asked Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, for more flexible application of the EU's fiscal rules. In a letter sent on October 1, she argued that the energy crisis is driving inflation higher than expected, increasing state spending and narrowing the room available to support households and businesses.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Representative Gregory Meeks, the senior Democrats on the two foreign affairs committees of the US Congress, have requested an investigation into the activities of Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US ambassador to Greece, from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The two lawmakers sent separate letters to Rubio seeking clarification of the potential conflicts of interest uncovered by

Milos Kerkez and his father also ended up on the Myrotvorets database, which collects Ukraine's "enemies" and lists them as provocateurs accused of supporting Russian aggression. The listing itself is up to the website's editors, but the story that led to it wasn't invented by the database's editors: the Hungarian national team player supplied the footage on the pitch, and his father added the Rus

Norway is ready to keep its gas deliveries to Europe at a high level even during the peak winter period, announced Gassco, the operator of Norway's gas network, on October 1. According to the company, the planned maintenance work has been completed and the transport system is operating properly, so it is well prepared for the demand that rises along with the colder months. The reassuring announcem

Such an investigation could well be carried out in Romania too, because the constitutional court here is, to put it mildly, hardly the kind of institution that makes one immediately think of political impartiality and spotless public trust. In Poland, prosecutors are now investigating whether the president of the constitutional court improperly selected the panels of judges ruling on individual ca

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday demanded that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his UN delegation leave immediately after talks broke down, the AP reported, citing two American officials. The negotiations were supposed to cover the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, ending the war and Iran's nuclear program—if the story had a sequel, but it doesn't.

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
