Under the Sign of the Pandemic

In 2021 Romania
was for the second year affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Facing wave after
wave of an epidemic caused by the dreadful virus, the Romanians had no choice
but to comply with the restriction measures imposed by the authorities, which
displeased with a vaccine rollout that didn't go as planned, made decisions
that mainly affected the rights and liberties of those who refused the vaccine.
The low infection rate in summer was followed by another outbreak in autumn
with an increased number of infections and related fatalities. The fourth wave
took a heavy toll on the lives of the Romanians and according to statistics,
the most difficult period since the onset of the pandemic in Romania was
registered in mid-October when ICUs were overwhelmed and Bucharest had to ask
for international assistance. 2021 was also the year of hospital fires, which
killed scores of the infected patients. The first incident took place in Piatra
Neamt, north-eastern Romania in 2020, and was followed by others in Bucharest
and Constanta the following year. The dark situation prompted the Romanian
president, Klaus Iohannis, to make the famous statement that 'the state failed
in its fundamental mission of protecting its citizens'. Luckily the situation
improved towards the end of 2021 putting Romania in the green tier, a unique
case in Europe.

Political crises

In this year of
medical crisis, Romania had no less than four Health Ministers - two from the USR,
one from UDMR and a PSD representative who started his mandate in late
November. The political unrest kicked off in April upon the then Prime Minister
Florin Citu's decision to sack the USR Health Minister Vlad Voiculescu. On
September 1st, Justice Minister Stelian Ion was also dismissed and
the political crisis that followed lasted for three months. An enraged USR left
the ruling coalition and in October endorsed a censure motion initiated by the
Social-Democratic opposition. Two attempts to forge a minority cabinet failed
and the Romanian politicians resorted to a third alternative no one forecast.
Following intense negotiations, two political enemies PNL and PSD decided to
shake hands and work together with the UDMR part of an Executive headed by the
retired army general, Liberal Nicolae Ciuca. Florin Citu headed the Senate and
the National Liberal Party, the presidency of which he won in September against
the former PNL leader Ludovic Orban, who eventually left the party and decided
to forge a new political formation. The USR also held its own elections won by
the former European commissioner Dacian Ciolos.

A Standard of Living going down

Skyrocketing
energy prices were felt all over Europe with Romania bearing the brunt. The
situation worsened after the liberalization of energy market on January 1st.
After a chaos of almost half a year, the Romanians and the market apparently
calmed down. Sadly, in summer energy prices went through the roof again and the
government had to issue an emergency ordinance to cap energy prices for
households and cover part of the costs through the state budget. The latest price
hikes reignited inflation, which in October went up to 7.9% although employees
hadn't seen a pay rise in years. The Romanian economy is expected to register a
7% growth in 2021 after a contraction of 3.7% caused by the pandemic in 2020. Salvation
could come from the National Plan of Recovery and Resilience approved by
Brussels in autumn, under which Romania would get up to 29 million euros in
investment until 2026.

Romanian
culture at home and abroad

During the 25th
edition of the George Enescu International Festival, in September classical
music lovers from Romania were delighted by the performances of 3.500 artists
from their country and from abroad. During the prestigious event, 32 orchestras
from 14 countries performed on stages in Bucharest and other big cities across
the country.

2021 was also an
important year for the Romanian cinematography! Director Radu Jude's film 'Bad
Luck Banging or Loony Porn' reaped the Golden Bear award at the International
Film Festival in Berlin while Alexander Nanau's documentary Colectiv got
Oscar nominations for the best international feature film and best documentary
feature.

2021- Not a good year for Romanian
athletes

The National
Arena in Bucharest hosted four matches, three of group C and one in the round
of sixteen of the European Football Championship, a competition for which the
Romanian national squad had failed to qualify. And to add insult to injury, athletes
from Romania managed to walk away only with four medals from the 32nd
edition of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, coming only 46th in a nation
ranking.

The world's best
epee fencer Ana Maria Popescu announced her withdrawal from competitions after a
prestigious activity of two decades. Famous tennis player Horia Tecau also
withdrew from competitions in 2021 and so did world-reputed gymnasts Marian
Dragulescu and Larisa Iordache.

Those who left us ...

Let's not forget
those who left us in 2021! Actors Ion Dichiseanu and Ion Caramitru - the
director of the National Theatre in Bucharest and chair of Romania's Theatre
Union, writer Ileana Vulpescu; multiple kayak-canoe champion Ivan Patzaichin,
historian Dan Berindei; director and leading figure of Radio Romania, Dan
Puican; folk singer Doru Stănculescu and Victor Socaciu as well as the
appreciated traditional music singer Benone Sinulescu.

Attention-grabbing
in 2021 was, among other things, the retirement of several top-flight Romanian athletes.
Among them, fencer Ana-Maria Popescu, tennis player Horia

For the fifth time
running, in 2021 Ana-Maria Popescu has been designated the world's best epee
fencer. According to the final rankings, Ana-Maria Popescu was again at the top
of the table. In the last confrontation of her career, in early December, Ana Maria
Popescu came in 2nd at the MK Fencing Academy International Epee
Cup, a World Cup stage event held in Dubai. Ana-Maria Popescu made her

Maria first compelled recognition when she stepped onto the third step of the
podium at the World Seniors Championships held in 2002 in Lisbon. Ana-Maria was only 18 back then. All hopes were
pinned on the then up-and-coming Romanian fencer ahead of the Athens Olympics
in 2004. However, she unassumingly cane in 16th. Ana-Maria Popescu's
stunning comeback occurred at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, when she walked
away with silver, at that time the Romanian delegation's best performance at
the Olympics in China. However, 2016 was the year when Ana-Maria Popescu's
career best happened; at the Rio Olympics, the Romanian won gold with the epee
national team. Ana-Maria Popescu then went on to win silver in the women's
singles as part of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Tennis player Horia
Tecau is Romania's best men's doubles tennis player. For the seventh time running,
in 2021 Tecau advanced to the Champions Tournament, jointly with the German Kevin

defeats. Horia Tecau announcement his retirement shortly afterwards. At the previous
editions of the Champions Tournament, Tecau twice competed alongside Sweden's Robert
Lindstedt. Horia Tecau also paired up with the Dutch Jean-Julien Rojer four
times. Tecau and Rojer emerged as winners of the tournament in 2015.

Horia Tecau was
born on January 19, 1985 in Brasov. In 2002, pairing up with Florin Mergea, Tecau
won the Wimbledon men's doubles juniors' title. From July 2008, Horia Tecau had
been placed among the world's top 100 doubles tennis players. Since November 2009,
Horia Tecau has been placed among the world's top 50 tennis players. And that's all from Sports today. You can also

according to the world's men's doubles rankings, reaching as far as the
runner-up position in November 2015. Tecau won 38 men's doubles ATP tournaments
and played 24 finals. Pairing up with the Dutch Jean-Julien Rojer, Tecau twice
won Grand Slam tournaments, in Wimbledon, in 2015 and the US Open, in 2017. In
2012, Horia Tecau won the mixed doubles version of the Australian Open jointly
with Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the US. At the Rio Olympics in 2016, pairing up
with Florin Mergea, Tecau walked away with silver. Horia Tecau has been a full-time
member of Romania's Davis Cup team since 2003.

The best Romanian gymnast
in recent years, Larisa Iordache put an end to her career in 2021. Larisa was
born on June 19, 1996, in Bucharest. Her debut in major seniors' competitions
occurred in 2012, when in the singles and the teams' competitions she won gold in
the floor event and silver in the beam event, as part of the European Championship
in Brussels. In the nations' competition in 2012 at the London Olympics, Larisa
Iordache won bronze. At the European Championship in Moscow in 2013, Larisa won
gold in the beam event and stepped onto the second step of the podium in the
all-around, floor and vault events. At the World Championship in Antwerp, also
in 2013, Larisa Iordache won bronze in the floor event. In 2014, Larisa

event and the nations' competition. She also won silver in the beam event and
bronze in the vault event. Then Larisa Iordache won silver in the Nanning World
Championship in the all-around and floor events. In 2015, Larisa Iordache won
bronze in the all-around event as part of the World Championship in Glasgow. 2016
was rather uneventful for Larisa because of an injury. In 2017 she resumed
participation in competitions and won bronze in the beam event as part of the European
Championship held in Cluj. Yet Larisa Iordache's stunning comeback occurred in December
2020; at the European Championship in Turkey's Mersin she won gold in the beam
and floor events and two silver medals in the all-around vault event and,
respectively, in the nations' competition. At the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 Larisa
Iordache qualified to the beam final with the fourth-best score. However, Larisa
was unable to compete in the final because of a health condition.

18, 1980, in Bucharest Marian Drăgulescu retired from competition in 2021, at
the age of 41. He has the most impressive record among Romanian men gymnasts. Marian

Marian Dragulescu won 18 medals, of which ten gold, six silver and two bronze
medals. Dragulescu was designated the Best Athlete of the year in 2005 and 2009.
