Major meetings in Bucharest

In the context of the war on Romania's border, President Klaus Iohannis continued this week his series of meetings with Western leaders, as well as presidents from neighboring countries.  He reiterated the urgent need to strengthen the entire NATO eastern flank, in the context of this security situation, which the head of state deemed to be very worrying:
“We urgently need the substantial and balanced consolidation of the entire eastern flank, with forward, unitary, and bolstered presence. Which is why Romania acts to continue to increase allied military presence in our country.”

Present in Bucharest, Estonian President Alar Karis said that Estonia and Romania are working together towards common goals in the defense of Europe, and that it is necessary to reduce reliance on Russian energy sources. At the same time, Estonia continues to support sanctions against Russia. After meeting the Romanian head of state, Spanish PM Pedro Sanches underlined that the EU must act quickly against rising prices for gas and electricity, and that the governments in Madrid and Bucharest should work together for urgent measures.

Iohannis also spoke in Bucharest with Bulgarian President Rumen Radev about the grave situation generated by Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, as well as about diversifying energy sources and transport routes. The same topics were tackled in talks with Italian Foreign Minister Luigi di Maio. Together they expressed support for passing new sanctions in order to maintain pressure on Russia. Luigi di Maio appreciated the way in which Romania is managing this difficult situation, thanking the country for its solidarity and the support it provides refugees.

During the meetings in Bucharest, Klaus Iohannis pointed out that the neighboring Republic of Moldova needs support from the EU to be able to handle the influx of refugees. Moreover, during his Wednesday trip to Chisinau, he reiterated Romania's full support for settling politically the Transdnestr situation, with respect for Moldova's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, without hurdles in its pro-European aspirations. Moldovan President Maia Sandu said that she needed support from the partners to overcome the challenges brought about by the war in Ukraine. At the same time, she said she appreciated the prompt decision made by the Romanian authorities to open a green corridor for the transfer of refugees going to the EU straight from the Moldova- Ukraine border.

Meantime, tens of thousands of refugees are arriving at the border between Ukraine and Romania, mostly transiting west. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion in the neighboring country, the border was crossed by about half a million Ukrainians.

 

The authorities are making efforts to support the economy and the population

In the context of the war on Romania's border, and the speculations that it gave way to, the authorities are discussing the measures needed to support the economy and the population against rising prices for energy, fuel, and food. Agriculture Minister Adrian Chesnoiu assured everyone that there was no risk of a food crisis, or of major imbalances to this effect, and added that Romania may even have the capacity to export. Minister Chesnoiu told Radio Romania that the pandemic and the rising energy and gas prices have affected the entire economy, not just farming:

“In terms of stocks, Romania is safe. First of all, we have enough food and grain in the state reserves, so that a crisis does not emerge before the new harvest. Major quantities of wheat and sunflower oil are in the stores of farmers and processors, as well as in storage with grain traders, and this will cover our consumption needs until the new harvest.”
On the governing coalition agenda this week there was eliminating VAT for foodstuffs, setting a ceiling on energy prices, and reducing fuel excises. The executive announced it would prolong by another year the measures to support the population, including said ceiling on energy and gas prices.

 

Rising in COVID cases in Romania

After the state of alert was lifted on March 9, no restriction against COVID is in effect anymore, and no rule is being imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Infections are on the rise after more than a month of an descending trend. Thousands of cases have been recorded per 24 hours. The authorities announced that the same situation has been noted in other European countries too, after the lifting of restrictions, but without a significant increase in the number of grave cases or deaths associated with the virus. The number of patients in hospitals is going down to half compared to the first part of the month, but a few hundred people are still in the ICU, diagnosed with COVID-19, while the number of deaths is a few dozens.

 

 

Inflation is on the rise

Considering that prices have been going up for the last month  in Romania for all types of foodstuffs, non-food items, and services, the annual rate of inflation went up to over 8.5 percent, according to the National Institute of Statistics. The experts say that the effects of inflation will be felt by the population in terms of income, as well as by the economy at large, which continues to be largely consumption based. National Bank spokesperson Dan Suciu remarked that this is a general phenomenon, and that the rise is relatively small compared to last month, and significantly lower than in other countries in the region. According to Suciu, Romania is now at the half of the list of EU countries, considering that last year it had the highest inflation.

TALKS Romania's president Klaus Iohannis on
Thursday said a substantial and balanced consolidation of NATO's eastern flank
is urgently needed against the background of the present security situation,
which he described as 'particularly concerning'. The Romanian official made the
statement after the talks he held in Bucharest on Thursday with his Estonian
counterpart Alar Karis. Iohannis also said he would present these priorities of
Romania's at the upcoming NATO summit in Brussels. The Estonian president, who
had earlier paid a visit to Chisinau, underlined that more actions are needed on
NATO's eastern flank, due to Russia's aggressive behavior. He said the Republic
of Moldova must be helped in this 'terrible crisis'. Also on Thursday, Iohannis
held talks in Bucharest with the Spanish Premier Pedro Sanches. High on the
agenda were the refugee crisis, the impact of the crisis in Ukraine, mainly
from the energy point of view and its implications for the region's security.
Romania and Spain have convergent opinions over the importance we should attach
to developing the energy transport infrastructure, the connection between the
member countries, increasing production and storage capabilities - the head of
the Romanian state said. In turn the Spanish Prime Minister said the economic
effects of the war in Ukraine are severe. We've all condemned this invasion
said Sanchez adding the package of sanctions against Russia will continue to
increase. The Spanish official also met his Romanian counterpart Nicolae Ciuca
and both appreciated the joint NATO-EU response to the crisis in Ukraine and
the importance of solidarity with the states dealing first hand with the
refugee crisis.





UKRAINE In the absence of any sign that the
Russian forces would slow down their onslaught against the port-city of
Mariupol, efforts to evacuate civilians through safe corridors are carried on.
30 thousand inhabitants have left the city including 300 people, who according
to Moscow, went by bus over the border in Rostov. A theatre in Mariupol sheltering
hundreds of civilians was bombed by the Russian forces on Wednesday. After
speaking before the US Congress yesterday, Ukraine's president Volodymyr
Zelensky on Thursday talked before the Bundestag calling on Germany to tear down
the new wall against freedom created in Europe by Russian president Vladimir
Putin. France announced it would unblock 300 million euro in aid to Ukraine.
Paris had already supplied the Ukrainian forces with defensive equipment and
fuel. And Kiev is benefitting from a massive support from the USA and other
NATO members. Washington announced one billion dollars in military assistance
to this country within a week.   





COVID The World Health Organization (WHO) has
expressed concern over the resurge in the number of coronavirus cases across
the world, against the backdrop of the relaxation of restrictions and the
promotion of the false idea that the Omicron strain is harmless. WHO director,
Tedros Ghebreyesus says last week the number of infections went up 8% globally
compared to the previous week. China is facing a large number of infections,
after two years when incidence rates were kept at a minimum. Israel has
announced two new cases of infection with an unknown variant, whereas France,
the Netherlands and Denmark reported a type of infection that combines the
Delta and Omicron strains. According to the latest report of the Group for
Strategic Communication, Romania reported a little over 4,000 new cases and 63
related fatalities within the space of 24 hours, of which 27 were prior to the
reference period.





NATO In Brussels, NATO Defense Ministers
decided to extend the term of the Alliance's consolidated posture, particularly
on the eastern flank, due to the war in Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg warned that Russia's readiness to use force must not be
underestimated, nor should the fact that Russia is a nuclear power. The NATO
official said there is unanimity in the Alliance's decision not to send forces
on the ground or to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Soltenberg explained
that NATO wants to prevent the war in Ukraine from spreading to the region. In
turn, NATO Deputy Secretary General, Mircea Geoană, said the Alliance's new posture does not
mean the Alliance believes Russia will attack NATO, but is simply a form of
deterrence. Mircea Geoană explained that the battlegroup created in Romania
will soon be fully operational.
