I’m trying to focus on the story I’ve chosen for July’s Camp Nano but the one from April keeps creeping up on me and now I’m torn again

Să nu vă pierdeți printre cuvintele rupte și stâlcite a unor oameni ce-și dezonorează limba.

Să nu vă lăsați mintea pătrunsă de vorbe muribunde ce trag să respire.

Croiți-vă peste materie o cortină de file.

This is Bucharest today. But just the beautiful proud part. Today Romania held protests against the corrupt government. The country situation is pretty bad and the corrupt PSD leaders refuse to drop the power. So the people (110.000) exercised their rights and protested. In a PEACEFUL WAY! What do you think that the Police did? They dropped tear gas all over the crowd - over the ground, in the air, directly in the face, all the ways - they dispersed the masses with water cannons and beat everything in their way. There were kids. There were women. There were old people. It was a free massacre. There are people that lost their consciousness, there are people with bad injuries, there are people that were stepped on by the police. A violent cheap show. There is a lot of anger, hate and feels of not being able to take this anymore around this event. Personally, my heart whips for my country. One little group of pieces of shits reunited a nation - there were a lot of people that came home from other countries especially for this. Tomorrow is a new day. The protests will continue despite the violence raised by PSD. People are angry and they want their rights back. Their country back. Their dignity and respect back. There are almost 30 years since the 89 revolution against the communists and the wounds are still open and fresh. No more. We are not gonna back down, we ll be back, in a peaceful way, again, tomorrow! #rezist #fuckcommunism

We are not numbers, we are free, we are so alive Cuz the day we give in is the day we die!

Ti s-a intamplat sa crezi ca esti nimeni sau nimic pentru persoana pentru care ti-ai fi dat si viata? Ti s-a intamplat sa crezi ca totul e frumos si nimeni nu iti poate lua fericirea, dar mai apoi sa ramai singur? Ti s-a intamplat sa renunti la toti si toate pentru iubire, iar in final, cand iubirea dispare sa nu mai ai nici prieteni? Ti s-a intamplat?

Ei bine, daca ai trecut prin astfel de momente sau inca te afli in aceasta cumpana, mesajul este pentru tine: fii demn, fii matur, fii om! Se spune ca tot ce e frumos, trece repede. Ar trebui sa ne obisnuim cu ideea asta. Fie ca se intampla acum, fie ca se va intampla mai tarziu. Haideti sa credem mai mult in noi si sa demonstram ca nu suntem facuti pentru a fi dependenti de cineva, ca fericirea noastra nu consta numai in a avea pe cineva in permanenta alaturi. A avea pe cineva inseamna totul, dar daca pleaca, ramai cu nimic.

Mesajul asta e pentru tine, iubirea mea: Iti doresc sa fii fericit, sa nu afli niciodata ce e tristetea, suferinta. Daca tu esti fericit, sunt si eu. Raman omul pe care l-ai cunoscut, cu coloana vertebrala. Raman soldatul ce e mereu pregatit pentru lupta. Pentru tine trec prin orice si pentru tine sunt aici, exact unde m-ai lasat.

#rezist #Romania grows tired after one and a half years of protesting against #corruption with no concrete results.

The last three weeks have seen the Romanian justice system being shaken by a series of events that displayed how politicised the implementation of the law in the EU nation has become.

On Monday, President Klaus Iohannis signed a decree to sack the head of the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA), Laura Codruta Kovesi.

Kovesi was accused of "acting beyond her responsibilities" and not "respecting the authority of the parliament and damaging Romania's image at an international level".

The DNA, led by Kovesi, has been fighting corruption at high-level political positions since 2013. It has prosecuted hundreds of public figures, earning popular support and praise from the European Commission.

While many see her as a crusader against corruption, others, including politicians from the ruling party, have accused Kovesi's actions as being politically motivated.

Kovesi's dismissal came in the wake of another controversial incident on July 5, when the lower house of the parliament hastily approved changes to the criminal code that partially decriminalised abuse of office.

The latest developments can affect ongoing high-profile cases of corruption, including an abuse of office case against Liviu Dragnea, the leader of the ruling PSD and the speaker of the lower house. Dragnea was sentenced by the court to 3.5 years in prison on June 21, but the verdict is likely to be appealed.

The controversial decisions regarding the justice system in one of the most corrupt EU nation have led to frequent protests since January 2017, when the changes in the criminal code were first proposed in parliament.

Since then, the weakening of the anti-corruption fight has thrown the population into a general depression, with fewer people choosing to continue expressing their disagreement in the street.
