thoughts of a drama queen

Se facuse vreo 17 aseara si nu mai aveam de lucru. Asa ca am inceput sa browsuiesc siteuri si eu, ca orice om. M-a lovit brusc o curiozitate cum ca ce s-a scris in presa straina despre alegerile astea din Romania. Ok, noi tot spunem, facem, dregem, ne revoltam, ne agitam. Dar ia sa vedem ce au inteles copamantenii nostri de pe alte meleaguri despre aceste alegeri. Sau mai degraba, ce n-au inteles.

“If he (Geoana) loses, it will be because he lacks Mr Basescu’s human touch, and because doubts remain over his ability to control the “red barons” in his own party.” zice BBC News, intr-un editorial despre alegeri. Tot BBC News incheie apoteotic “Leaving Calarasi, to reach the motorway to Bucharest, the steel-works which Nicolae Ceausescu built up here rose like a separate city, its chimneys and factory halls floating against the sunset. From such a distance, no-one would guess that it is just a shadow of its former self, a rusting hulk sinking into the ploughed fields.”

Adica, in traducere, Ceausescu a construit niste chestii atat de minunate, iar ingratii de noi le lasam sa se rugineasca si sa se prabuseasca. Noroc cu acest presedinte plin de calitati profund umane, pe care multi nu reusesc sa le vada.

CNN povesteste “Lawmakers voted to oust Prime Minister Emil Boc’s center right administration on October 13 after Boc’s coalition allies withdrew their support.” in timp ce Euronews explica “When the centre-left government collapsed in October, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) delayed part of a 20-billion euro loan meant to revive the country’s battered economy.” Deci pana la urma cum e? Center left sau center right? Ca totusi, se confuzeaza lumea. Nu ca ar mai avea doctrinele vreo importanta in politica romaneasca, dar macar sa ne prefacem ca avem stanga si dreapta, alba si neagra, da si nu, cum ar fi normal in orice lucru pus in dezbatere.

Dar nu asta conteaza ci faptul ca suntem cu un picior in groapa.“Badly hit by the global political crisis, Romania was forced to turn to the International Monetary Fund, the EU and the World Bank in March for a $27 billion aid package to prop up the country’s economy.” si e si normal sa creada asta. La ce suma am imprumutat, pare ca avem nevoie sa hranim toti romanii la centre pentru homeleshi.

Tot dragutii de la Euronews s-au pierdut in detalii de genul “cum ar trebui sa fie”, dar n-au inteles ca nu este. Si spun “The Democratic Liberals of Emil Boc have won about 33 percent of the vote, putting them in a strong bargaining position thanks to their strong links with President Traian Basescu.” Aceasta fraza total intortocheata ar putea sa lase de inteles unui strain ca Boc e de fapt candidatul care vrea sa ia locul actualului Basesc.

Iar pe timesonline gasim un editorial stufos despre struggling Romania, care prezinta tot contextul politico-economic, coalitia este centre-left, banii nu au venit pentru ca s-a prabusit guvernu, iar noi suntem in pana totala. “Romania has been badly hit in the past year. Economic output fell by 7.6 per cent in the first half of this year. The process of electing the president, which began on Sunday, will show whether Romanians still have stamina for the changes that the EU and financiers are demanding.” si, nu in ultimul rand: “Delay matters. Despite Romania’s accession to the EU in January 2007, it has remained ravaged by corruption. Caustic reports from Brussels have not had much effect.”

Un breaz comentator de pe timesonline decide: “In thre rush to expand, Romania and Bulgaria were both admitted without having to clean up their act in advance. The on;y way to ensure compliance is to threaten, and if necessary enact, dismaissal from the EU. The EU has made a mistake in admitting these countries. Now they must either clean up or get out.” Uh, dar ce drastic! Out! Dar e ok. Doar ca omul nu intelege ca noi n-am fost foarte mult cautati intre dinti inainte sa fim acceptati. Era nevoie sa ne bage o data inauntru ca sa se extinda, chiar daca la periferie strazile sunt mai murdare. Ca in orice societate.

Deci, suntem aceiasi parliti, corupti, jigariti care se imprumuta cu sume exorbitante pentru ca suntem intr-un mare cacat economic. Continuam sa intarim impresia ca in Romania inca se mananca de pe jos. N-am nicio opinie despre asta, doar voiam sa stiti si voi si am sintetizat informatia esentiala ca sa nu va mai chinuiti sa cautati.

p.s. As dori sa merg azi la un film. Si eu am vodafone. Si voi aveti Orange. Si e Miercuri. Se indura cineva sa-mi lase un cod ca sa vaz filmul mai ieftin? Multumesc anticipat.
