I am more than skeptic about the year 2007 for Romania. It's no use to make this prettier than it really is. The government is fighting corruption, but picking exculsively of the 2nd and 3rd grade corrupts, leaving the "party people" basically scott free. One editorialist once said: "The government fighting corruption would mean fighting against itself"
Not only that, it has also proven it is incapabile of taking positive action by itself, all the major decisions were a result of pressure from either Bruxelles, the IMF, labour unions or "party people". I it were only the first two it would still be something.

If the economics works, people accept more easily the change. That it our problem, mentality. Our peple do not respect the low any more, after 40 years of opression, they do not like any roule.
We try very hard by the educational way to change them to be more open . Fortunatly, our younger generation is very open to the democratic changes. For them we fight, they deserve a better life, a better tratament.
