  • [01] Senate speaker's press conference in Arad

    The speaker of the Romanian Senate, Petre Roman, said that since Hungary was accepted as NATO member, the rejection of Romania's candidacy was a mistake. While in Arada on Suday, the leader of the Democratic party (PD) has told a press conference that he hoped the Hungarian Government would not change the policy the country's former prime minister Gyula Horn has been promoting. Mr Roman said that, as far as the setting up of a Hungarian language teaching university was concerned, no agreement was reached over the issue. On the other hand, the PD leader said that emergency measures should be taken for a 45% raise in the custom duties on wheat and flour imports. Refering to the fact that the Arad leadership of the Christian Democrat National Peasant Party (PNTCD) has denied the Transport Minister Traian Basescu the access in the county of Arad, Mr Roman has warned that such a political diversion might become a source of tensions.

    31 years after the death of the Romanian writer Tudor Arghezi, the Museum of the Romanian Literature has organised a tribute ceremony at the Memorial Home of Martisor on Sunday. In his address to participants, academic Alexandru Balaci has pointed out the importance and the greatness of Arghezi's works as well as the fame of their translations around the world. In his turn, writer Petre Ghelmez has compared the poet's home at Martisor with a shrine where the Romanians pray and discover the Romanian soul and the deep spirit of the Romanian language. The daughter of the poet, Mrs Mitzura Arghezi, has announced that the 41 volume of Arghezi's complete works was soon to appear in bookshops on the occasion of the 31-st commemoration of her father's death.
