Yeah, right... The government passes an emergency ordinance quietly during the night, aimed at saving the party's leader, and you blame the president. IOW, people shouldn't think for themselves because there are leaders elected to do just that. What I'm really ashamed of is that there are still many Romanian citizens who think that leaders are allowed to steal as long as they give a little bit in return (for those who were old enough in December '89, any similarities to "give them another hundred lei..."?).

  During Ceaușescu's final speech he offered to raise the salary of workers by 200 lei per month to placate the rebelling crowd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceau%C8%99escu%27s_final_speech https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceau%C8%99escu%27s_final_speec...

    Only you had nothing to buy with 200 lei aside from vinegar and bean jars or maybe save for a Dacia for which you'd have no gas because it was rationalized.
