Why do you get winded up so much? Chill, it’s just a few comments beneath just one of million articles.

apparently it isn’t, as per the deleted posts for no reason whatsoever…

Hahaha, that’s a surprisingly positive spin to all this mess

From the abstract and recommendations of the EC report:

Bulgaria has engaged in reform efforts, in dialogue with the Commission, under the Rule of Law cycle and the Recovery and Resilience Plan, and there have been several legislative developments particularly in the past six months. The Constitutional Court of Bulgaria ruled that parts of the comprehensive constitutional amendments, essential for the organisation of the State, had been adopted by a body not competent to do so, and declared most of the reform unconstitutional. As a result, previous concerns that the reform had aimed to address have reemerged. The provisions dismissed include limits on the Prosecutor General’s powers, although the mechanism for the effective accountability and criminal liability of the Prosecutor General and deputies was declared con- stitutional. The effectiveness of this mechanism is constrained by some procedural issues. As for the Supreme Judicial Council, the Constitutional Court dismissed the overall reform but considered that a restructuring would be possible. The long-term secondment of judges and the functioning of the Inspectorate to the Supreme Judicial Council remain a concern. A draft law to extend judicial review for prosecutorial decisions for cases of termination and suspension of investigations for victimless crimes was tabled. The level of perceived judicial independence in Bulgaria continues to be very low. The law on mandatory meeting for judicial mediation has been adopted. New digital tools have been introduced to improve access to justice. Initial data show that courts perform efficiently when dealing with civil and commercial proceedings.

Will firsthand experience of these events change how people think and act about climate change, making it seem immediate and local rather than a distant or future problem?

Research so far has offered a mixed picture. Some studies suggest going through extreme weather can make people more likely to believe in climate change, worry about it, support climate policies, and vote for Green parties. But other studies have found no such effects on people’s beliefs, concern, or behaviour.

thank you!

Do you have more information on how it supports crossposting with Mastodon? As far as I know, Friendica supports its protocol, but that’s about it.

Unfortunately Diaspora does not use the ActivityPub protocol and doesn’t even bridge to it. They have made the deliberate choice to not ever have a sizeable community.

There are a lot of expectations from the relatively new European Public Prosecution Office (EPPO) in the region. At least in Croatia they start to deliver.

As for Žalac, I don’t really think she should be paid her stay in prison with taxpayer money, so they could let her out in home custody or whatever.

"The defendant Gabrijela Žalac was found guilty today. On the basis of her admission of guilt and the agreement between the parties, she has been sentenced to two years in prison. It should be noted, that prior to this verdict she voluntarily paid back to the state 200 thousand euros, a part of the damages she caused by her criminal actions,” said Sani Ljubičić, a prosecutor assigned to the case by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO).

Well, it’s like in Palestine: leaders of the two nations conspire against their own populations. Netanyahu has been funding Hamas, and now funds other extremists in Palestine. These are how he keeps under his control not only Palestinians, but also Israelis.

You are actually the heart of this community :)

Oh, no. 52 now. Now even you can’t undo the damage 😜

Two months of training and a possibility for alternative civil service are by no means comparable to what military service meant in the 20th century. As someone grown up then, I see this as acceptable. Some sort of civil service certainly makes sense to me.

They have similar Russian meddling issues like the US, but fortunately Romanian institutions do not sit on their hands as their US colleagues turned out to do.

Maybe a good part of these 35% would complain about whatever the outcome?

But what makes Antonescu say this:

I am caught between the shallow demagogues who will ruin my Romania, and the agents (including Mr. Dan) with ties to the former communist secret police, the Securitate, who, with help from many well-meaning people, have been damaging this country for 20 years,

Is it just political envy or is there substance behind the claims of a fading out politician?
