The Superior Council of Magistracy has sanctioned the judges who sentenced former minister Daniel Chițoiu for a car accident that killed two people. It is a sharp turn in a case that had already tested the public's confidence in how the legal system handles the political class.
President Nicușor Dan has informed the Pentagon that Romania is willing to pay to keep American troops and hardware on its soil. A decision from Donald Trump is expected in December; in the meantime, Bucharest is making it clear that if security has a price tag, they are ready to settle the bill. Separately, the state-owned National Mineral Waters Company has reported its first loss in twenty years. The director earns over 30,000 lei a month, which is more than can be said for the company’s current profits.
Air target alerts near Sulina sent F-16s into the sky yesterday, though no breach of airspace was confirmed. On the ground, the government won a definitive legal victory over the Tuzla–Podișor gas pipeline. The project is now cleared to move gas from the Black Sea, provided the state can navigate the engineering as successfully as it did the courts.
