After reminding his audience that Romania had fought on their side in the Great War, he referred subtly to the new barbarism originating from Germany: "Established on the ancient borders of Western civilisation, Roumania created in the course of centuries, through the bravery of her sons, the first breaker of barbaric invasion." He laid on some flattery: "... I do not consider there could be any more useful and reliable ambassadors of peace than the businessmen," and summed up the political purpose of his mission in one sentence:" Roumania, I assure you, is ready to adopt such a programme as soon as she can be certain of receiving sufficient collaboration of a real and serious nature."

[Game Politics] gamepolitics: Romanian Game Design Outrages Hungarians: Sure he has a right to make his game with whatever elements and story he wants to (first amendment in philosophy, even though in Romania it probably is not legally binding), but if he puts stuff like what is seemingly an ethnic genocide into his game as a 'joke' he should maybe be proactive in defending his design choices, as others equally have the right to argue their opinions that such a game is inappropriate and nobody should play it. The fact that its fictional is besides the point as even fiction (nay, especially fiction) can have profound political and real-life messages, and int his case it seems to me that its not the critics who are injecting "petty nationalism" out of nowhere, he has set the table by specifically labeling the sides in ways that are already charged with contemporary political meaning.

In April the left-wing opposition and Tariceanu's allies in parliament voted to suspend the president for unconstitutional conduct, a dubious charge given that the constitutional court had ruled previously that the president had not violated the constitution, but the court also upheld the president's suspension.

The topic has never been considered this way for Christianity was the only spiritual base and the common language of almost every individual ”¦ And if there were tensions provoked by some separatists’ movements like those of Northern Ireland, of the Basque province of Spain or of French Corsica, nobody among the European leaders did ever have the insane idea of building borders between the ethnical groups with the effect of preserving of the social peace in such or such member state”¦ Hence the efforts of all western governments were aimed at the demolition of all existing borders in the name of the equality in rights of all ethnical groups, of all nations, and in the name of the prosperity of the whole European Community ”¦
