At the beginning of December, Emil Boc (PD) şi Theodor Stolojan (PLD) announced the merger of parties lead by them and a new political force came into being in Romania: The Liberal Democrat Party.

The second summit between the European Union and Africa is scheduled for the 8th and 9th of December - but will it really take place?

One of the top priorities of he EU was to counter the ever-growing presence of China in African economies.

We are being told that the more we study now, the more comfortable we’ll live later. We are being told to invest in our career. To participate at courses, trainings, internships, all kind of activities that can put you in competition with others like you.
