Today was the first working day for the 35 euro-parliamentarians, intended to represent Romania in the European Parliament after the elections on 25th of November.

Freedom of movement inside the EU of European citizens is no longer guarenteed as Italian Government issued legislation contrary to this fundamental principle on which the European Union is built. According to this new law, the Italian authorities have already deported tens of Romanian citizens living in the peninsula, even though they enjoy the rights guarenteed by the European citizenship. The action came as a reaction against the Romanian minority living in Italy fallowing the killing of an Italian women by a Romanian immigrant.

The final lists with the candidates for the European Parliament elections, set on 25th November, have been sent yesterday to the Central Electoral Office. The political parties finally decided whom to send to Brussels, after many negotiations with their members, as they didn’t want to leave Bucharest not to loose their internal influence and positions.
