We want to live in a democratic, modern and normal country. And it’s not just the task of the Government or the politicians. We have to make government more transparent and rational, by showing that we understand what they do and react when they are wrong.

In Brief on 9DASHLINE

EFOR meddles in East Asia, in the proverbial China shop: what we as East-Europeans should do in the growing crisis related to Communist China’s presence in Europe, and how it would help a lot if we were more pragmatic and thought outside the box. Thank you 9DASHLINE

Conference: Eastern Europe and the Republic of China (Taiwan)

June 23 rd 2021, 11:00 CET (17:00 in Taipei; 12:00 in Bucharest) The potential for cooperation between the Eastern Europe/Black Sea countries and the Republic of China (Taiwan) is underexploited and the country’s visibility in our region is low.

Boycott Olimpics

It is not the boycotting of the 2022 Beijing Olympics that would represent “a politicization of sport and the Olympic ideal”, but precisely the manner in which dictatorships instrumentalize the sport events for their propaganda purposes.

The EU spends millions of Euro to make its institutions and symbols better known, recognizable – and, maybe, just maybe, a little loved, please? From information programs to organized tours, from websites to visual propaganda, no (awkward) effort was spared to instill into the European citizenry a sense of belonging and create a modicum of ···

L’exception culturelle: tax Homer?

Funny the whole talk in Europe these days about l’exception culturelle, that is, protecting the film industry against free competition, unless Hollywood floods us with mind-numbing stories with schematic characters giving chase and butchering each other. The irony is that the whole culture of Europe originates in precisely the ultimate bloody blockbuster: THE ILIAD

Croatia – a door opener for Western Balkans?

By Anitta Hipper The European Union welcomes today Croatia, its 28th member. Enlargement fatigue and current economic fears do not foresee however a honeymoon for Croatia.

Young Merkel as kolkhoznitsa

Passed by it many times before, but only today noticed how full of naked, gender-imbalanced symbolism is the slightly agitprop statue in front of the EU Parliament in rue Wiertz: German woman beating fallen Cypriot man (Portuguese, Italian, etc) about the head with oversized euro.

Horses are not evil: a market-based solution

In spite of what the media would let you believe, horse meat is good for you. Grinded or not. Here is a market-based solution for solving what appears to be a EU-wide problem today. By the way, have you ever tried donkey?

Here are the new Romanian ministers

How would a decent cabinet look like, given the election results? I mean, not ideal, but realistic, the least bad under the circumstances? EFOR has tried its hand and here is what we found. Waiting for your comments and suggestions if you have better ideas. Note: we believe in small cabinets and culled substantially the ···
