Cluj County
Cluj (Romanian pronunciation: [kluʒ]); is a county (judeţ) of Romania, in Transylvania, with the capital city at Cluj-Napoca.
In Hungarian, it is known as Kolozs, and in German as Kreis Cluj. During Austro-Hungarian administration, before 1918, there was a county with similar name (see: Kolozs County).
In 2011, it had a population of 659,370 and a population density of 97/km².
This county has a total area of 6,674 km². About 1/3 of this surface are mountains—the Apuseni Mountains, with heights up to 1800 m and located in the Southwest part of the county. The rest of the surface is the North side of the Transylvanian Plateau, a hilly region with deep and wide valleys.
The main rivers in the county are Someşul Mic, Arieş, and Crişul Repede.
Cluj County has one of the most dynamic economies in Romania. It is a region with one of the highest ratings of foreign investments. In addition, Cluj-Napoca is home to one of Romania's important IT and financial services centers.

Kingdom of Romania
The Kingdom of Romania was the Romanian state based on a form of parliamentary monarchy between 13 March 1881 and 30 December 1947, specified by the first three Constitutions of Romania (1866, 1923, 1938). Thus, the Kingdom of Romania began with the reign of King Carol I of Romania who gained Romanian's independence in the Romanian War of Independence, and ended with the abdication of King Michael I of Romania in 30 December 1947, imposed by the Soviet Union with the tacit and secret, implicit consent of its allies (as a result of the Yalta Conference and secret agreements). As such, it is quite distinct from the Romanian Old Kingdom, which refers strictly to the reign of King Carol I of Romania, between 14 March (O.S.) (26 May (N.S.)) 1881 and 27 September (O.S.) (10 October (N.S.)) 1914.
From 1859 to 1877, Romania evolved from a personal union of two vassal principalities (Moldavia and Wallachia) under a single prince to a full-fledged independent kingdom with a Hohenzollern monarchy. In 1918, at the end of World War I, Transylvania, Eastern Moldavia (Bessarabia), and Bukovina united with the Kingdom of Romania, resulting in a "Greater Romania". In 1940, Bessarabia, Northern Bukowina, Northern Transylvania and Southern Dobruja were ceded to the Soviet Union, Hungary and Bulgaria respectively, only Northern Transylvania being recovered after World War II ended. In 1947 the last king was compelled to abdicate and a republic ruled by the Romanian Communist Party replaced the monarchy.

Romania
Romania (
i/roʊˈmeɪniə/ roh-MAY-nee-ə; dated: Roumania; or Rumania;Romanian: România [romɨˈni.a] (
listen)) is a country located at the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe, on the Lower Danube, within and outside the Carpathian arch, bordering on the Black Sea. Romania shares a border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and Moldova to the northeast and east, and Bulgaria to the south.
At 238,400 square kilometers (92,000 sq mi), Romania is the ninth largest country of the European Union by area, and has the seventh largest population of the European Union with over 19 million people. Its capital and largest city is Bucharest, the tenth largest city in the EU with about two million people.
The Kingdom of Romania emerged when the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia were united under Prince Alexander Ioan Cuza in 1859. Independence from the Ottoman Empire was declared on 9 May 1877, and was internationally recognized the following year. At the end of World War I, Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia united with the Kingdom of Romania. Greater Romania emerged into an era of progression and prosperity that would continue until World War II. By the end of the War, many north-eastern areas of Romania's territories were occupied by the Soviet Union, and Romania forcibly became a socialist republic and a member of the Warsaw Pact.

Adrian Năstase
Adrian Năstase (Romanian pronunciation: [adriˈan nəsˈtase]; born June 22, 1950) is a Romanian politician who was the Prime Minister of Romania from December 2000 to December 2004.
He competed as the Social Democratic Party (PSD) candidate in the 2004 presidential election, but was defeated by centre-right Justice and Truth (DA) Alliance candidate Traian Băsescu.
He was the President of the Chamber of Deputies from December 21, 2004 until 15 March 2006, when he resigned due to corruption charges. On 30 January 2012, the courts gave Năstase a two-year prison sentence for misuse of a publicly funded conference to raise cash for his unsuccessful campaign in 2004. Năstase claimed the sentence was influenced by rival politician Traian Băsescu, at the time President of Romania, and indicated that if necessary, he will raise his case to the European Courts of Human Rights.
Năstase was born in Bucharest to a family that originated from Hanul de Pământ village, Tărtăşeşti commune, Dâmboviţa County. His father, Marian Năstase, was an officer of the Royal Romanian Army. His mother is named Elena and he has a sister, Dana Barb (née Năstase).

Adriean Videanu
Adriean Videanu (Romanian pronunciation: [adriˈan viˈde̯anu]; born 1 June 1962 in Crevenicu, Teleorman County) is a businessman and former mayor of Bucharest, Romania. He is also a vice president of the Democratic Liberal Party of Romania, which is led by Emil Boc and the Minister of Economy in the Boc Cabinet, from 22 December 2008.
A businessman in the marble and granite industry, Videanu was elected mayor in early April 2005, gathering 53.01% of the Bucharest electorate's vote, but the turnout was the lowest since 1989, with only 24.83% of the voters turning up.
Starting with 2008 Videanu is under corruption investigation regarding a business with raw materials for constructions (i.e. curbstones). His own companies were involved in the scandalous affair of the "curbstonization" of the Romanian capital city, Bucharest. A large number of streets from Romanian capital were paved with new curbstones imported from China during the period of 2006-2008. The traffic was severely disturbed, rising the dissatisfaction of Bucharest inhabitants. According to some preliminary data Videanu's companies obtained illegally 4 million euros from state funds.

Alexandru Athanasiu
Alexandru Athanasiu (born January 1, 1955) is a Romanian politician and jurist. A former leader of the Romanian Social Democratic Party (PSDR), he is a member of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) since 2001. Athanasiu served as Prime Minister on an interim basis from December 13 to December 22, 1999, heading the Romanian Democratic Convention (CDR) cabinet after the resignation of Radu Vasile.

Alexandru Averescu
Alexandru Averescu (Romanian pronunciation: [alekˈsandru aveˈresku] ( listen); 1859–1938) was a Romanian marshal and populist politician. A Romanian Armed Forces Commander during World War I, he served as Prime Minister of three separate cabinets (as well as being interim Foreign Minister in January–March 1918 and Minister without portfolio in 1938). He first rose to prominence during the peasant's revolt of 1907, which he helped repress in violence. Credited with engineering the defense of Moldavia in the 1916–1917 Campaign, he built on his popularity to found and lead the successful People's Party, which he brought to power in 1920–1921, with backing from King Ferdinand I and the National Liberal Party (PNL), and with the notable participation of Constantin Argetoianu and Take Ionescu.
His controversial first mandate, marked by a political crisis and oscillating support from the PNL's leader Ion I. C. Brătianu, played a part in legislating land reform and repressed communist activities, before being brought down by the rally of opposition forces. His second term of 1926–1927 brought a much-debated treaty with Fascist Italy, and fell after Averescu gave clandestine backing to the ousted Prince Carol. Faced with the People Party's decline, Averescu closed deals with various right-wing forces and was instrumental in bringing Carol back to the throne in 1930. Relations between the two soured over the following years, and Averescu clashed with his fellow party member Octavian Goga over the king's attitudes. Shortly before his death, he and Carol reconciled, and Averescu joined the Crown Council.

Armand Călinescu
Armand Călinescu (4 June 1893 – 21 September 1939) was a Romanian economist and politician, who served as Prime Minister between March 1939 and the time of his death.
He was born in Piteşti as the son of Mihai Călinescu, a Romanian Army veteranian, and his wife Ecaterina, née Gherasim. Mihai Călinescu was a landowner and relatively wealthy man.
Călinescu attended secondary school and high school in his native city at Ion Brătianu High School then, between 1912 and 1918, studied the Law and Philosophy at University of Bucharest, before taking a Ph.D. in Economics and Political Sciences at the University of Paris, with a thesis on Le change roumain. Sa dépreciation depuis la guerre et son rétablissment ("The Romanian Exchange Rate. Its Depreciation Ever Since the War and Its Recovery").
Initially, Călinescu intended to enter the political scene as a member of the dominant National Liberal Party (PNL), but his views on politics were rejected by its leader Ion I. C. Brătianu. Instead, he joined the Peasants' Party (PŢ), a rising opposition group, falling under the influence of Ion Mihalache. He was first elected to office in 1926, as one of the 38 PŢ deputies in opposition to the second Alexandru Averescu cabinet, and was reelected for consecutive terms until 1937.

Artur Văitoianu
Artur or Arthur Văitoianu (14 April 1864, Izmail – 17 June 1956) was a Romanian general who served as a Prime Minister of Romania for about two months in 1919 (September 29 - December 4). During his mandate, the first elections of Greater Romania were held.
Born in Izmail (in Bessarabia, now part of Ukraine), he rose through the ranks of the Romanian Army and, during the World War I Battle of Mărăşti, he commanded the Second Corps.
A War and Interior Minister in Ion I. C. Brătianu's cabinet, he came to lead the executive upon the latter's resignation over the Allied Powers' refusal to recognize the territorial awards promised to Romania upon its 1916 entry into the conflict (on the basis of Romania having signed a separate peace with the Central Powers, the Treaty of Bucharest, in the previous year); in the short hiatus, no Romanian authority was present at the signing of the Treaty of Saint-Germain with Austria.
Văitoianu took office as Romanian troops were engaged in an expedition to Hungary, where they were fighting against the newly-proclaimed Hungarian Soviet Republic. The Supreme War Council of Allied Powers gave Romania an 8-day ultimatum to retreat its troops from Budapest to the provisional border settled by the Paris Peace Conference and to cease confiscation of Hungarian property, as well as to sign the peace with Austria and agree to guarantee minority rights throughout Greater Romania. Văitoianu's government refused to comply, and handed in its resignation on November 30, leaving room for the bloc formed in Parliament by the Romanian National Party of Transylvania and the Peasants' Party of the Regat to form the Alexandru Vaida-Voevod cabinet, one which soon agreed to the Allies' demands.

Barbu Catargiu
Barbu Catargiu (26 October 1807–20 June [O.S. 8 June] 1862) was a conservative Romanian journalist and politician. He was the first Prime Minister of Romania in 1862 until he was assassinated on 20 June that year. He was a staunch defender of the great estates of the boyars, and notably originated the Conservative doctrine that "feudalism in Romania had never existed".
Catargiu was born on 26 October 1807 to Stephen Catargiu, a political activist and Stanca Varescu. He lived abroad in Paris from 1825 to 1834, where he studied Law, History, and Philosophy. He returned to Wallachia for a short time, and was a member of the Obsteasca Assembly of Wallachia. An opponent of violence and armed revolution, he resumed his world travels during the Revolutions of 1848, working primarily as a journalist and making a documentary.
After his return to Romania, Catargiu entered political life as a firm Conservative. He believed that evolution, rather than violent revolution was the best way to modernize the Government, and would give the fledgling Romania the best chance at unity. He also advocated an Aristocratic Republic as the best form of governance, clearly believing in guarding the power of the boyars.

Barbu Ştirbey
Prince Barbu Ştirbey (1873–1946) was briefly Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Romania in 1927. He was the son of Prince Alexandru Ştirbey and his wife Maria Ghika-Comăneşti, and grandson of another Barbu Dimitrie Ştirbey (born Bibescu, adopted Ştirbey), who was Prince of Wallachia and died in 1869.
He married Princess Nadèje Bibescu about 1895, and had four daughters.
His real significance in Romania history arises from his role as close confidant of Queen Marie, who was herself a highly influential figure in Romanian government circles prior to the accession of her son King Carol II to the throne in 1930.
Ştirbey and Queen Marie were lovers, and Ştirbey was probably the father of her youngest child, Mircea, and possibly the father of Ileana.
Shortly after the Royal coup of August 23, 1944, he traveled to Moscow with the Romanian delegation that signed on September 12 the Armistice Agreement between Romania and the Soviet Union. Ştirbey was one of the plenipotentiary signatories of Agreement; the other signatories were Lucreţiu Pătrăşcanu, Dumitru Dămăceanu, and Ghiţă Popp on the Romanian side, and Rodion Malinovsky on the Soviet side.

Cătălin Marian Predoiu (Romanian pronunciation: [kətəˈlin preˈdoju]; born 27 August 1968, Buzău) is a Romanian lawyer who served as the interim Prime Minister of Romania following the resignation of Emil Boc from February 6 to February 9, 2012. He has been the Minister of Justice of Romania since 29 February 2008.
Cătălin Predoiu graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Bucharest in 1991. In 1994 he completed a training program in commercial law at the Caen Bar in France.

Predoiu is an associate lawyer at the ZRP law partnership since 2005. He is a commercial and corporate governance lawyer, having a Ph.D. degree in commercial banks. Since 2003 he is a member of the Council of Bucharest Bar Association.
His term as Minister of Justice was extended in the new Emil Boc Cabinet (since 22 December 2008), composed of Social Democratic Party and Democratic Liberal Party (PDL) members. This brought criticism from his party, the National Liberal Party, which led to Predoiu's self-suspension. He argued that he accepted this new nomination only to continue his work at the ministry. He was the only independent minister in the first Boc Cabinet. In the second Boc cabinet, he was one of three independent ministers of that government (together with Mihail Dumitru and Teodor Baconschi) and the only member of the Tăriceanu cabinet still in office. In December 2009, he was reappointed Minister of Justice, and became the only independent minister, after Dumitru was replaced and Baconschi became a member of PDL.

In 1981, Pogea graduated from the Materials Science and Engineering Faculty of the Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest. He also holds a doctorate in the same field. After graduation, he was sent to work at Siderurgica Hunedoara, a steel foundry. In 1989, the ruling Romanian Communist Party (PCR) sent him to the Timişoara party school; after finishing second in his class that October, he was named secretary for economic affairs in Hunedoara. During that December's revolution, the insurgents who entered his office were surprised to find only stacks of paper inside, instead of luxury goods, and a number of individuals anonymously stated that he was the only PCR activist to help them out during those days. However, factory employees recalled he was on the premises at the time, urging employees to "stop this nonsense about a Revolution". Following the revolution, he continued working at the foundry, remaining until 1991 as a section chief, which he had been since 1981; then from 1992 to 1993 as adviser to the director; and afterwards as chief of technical services. From 1997 to 2001, when he was replaced, Pogea directed the foundry, where he acquired a reputation for insisting on total control, and where he conducted a restructuring that saw several thousand people leave the firm. He has also directed two Simeria marble producers: Marmosim from 2001 to 2004 and Titan Mar from 2006 to 2008; both of these are largely owned by Adriean Videanu.

Representing the "young liberals" faction inside the National Liberal Party (PNL), Tătărescu began his political career as a collaborator of Ion G. Duca, becoming noted for his anti-Communism and, in time, for his conflicts with the PNL's leader Dinu Brătianu and the Foreign Minister Nicolae Titulescu. During his first time in office, he moved closer to King Carol II, leading an ambivalent policy toward the fascist Iron Guard and ultimately becoming instrumental in establishing the authoritarian and corporatist regime around the National Renaissance Front. In 1940, he accepted the cession of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina to the Soviet Union, and consequently had to resign.

He was born in Ciuta, Caraş-Severin County and holds two degrees, one obtained in 1975 from the Sibiu Theological Institute and one in 1998 from the University of Craiova Economics Faculty, with a Management specialty.

From 1981 to 1991, he was an economic adviser at the Metropolis of Banat of the Romanian Orthodox Church. During 2006, two accusations were made that Sârbu collaborated with the Securitate during the 1980s. The first came from a former Timiş County agent, who charged that Sârbu had been recruited for a mission to the Vatican; the latter denied this and presented a CNSAS certificate confirming that his name does not figure in existing files as having been an informant or agent. Then, after a second CNSAS certificate again exonerated him, it emerged that Sârbu's name appeared on a list belonging to the former spy Liviu Turcu, and that he had been a domestic agent; Sârbu vehemently denied the new claim (labelling Turcu a "traitor") and said he had in fact been under Securitate surveillance.

Ilie Verdeţ
Ilie Verdeţ (10 May 1925 – 20 March 2001) was a Romanian politician.
Born in Comăneşti, Bacău County, and a miner from age 12, he joined the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) in 1945. After graduating from the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies, he climbed through the Party apparatus. By the early 1960s he was working in the central office of the PCR in Bucharest, as deputy of Nicolae Ceauşescu, who was in charge of party organization and appointments. After the death of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej in March 1965, Verdeţ helped Ceauşescu gain the post of Secretary General of the PCR.
Soon afterwards, Verdeţ was promoted to the Permanent Bureau of the Political Executive Committee of the PCR. He held many political posts, including those of Deputy Prime Minister (1966-1974) and Prime Minister of Romania (1979-1982). He was sent by President Ceauşescu to solve the Jiu Valley miners' strike of 1977, but was unable to negotiate and was held hostage for two days (a notion he later denied).
After the fall of Ceauşescu in December 1989, Verdeţ declared himself the head of a provisional government, but it only lasted for about 20 minutes, after which he was pushed aside by Ion Iliescu, who emerged as the leader of the National Salvation Front. Verdeţ founded in 1990 a party named Partidul Socialist al Muncii (Socialist Labour Party), which narrowly entered Parliament in the 1992 elections [1][citation needed], but in subsequent elections failed to win any seats. He stayed on as party chief until the 2000 elections, after which he was removed from his post.

Ion Antonescu
Ion Victor Antonescu (Romanian pronunciation: [iˈon antoˈnesku]; June 15, 1882 – June 1, 1946) was a Romanian soldier, authoritarian politician and convicted war criminal. The Prime Minister and Conducător during most of World War II, he presided over two successive wartime dictatorships. A Romanian Army career officer who made his name during the 1907 peasants' revolt and the World War I Romanian Campaign, the antisemitic Antonescu sympathized with the far right and fascist National Christian and Iron Guard groups for much of the interwar period. He was a military attaché to France and later Chief of the General Staff, briefly serving as Defense Minister in the National Christian cabinet of Octavian Goga. During the late 1930s, his political stance brought him into conflict with King Carol II and led to his detainment. Antonescu nevertheless rose to political prominence during the political crisis of 1940, and established the National Legionary State, an uneasy partnership with the Iron Guard's leader Horia Sima. After entering Romania into an alliance with Nazi Germany and the Axis and ensuring Adolf Hitler's confidence, he eliminated the Guard during the Legionary Rebellion of 1941. In addition to leadership of the executive, he assumed the offices of Foreign Affairs and Defense Minister. Soon after Romania joined the Axis in Operation Barbarossa, recovering Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, Antonescu also became Marshal of Romania.

After finishing his studies in Paris, he left for Moldavia and was involved in the failed Frăţia ("Brotherhood") conspiracy of 1848, which was intended to bring about the union of Wallachia and Moldavia under one native Romanian leader, Prince Mihai Sturdza.

Ion Gigurtu
Ion Gigurtu (Romanian pronunciation: [iˈon d͡ʒiˈɡurtu]; June 24, 1886 – November 24, 1959) was a Romanian politician, Land Forces officer, engineer and industrialist who served a brief term as Prime Minister from July 4 to September 4, 1940, under the personal regime of King Carol II. A specialist in mining and veteran of both the Second Balkan War and World War I, he made a fortune in interwar Greater Romania. Gigurtu began his career in politics with the People's Party (PP) and the National Agrarian Party, moving closer to the far right during the 1930s, and serving as Minister of Industry and Commerce in the cabinet of Octavian Goga. Shortly after the start of World War II, Gigurtu was affiliated with King Carol's National Renaissance Front, serving as Public Works and Communications Minister and Foreign Minister under Premier Gheorghe Tătărescu, before the territorial losses incurred by Romania in front of the Soviet Union propelled him as Tătărescu's replacement.
Gigurtu's executive was primarily noted for realizing the inability of France and the United Kingdom to guarantee Romania's borders and, accordingly, for the alignment with Nazi Germany. As part of this program, Gigurtu most notably enforced official antisemitism and racial discrimination, implementing locally a version of the Nuremberg Laws. Despite such measures, the government fell after being compelled by Germany to accept the cession of Northern Transylvania to Hungary, and was consequently forced to resign amidst nationwide protests. Gigurtu retreated from public life for the rest of the war, and, following the pro-Allied King Michael Coup, was arrested, investigated and released several times. Ultimately prosecuted by the newly-proclaimed Communist regime as part of a show trial, he eventually died in prison.

Iohannis is widely credited with turning his city into one of Romania's most popular tourist destinations, and the city was declared as European Capital of Culture in 2007.
In October 2009, four of the five political groups in the Parliament (except the Democrat Liberal Party (PDL)) proposed him as candidate for the office of Prime Minister of Romania; however, President Traian Băsescu refused to nominate him. Băsescu instead designated the independent Lucian Croitoru. The opposition, which has a majority in the Parliament, continued to support Iohannis as Prime Minister, and on October 21, the Parliament adopted a declaration asking for Croitoru's withdrawal and vowing support for Iohannis. Croitoru subsequently lost the confirmation in the parliament, and Băsescu then designated Liviu Negoiţă (PDL), who failed to receive a parliamentary vote. After the first round of 2009 Romanian Presidential elections, the National Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party signed a political agreement, which in particular mentioned continued support for Iohannis as their candidate for Prime Minister if Social Democrat Mircea Geoana wins the second round. This is supported also by the political group of national minorities in Romania’s Parliament.

Octavian Goga
Octavian Goga (Romanian pronunciation: [oktaviˈan ˈɡoɡa]; April 1, 1881 – May 7, 1938) was a Romanian politician, poet, playwright, journalist, and translator.
Born in Răşinari, nearby Sibiu, he was an active member in the Romanian nationalistic movement in Transylvania and of its leading group, the Romanian National Party (PNR) in Austria-Hungary. Before World War I, Goga was arrested by the Hungarian authorities. At different intervals, until the union of Romania and Transylvania in 1918, Goga took refuge in Romania, becoming active in literary and political circles. Because of his political activity in Romania, the Hungarian state sentenced him to death in absentia.
During World War I, he joined the Romanian army and took part as a soldier, in the occupation of Dobrogea.
In the interwar period he left the PNR to join General Alexandru Averescu's People's Party (PP), a populist movement created upon the war's end.
Goga clashed with Averescu over the latter's conflict with King Carol II. A founder of the minor PP splinter-group naming itself the National Agrarian Party, he led it into an alliance with A. C. Cuza's National-Christian Defense League, forming the National Christian Party.

Petru Groza
Petru Groza (December 7, 1884 - January 7, 1958) was a Romanian politician, best known as the Prime Minister of the first Communist Party-dominated governments under Soviet occupation during the early stages of the Communist regime in Romania.
Groza emerged as a public figure at the end of World War I as a notable member of the Romanian National Party (PNR), preeminent layman of the Romanian Orthodox Church, and then member of the Directory Council of Transylvania. In 1933, Groza founded a left-wing Agrarian organization known as the Ploughmen's Front (Frontul Plugarilor). The left-wing ideas he supported earned him the nickname The Red Bourgeois.
Groza became Premier in 1945 when Nicolae Rădescu, a leading Romanian Army general who assumed power briefly following the conclusion of World War II, was forced to resign by the Soviet Union's deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, Andrei Y. Vishinsky. Under Groza's term as premier until 1952, Romania's King, Michael I, was forced to abdicate as the nation officially became a "People's Republic". Although his authority and power as Premier was compromised by his reliance upon the Soviet Union for support, Groza presided over the consolidation of Communist rule in Romania before eventually being succeeded by Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej in 1952.

Imaginile pe care toti le asteptau! Nunta Elenei Basescu lume buna, petrecere fara fite.

Mult asteptatul eveniment sa incheiat. La nunta Elenei Basescu sa dansat de la inceput si pana la sfarsit. Sirul nuntasilor la poarta Palatului Snagov a fost de neoprit. Nunta de soi, invitati pe masura. Masinile, numai una si una, au format o coada uriasa! Aparitia de senzatie in alaiul nuntasilor de la Palatul Snagov a fost regele romilor, Florin Cioaba. Maria Cioaba, imbracata conform traditiei tiganesti, abia astepta sa vada cortul unde avea sa se tina petrecerea. Cadoul insa era de zile mari: papusa Lulica pentru mireasa Elena. Primii care au pasit in ringul de dans au fost socrii mici. Au facut furori printre nuntasi. Mai ales rochia verde a Mariei Basescu. Mirii insa i-au lasat pe nuntasi cu gura cascata si cu inimile coplesite de emotia momentului. Pur si simplu au plutit intr-un sincron perfect. Dupa miezul noptii, chiar de sub ochii nuntasilor, sa evaporat mireasa. Vinovat, insusi cavalerul de onoare, Codin Maticiuc, zis Poponet, care a cerut doar un dans in schimbul miresei. Toti s-au delectat cu un meniu de zile mari. Na fost scump, doar 74 de euro cum anuntase anterior Elena Basescu, insa a respectat toate regulie unei nunti ca la carte. Dar tortul, tortul a fost cu adevarat princiar. Pina la rasarit au petrecut nuntasii. Multi nu au dorit sa plece cu mana goala si au luat cu ei acasa cate o amintire: s-au imortalizat cu mirii, socrii si nasii. Pe la ora 5 dimineata, Aurel Tamas ia ridicat in picioare pe toti nuntasii cu mai multe cantece patrotice ...

Emil Boc (Romanian pronunciation: [eˈmil ˈbok]; born September 6, 1966) is a Romanian politician who was Prime Minister of Romania from 22 December 2008 until his resignation on 6 February 2012. In June 2004, he was elected Mayor of Cluj-Napoca, the largest city in Transylvania. Boc is also the president of the Democratic Liberal Party, which designated him as Prime Minister in 2008. On October 13, 2009, his cabinet fell after losing a motion of no confidence in Parliament. He was acting as the head of an interim cabinet until a new Prime Minister and cabinet were confirmed by Parliament. On December 17, 2009, he was given a mandate by President Traian Băsescu to form a new government, afterwards receiving the vote of confidence from parliament.
On 6 February 2012, Boc submitted his resignation to the president, citing the need to "defuse political and social tension" over austerity cuts.[1]

Personal life[link]
Emil was born to Ioan and Ana Boc in the village of Răchiţele, commune Mărgău, Cluj County; he has three older brothers (Ioan, Gheorghe, and Traian) and one sister (Dorina). Emil Boc and his wife Oana, a university lecturer whom he married in July 1994, have two daughters, Cezara and Patricia. He and his family belong to the Romanian Orthodox Church.[2]
Political career[link]
Boc's entrance into mainstream Romanian politics was in 2003, when he was elected executive president of the Democratic Party; he had been proposed by Traian Băsescu. His original job was to define clearly the Democratic Party's identity so that it would not be confused with the National Liberal Party.[3]
Mayor of Cluj-Napoca[link]
He assumed the position of mayor after the 2004 election victory against the far right nationalist Gheorghe Funar, who had been mayor of Cluj-Napoca for twelve years. In that election, Funar lost out in the first round to both Boc and the Social Democratic Party candidate Ioan Rus. Boc went on to defeat Rus in a run-off election. In the 2008 election, Boc received 76.2% of the vote, avoiding a second round.[4] He almost died in May 2006 because of a bad fall during a TV show.[5]

Following the 2008 legislative elections, the Democratic Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party joined forces to form a government. President Traian Băsescu initially nominated Theodor Stolojan as Prime Minister, but, following Stolojan's withdrawal, on December 15 Boc was nominated as head of government and was confirmed by Parliament on December 22, 2008.
Boc's government fell after a vote of no confidence in the Parliament on October 13, 2009.[6] The vote followed the collapse of his ruling coalition, which was caused by his ousting of Dan Nica, the interior minister.[7] Boc acted as interim Prime Minister until a new government was to take charge. The opposition parliamentary groups proposed Klaus Iohannis as a candidate, but President Traian Băsescu nominated Lucian Croitoru, and after his failing to obtain the Parliament confirmation for his government, he nominated Liviu Negoiţă. Eventually, Boc was reinstated as Prime Minister after the presidential elections ended with the victory of incumbent president Traian Băsescu who supported him.
On 6th February 2012, Boc resigned from office amid ongoing anti-austerity protests.

Mircea Badea (born Mircea Radu Badea February 24, 1974 in Bucharest) is a Romanian political satirist, television host, media critic, radio personality and occasional actor. He is widely known as host of În gura presei (The Talk of The Press), a show based on the daily news, that airs on Antena 3.
Badea started as a radio host, but later branched into television as a co-host of the Tele 7 abc Bună dimineața, România (Good Morning, Romania) morning show. Together with Bună dimineața, România co-host Teo Trandafir, he went on to work for the Intact Media Group and host a show on Antena 1, called Dimineaţa devreme (Early morning), and then hosted another show on Antena 1 called Teo şi Mircea Şou (Teo & Mircea Show). He has also had several film roles as an actor. Badea became the host of În gura presei on Antena 3 in late 2004. Together with longtime friend Călin Stanciu, he is a co-executive-producer of the show. After Badea started În gura presei, he steadily gained popularity and critical acclaim, which also led to enduring controversy and resentment amongst various Romanian media personalities.
Badea has gained significant acclaim as an acerbic, satirical critic of Romanian politics and Romanian media outlets, in particular the coverage of Realitatea TV, Evenimentul Zilei or România Liberă. In spite of its self-professed satire mandate, În Gura Presei and Badea himself have been nominated for a number of entertainment, news and journalism awards.

Early life[link]
Badea was born in 1974 in Bucharest and attended the Tudor Vianu National High School of Computer Science in the early 90s. After graduating, he enrolled as a computer science student at the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest. Jana Gheorghiu, a very well known Romanian journalist and a family friend, got him his first job as a radio host in the early 90s.
In 2009 he won an APTR (Romanian Association for Television Programs) award, category "One Man Show".[1]
Filmography[link]
Throughout his career, Mircea Badea has made cameos in various Romanian movies. He mentioned his role in the 1999 Sergiu Nicolaescu-directed Triunghiul morţii (Death Triangle) saying he appeared in the movie because he had serious financial difficulties and was in need of money.[2]
- Oglinda (1993)
- Triunghiul morţii (1999)
- Pitici şi tătici (TV series) - 2003
- Milionari de weekend (2004)
Political stance[link]
He is a frequent critic of president Traian Băsescu, who in turn made a video clip ridiculing Badea. The video clip begins with president Basescu saying "it's raining outside", followed by a long diatribe of an actor looking like Badea complaining that the rain is supported by taxpayers' money.[3] Badea aired a response the same day, which turned the satire on its head by asking a long series of politically inconvenient questions for the president, to which the "it's raining outside" presidential non-answer is played back.[4] The exchange has received widespread media coverage.[5][6]
Trivia[link]
- He fought against the Romanian pugilist Leonard Doroftei on an Antena1 TV charity show
- Follows martial artists and practices some as hobby as well as holding a rubber bullet gun licence
- Is a big fan of Lucian Bute
- Doesn't like the month of December due to its demands on his professional life and the over the top celebrations
