- Our reporters returned to the city of Timisoara, the cradle of the Romanian revolution of December 1989 that overthrew the Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. Although Romania remains the poorest country in the European Union today, the cosmopolitan city of Timisoara is enjoying an economic boom and will be European Capital of Culture in 2021.

Thanks to our beloved Timisoara , Romania it's free but what romanians have endured during communism its beyond imagination
I never saw in my life a video of Timisoara where it shows the city so poor!!! NEVER! I'm not saying that those places doesn't exist, but I have been in Paris few times in holiday and I can bet you that I can show you Paris in a worst way if I will record only the bad parts.
BTW, why you don't show also that many western companies, French companies, like Carrefour etc install shops and businesses in my country? Many people think that Romania takes from UE found money more than they give back. It's true, but remember that is a reason why Romania and others get in the UE and is not for compassion, but for interest.
BTW Romania dind't go to any country to conquer, kill people, still the oil or gold etc to became rich. We are not even selling weapons to countries to have a war and then complain about them that they are bad people.
Correct my friend. This discourse of "they get more money from the EU than they give back" is told not only about Romania but about the whole central-eastern block and also about Italy, Spain and Portugal.
What the western EU countries forget is that their companies are expanding In this country's and using this to make themselves wealthier
Traveler Experience l agree with you.
'Toaks' is the most amateurish pronunciation possible but the spelling of the pastor's name onscreen is even worse.
Businesses are struggling to find workers not only because 4 mil people emigrated, this is just a small part of the overall general issue of finding workers, there are also a lot more available vacant job positions now than they were 15-20 years ago. These vacant job position are also more diverse than they were 15-20 years ago, and there are some in particular that require more workers than others. This issue will never disappear as long as a country is constantly growing economically, you have to counter balance this with high birth rates and high education(long term) or immigration or automation (short term). Also there is need to be a balance between high education and low education because of the risk of not finding workers for specific jobs that require one or the other. High education would be to perfect because no one would want to work the less desired, "less brain activity jobs" which are also very very important.
Poverty is real in all the major capitals of europe aswell, some ghettos in Brussels and London you wont come out in one piece! Now how about something nice about Romania! Why always focusing on the negative aspects!
FREEDOM
Wow. What an interesting story. Well done
And very sad, i'm afraid, The truth is elsewere
The pastor's name not is László Tockes !!!! is Tőkés!!!
Yes...but I still can't his arrogance & selfish own presentation
In fact he did nothing for the revolution 1989
Only BS
Thanks. This is our next invitation. Before leaving the continent. I want to pay my respects to these life long fighters.
I will make some remarks: as you have seen there is a historical multi- cultural region. In my opinion that managed to bring the victory. And of course the hatred of all kind of anti- multicultural but totalitarianism lovers. As a victorious anti-communist and pro-democracy revolution also the hate of other authoritarian Communists.
In my opinion there are very important informations missing: like the secret communist police kidnapping and burning 40 bodies.
But more important the EU kept monitoring the Romanian justice. Never asked why? The revolutionaries and the civil activists had fought for 30 years to bring to justice the Communists guilty of repression crimes after the execution of the Ceausescu couple. When they managed it was too late. More than that others guilty of political crimes were not convicted. Don't worry NATO is doing even better.
You were interested in the working class but not in the young very EU middle class. If you only have a working class and billionaires with an enormous gap instead of the middle class you won't ever have a functional democracy.
PS a French journalist was also killed in the Timisoara revolution. His name is worn by a public French language school.
And my deepest respect for the new EU chief prosecutor, Mrs. L. C. Kovesi.
I hear french, I hear german, I didn't think those languages were spoken in Romania anymore.
The city needs more diversity to make it better, like a french one.
Romania didn't have an Algerian war, no colonial Empire, no African, Maghreb or Asian occupations subsequently no nationals of non- European origin.
Dupa 30 de ani sa mai spui ca a fost o revolutie inseamna ca esti dus cu pluta si n-ai inteles nimic din ce s-a intamplat...
