True or False?

Pentru cei care asculta stirile politice, nu ar trebui sa fie o surpriza. E campanie prezidentiala si multi dintre candidatii pentru postul de pres se intrec intre campanii de bun simt, atacuri perfide si dezinformari de principiu.

Crin cel finutz a inceput sa contraatace ideea unui parlament unicameral, sustinand ca, din 2012 (sau 2013, nu mai stiu exact), toate statele membre ale Uniunii Europene vor fi obligate sa aiba parlamente bicamerale .

Din categoria Ba p'a m*tii, va prezint rezultatul unei bune informari. Cu dedicatie din partea Biroului de Informare al Comisiei Europene, raspunsul oficial la intrebarea "E adevarat ca...?":

/DE-210208-28-C

13. Question:
Hello,



I am a Romanian student and, though I am not politically involved, I follow the political activity in my country. As you may know, we are currently in the Presidential Campaign. As well, the current President, Mr. Basescu, called for a referendum on November 22nd, on the same day as the first voting round.

The referendum is about cutting down the number of MP in the Romanian Parliament and about the possibility of making it a Unicameral Parliament as well.

One of the other presidential candidates insists that the European Commission introduced a directive that ALL the European countries' Parliaments should be Bicameral.

Until now, I haven't found anything regarding such a directive. Will you please point out where I can find it or anything closely related to it. It will help with the debate we are having at school.



Thank you.

PE SCURT: NU E ADEVARAT!!!!!!!!!!



LATER EDIT:
Da, am folosit timpul trecut. Acum am trimis inca o intrebare Biroului de Informare al Comisiei Europene, pentru a acoperi si viitorul apropiat.
Da, am incercat sa trimit la ziare, dar nu vor cu nici un chip sa publice aceste informatii.

Si, da, multumesc de comentarii. Coming soon cu partea a II-a

  1. eu stiu ca e o recomandare ca parlamentul sa fie bicameral, o camera pentru probleme interne, alta pentru cele externe, europene, dar totul e negociabil...

  2. Nu m-am documentat in privinta asta dar am impresia ca tu ai intrebat despre ceva situatia de acum in timp ce Antonescu vorbeste de o directiva din viitor.

    Adică Antonescu vede în viitor (as in Nostradamus && Back to the future). Înc-un motiv pentru care să fie ales, nu ?

  6. Priete,
    Esti bun. Ai avut o idee care te plaseaza deasupra a doi candidati la alegerile prezindentiale, clasati in primele 3 pozitii. Keep working...
