Cum nu m-a lasat sotia mea, fotografa Cristina Nichitus Roncea, sa apar cu un mic comentariu in New York Times (ziarul cu un milion de exemplare vandute in intreaga lume si 30 de milioane accesari pe luna)? Simplu: cand avea timp in programul sau corespondentul NYT eu trebuia sa o ajut la instalarea expozitiei Precum in Cer de la Palatul Sutu – inca deschisa pana pe 30 ianuarie -, asa ca a trebui sa-l refuz. Oricum, relatarea redactorului de politica internationala al NYT reflecta realitatea romanesca, drept pentru care merita felicitat (de exemplu, plaseaza numar manifestantilor USL la 7000 si nu la 20.000, cat sustineau televiziunile Coalitiei anti-Basescu, Antena 3, Realitatea si Romania TV). Ce observatie interesanta face redactorul NYT, Nicholas Kulish, fata de protestele din Piata Universitatii: “Many of the same broad themes have been voiced by demonstrators in countries as diverse as Israel and India, from the “indignados,” or outraged, in Spain to the Occupy Wall Street protests that started in New York and spread around the world.“. Interesant, nu? Parca asta ziceam si eu 🙂
Iata relatarea din New York Times:
Romanian Protesters Urge Government’s Ouster
BUCHAREST, Romania — Thousands of protesters gathered in Romania’s capital on Thursday to demand the ouster of the government and new elections, as a week of demonstrations against far-reaching austerity measures and years of difficult reforms seemed to gain strength.
Economic frustrations have spilled into the streets here, as they have in Spain and Greece. Protesters in University Square downtown shouted chants calling for the resignation of President Traian Basescu and his ally, Prime Minister Emil Boc.
