Of course you won’t. That would require for them to actually be mistreated. Bunch of entitled cunts, the lot of them.
Well…from now on they might really be mistreated.
Eastern europe is neither bowing nor addressing us with “your highness” and we won’t take it anymore.
Complaints will be submitted to the commission!
I really hope they will, from now on. I’m switching banks and tell everyone to do the same, and not fill up their car’s tanks at Moll.
Austria is a place I‘m fond of but anyone with a basic knowledge can see this isn’t true. If anything, large Austrian companies exploit the Romanian people with the help of local corrupted politicians.
My only conception as to why the ÖVP led Austrian coalition would vote in this way is that the government wants to appear tough on migration but knows that even the most conservative voters would be annoyed at having to still clear voter control when they go on holiday in Croatia. Romania is simply an undeserving victim of this, now taking more attention when that was never the short sighted aim of the Austrian government.
I truly hope Romanians see that most are confused by this choice and that the vast majority of the EU wants them to enjoy the same benefits as everyone else.
> Erste Group is a European company – and a Central European company in particular. For us, #believeineurope is not just a phrase, it is an expression of our deeply held convictions. It’s not just about the fact that we believe in Europe, it’s about the fact that we support Europe and defend the European idea. This is especially true today, when a decision of the JHA Council has a direct impact on more than 5,000 of my colleagues and more than 2.8 million of our customers in Romania.

We assume that the Austrian government has weighed this step very carefully and we respect the fact that it must also take into account security concerns.

Our common goal must therefore be to find a workable solution quickly. At Erste Group, we want to and will make our contribution to this goal, so we call on political leaders at all levels to take responsibility for finding a solution.

I suspect Austria will invade Romania shortly to liberate Austrian companies.
As a German it warms my heart to see another EU boogeyman for a while 🙂
What does there companies have to do with Schengen ?
God damm this seems more and more like this :„ we veto them maybe they will change the offshore law , let’s pressure them , we need that oil , WE NEED DAHT MUNNEY!!!!”

Nope, because you can’t prove lies.

Probably not. Here’s for example [how the Austrian banks have reacted to the recent boycott proposal](https://www.digi24.ro/stiri/economie/bani-afaceri/reactia-bancilor-austriece-la-apelul-lui-rares-bogdan-de-boicotare-a-afacerilor-din-romania-2178331). Their messages offer some relevant insight into the relations between Romania and Austria:
