    ​The People’s Movement Party asks the Labour Minister to stop paying Romanians’ pensions through Austrian banks. In this regard, the political party sent an open letter to Marius Budăi.

    >Minister,
    >
    >Following Austria’s negative vote on Romania’s admission to Schengen, the People’s Movement Party asks you to put an end to the agreements concluded by the National Public Pensions House with Banca Commerciale Româna and Raiffeisen Bank for the payment of Romanians’ pensions.
    >
    >If you really want to show Austria that we are serious and that we are not willing to accept the poor treatment we receive, you have the opportunity to send a strong message to the Austrians and show them that their actions have consequences.
    >
    >We understand that both the PSD and the PNL are urging Romanians to boycott Austrian companies, but we believe that the Romanian state is not using the levers it has at its disposal in dealing with these companies.
    >
    >Boycott is a legitimate option for every citizen who feels offended by the defiant and arrogant attitude of the Austrians, and Austrian companies in Romania must feel that there are consequences of Vienna’s decision

    reads the open letter signed by Gheorghe Baciu, vice-president of PMP.

  5. Rumors that the Bucharest Chamber of Commerce instructed all members to switch banks with assets towards a billion moving. Unconfirmed.

  6. Yesterday Raiffeisen started to return money they stole to people who won a court battle in 2017. Today there was a story about Raiffeisen Bank started to offer 500 RON ( ±100 EUR ) to first 500 people applying for a new debit card, seems like something…

    LE: Oh… and this, also there are companies with capital from other EU countries joining [https://evz-ro.translate.goog/toate-companiile-cu-capital-romanesc-si-capital-strain-membre-rbc-anuleaza-colaborarea-cu-bancile-austriece-si-olandeze.html?_x_tr_sl=ro&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp](https://evz-ro.translate.goog/toate-companiile-cu-capital-romanesc-si-capital-strain-membre-rbc-anuleaza-colaborarea-cu-bancile-austriece-si-olandeze.html?_x_tr_sl=ro&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp)

  8. Why is closing their external borders – as it would not only be required by the Schengen rules, but also the EU treaty to which they are already subjected – not an option? Romania and Bulgaria are obviously trying to avoid responsibility for dealing the migrants and processing their asylum requests as required by the Dublin Rules. These countries – although Bulgaria actually appears to show at least some ambitions to fullfilling the requirements – are not willing to bear responsibilites and try to offload them to other countries.

  9. No! This is just cheap populism, clearly trying to pick up some easy votes.

    The boycott has to be driven by the civil society and business community.

    There are other levers at the political and diplomatic level, in relation to an EU state. Ones that our government should use without painting us as unstable and unpredictable to our external partners and investment community. Austria is clearly in the wrong, let’s not stoop to their level and white-wash their monstrously irrational decision.

    Besides, how would this even work? Pensioners with BCR and Raiffeisen accounts would no longer receive their pensions? That’s just retarded.
