    Moody’s cut the outlook on Romania’s Baa3 score, the lowest investment-grade level, to negative from stable, the credit assessor said in a statement Friday, while affirming the rating. The move comes after S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings took similar decisions in January and December, respectively.

    The outlook change “reflects the risk that in the absence of the adoption of additional fiscal consolidation measures, Romania’s fiscal strength will significantly weaken in coming years,” Moody’s said.

    • Besides polarising society, the election turmoil has increased economic uncertainty in the EU's most indebted country, which has grappled with high inflation ...monospaced
    • Comparing the US to Romania hahahah

    “Hello to all of our MAGA friends,” Simion said Thursday on the “War Room” podcast hosted by Steve Bannon, a former Trump adviser and long-time cheerleader of international populists. “If all goes well,” Simion said, he would put Georgescu “back in the leadership of Romania.”

    George Simion, a nationalist who appears well placed to win the presidential election in Romania on Sunday, has promised to “Make Romania Great Again” and described himself as a “candidate on the MAGA ticket” of President Trump.

    French election meddling in Romania:

    This is what Western "democracy" and "freedom of speech" looks like today. EU already banned Călin Georgescu from running, after he won the first round, because of "Russian interference via TikTok", which was debunked.

    You may only vote for EU's pre-approved puppets who will work against your country's interests.

    Grafician, I saw that you posted on America is Fucked about America's credit rating. Bro, you're from a country with a borderline junk credit rating, and you're laughing at the U.S. for dropping one notch from perfect? That’s like a guy living in a cockroach motel mocking a penthouse owner for having a cracked window.

    Sure it's not good news for us to be downgraded, and our president is an idiot, but that doesn't mean Romania has changed from being the MySpace of countries, does it?

    • Keep telling you idiots you have no clue about politics and how the world works and you keep posting bullshit :))

    Much like their credit score, the lowest a country can have before falling off the map, Romania has a Tier 2 Watch List status for human trafficking, which is the lowest you can have before turning into a haven like Cambodia.

    At grafician, you say I woke up stupid today, yet you're Romanian and don't have a clue that Romania has had trafficking issues? Please tell me how... myself, wikipedia and every news outlet I saw are all stupid?

    And before you answer let me give you an example of a nonanswer that you've been running for a month now - "go back to making shitty amazon banners, you're a shitty designer, you know nothing about politics, you can't talk about anythig anymore because Donald Trump is your president, you're stupid."

    I think it's funny that while the truth is sitting in broad daylight for everyone to see, you try to make people believe it's not there. ("canoe woke up stupid")

    That's called gaslighting and it's a hallmark of Donald Trump, the guy you supposedly hate for acting the way he does. Wake the fuck up Gaffe your malaise is no crusade of what is warm and fuzzy in this world!

    except the US never congratulated him, just sent a vague "we will cooperate with the new president" message through the US embassy in Bucharest meanwhile the US ambassador retired all of a sudden :))

    The US wanted Simion as a puppet president, just like Pootin.

    Sorry, we don't elect clowns...

    • Can't wait for Poland to elect the Warsaw mayor Rafal as new President, then next year in Hungary we can get rid of Orban

    • Sorry, but when I say some people around here have no clue about politics, I do really mean it, as EU politics are too complicated for US people :)grafician
