The economic situation of Romania is due to the international crisis only 20%, the Romanian state reaching bankruptcy , said the economic analyst Ilie Serbanescu during the Coface Romania. “ Out of the whole situation of the country, 20% is due to the crisis. It is a political matter. There is no perspective. If we come back to what we had, the situation is harder than that. The international crisis emphasized what Romania had to pay. The damage cannot be recovered.

We have 90 billion euro debts. 60-70 billion euro is not ours, but belong to the companies which came to Romania. They financed their extension with money from the parent companies. When they had to pay, the Romanian state had to take loans of 20 billion euro to bring money on the market for each foreigner and especially for banks. The Romania state is finished, it is bankrupt. The whole attempt of IMF to blame the state for something the state didn’t do. It was robbed” Serbanescu said.

Spain’s car industry was entirely paralysed with the exception of the Mercedes plant in Vitoria, and transport stoppages caused severe disruption. Ignacio Fernandez Toxo, head of the country’s CCOO trade union, said premier Jose Luis Zapatero was committing “political suicide” by carrying out harsh cuts while unemployment hovers at 20pc, or 41pc for youths.
