RE: Spotlight Festival Series: Atheneum And Kretzulescu Church Park
I wasn't aware the situation is so dire in Romania. How about the president, isn't he progressive and supportive of "normal values"?

He looks like he is, but the Romanian Constitution doesn't give him too much leverage. Romania is a Parliamentary democracy and while there are a few checks and balances in place (the President accepts / rejects the PM, etc) not much can be done if a big majority has the Parliament. Slowly, they assimilate a lot of civil structures, which otherwise should be independent, so yes, Romania is heading towards an autocracy (like Hungary and Poland)...
