it is time for taking distribution issues seriously. Romanian liberal democracy may be living on borrowed time

PAz shared a link.
Cornel Ban: "There are two big concerns at this point. One is that having been the party that was most damaged by prosecutions and jail sentences for graft, the PSD may attempt to weaken the anti-corruption arm of the state. However problematic some aspects of this function (such as the use of militarized wire-tapping), it would be distressing (and politically self-destructive fort he above mentioned reasons) to see it wrecked. The other concern is more serious even: since PSD is not a genuine labour party, but a cross between a Blairite and a socially conservative political construct with no serious opposition on the economic left, right-wing populist entrepreneurs could launch productive raids into the massive electorate displaced by the violence of Romania’s neoliberal dependent capitalism, the curtailment of freedom of movement and the risk of protectionism in developed economies. This is no time for self-congratulatory remarks about the Romanian liberal anomaly in an illiberal region. Instead, it is time for taking distribution issues seriously. Romanian liberal democracy may be living on borrowed time."
Unlike other eastern European countries, Romania is resisting the temptations of right-wing populism—at least for the time being.

Smaranda Dobrescu Avem de data asta si o explicatie a victoriei PSD in alegeri. Stanga e cea care la guvernare intrerupe lantul rational al drumului spre prosperitate. In mod plastic si deosebit de jignitor aflam ca incepe din nou, precum in 2012 o perioada a votanților dependenți de redistribuire cu o agendă din stomac. Cine ar putea sa o spuna mai dispretuitor decat un reprezentant important al BNR?
