Too bad that Romania couldn't evolve șo fast like Est Germany, we were so indoctrinated with the comunist thinking... Even now at we have comunist people running the country...
Too much corruption..., this year even Bulgaria has moved to Euro (as money), and we were rejected again.
All prices are in EURO, and we are paid in RON. 🤬😡🤬😡

Euro is a ponzi scheme. Count your blessings you are not in the eurozone. The people in frankfurt and Brussels are not your friends.
Once you join the eurozone, you are done.
I know it's a double-edged sword, but at the same time you have to eat, and when all the prices are in Euros and you get paid in RON, it makes a big difference. I don't know if you know, but 1Euro=5RON
My entire salary it's about 5000RON, that's 1000EURO
Fellow East-block pleb here.
I'd say that live-tv execution of the dictator was a great start. My country didn't have even that.
What was missing though was a great reckoning. Every commie from top to bottom should have been tared and feathered. Same for police, courts, the fucking border guards etc. Everyone involved in the secret police should have been hung on a lam post and left there for a couple weeks.
What we (I mean the country I was born in) got was just a continuation of socialism. Politicians, police, courts, etc stayed the same. And some of them got even richer during the "privatization". The revolution in my country was, like all revolutions, just a sham sold to the sheep. 36 years later we happily accept Brussels's version of communism. We never learned the lesson. Never knew what freedom actually means. Then again, I suspect most people don't want freedom. I don't think they are not willing to pay the price. Hope I will be when the time comes...
