“Although the action was organized by an important trade union structure, CSN Meridian, the topic under analysis was not dedicated only to employees, but to all representatives of Romanian society, including employer structures.  (…) This time the candidates refrained from launching party ideologies, and largely expressed their vision, based on practice in European institutions and beyond, for the promotion and support of national interests in the mentioned fields. Mining, Rail Transport, Payroll, Public Administration, Pension System were among the main topics discussed, and the candidates wanted to demonstrate that they are on their agenda in the upcoming European Parliament.”
