Hoy es el Día Nacional de #Rumania, en conmemoración de la Gran Unión de 1918, cuando Transilvania, Besarabia y Bukovina se sumaron al Reino.

De todas formas lo celebramos con un hilo sobre este país, mucho, mucho más allá de Drácula 🇷🇴 ImageImageImage
La historia de la Rumania moderna empieza después de esa súper guerra entre el Imperio Otomano y todos los que se vengan (también conocida como guerra ruso-turca) de 1877-78.

Igual que #Serbia, #Bulgaria y #Montenegro, Rumania empezó a ser un país con la derrota turca. ImageImageImage
Todo marchaba relativamente bien en el Reino de Rumania incluso con la Primera Guerra, porque, a diferencia de Bulgaria, quedó del lado ganador. Y ¡zas! de pronto el reino se hizo con muchas tierras... de ahí la unidad que se celebra hoy.

Y pasó de esto a esto: ImageImage

Some feel that #NATO is returning to the scene of the crime today: the Palace of the Parliament in #Bucharest.

It was here in 2008 that George W. Bush strong-armed European allies into declaring that #Ukraine & #Georgia "will become members of NATO". apnews.com/article/russia…
Whether or not the Bush-pushed 2008🇺🇦🇬🇪#NATO accession declaration in #Bucharest needlessly antagonised🇷🇺or was preparation for Putin's inevitable expansion plans is a hot debate.

Either way, that NATO is here 14 years later dealing with a war in Europe is a poignant full circle
#NATO statement just issued at #Bucharest summit:

"We remain steadfast in our commitment to #Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. We will never recognise Russia’s illegal annexations, which blatantly violate the UN Charter." nato.int/cps/en/natohq/…

Trying to escape the endless heat of the Maltese Summer, we found ourselves looking for some lower temperatures in #Romania. Not your typical #Ferragosto destination but here comes a 🧵on a proper millennial-style trip in #Bucharest (1/9)
If you don't know much about the city and its past, your first conclusion would be that the city is kinda abandoned. However, the real story is fundamentally different. This is a city that saw the darkness and it's now trying to embrace the future -and that takes time (2/9)
While it's hard to ignore the neglected buildings, some of them of magnificent architectural value, it's also easy to observe the great potential of the city. Greener than many other #EU capitals, Bucharest is catching up super fast with all current trends of urban mobility (3/9)

I kindly request German & Romanian Police forces to arrest the criminal judge of #Iran's Islamic Regime, Gholamreza Mansouri. He is responsible for taking relatives of my friend Saeed Karimian as hostage back in 2012. He is also probably involved in assassination of my friend. Image
Few days ago, #GholamrezaMansouri was photographed in #Frankfurt and now there is a rumor that he has fled to #Romania trying to seek asylum in embassy of #Iran's Islamic Regime in #Bucharest. This man is responsible for imprisonment of tens of #Iranian journalists. Image

We strongly denounce the systematic efforts of those who attack Europeans with Asian origins over #coronavirus. This disgusting #racist & #xenophobic rhetoric divides our people & stands to threaten our shared European values. #JeNeSuisPasUnVirus @KMTaylorBerlin @MPriv_o @_LICRA_ Image

Racist memes target Chinese eating habits, but the real causes of the coronavirus are more mundane.
