youth day

Romania’s leftist opposition party leader Victor Ponta will offer discount cards to new members of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), on May 2, when Romania celebrates youth day, people close to the matter told MEDIAFAX Tuesday.

The Romanian Parliament commission looking into the Youth Day scandal recommended on Thursday that the prime minister dismisses youth minister Monica Iacob Ridzi and requested her prosecution on charges of embezzlement and abuse of office.

Romanian youth minister Monica Iacob Ridzi said Wednesday before the Parliament inquiry committee that she has asked the Financial Guard to check the two companies which organized the Youth Day festivities.
