Massive Protests in Bucharest Against Far-Right Presidential Candidate Călin Georgescu

Massive Protests Erupt in Bucharest Over Presidential Election Results In a significant display of political dissent, over 1,000 young Romanians congregated in University Square, situated in the heart of Bucharest, to express their solidarity with European values while chanting, “Putin, don’t forget, Romania is not yours.” The protests were ignited by the unexpected triumph of Călin Georgescu, a…

Young Romanians protest outcome of presidential first round vote

Over 1,000 youths gathered in Bucharest, protesting against far-right nationalist candidate Calin Georgescu, who won 23% in the first round of Romania's presidential election.

More than 1,000 young people gathered in University Square, the city centre of Bucharest, praising Europe and chanting, "Putin, don't forget, Romania is not yours".

The demonstrations were sparked by the victory of a Kremlin-friendly far-right nationalist independent candidate, Calin Georgescu, in the first round of the presidential elections.

A little-known politician prior to Sunday's unexpected win, Georgescu shocked the nation after winning 23% of the votes following a campaign ran almost exclusively on TikTok, where many of his videos went viral.

He denied accusations of extremist beliefs despite his prior support for the fascist World War II unit, Iron Guards, and Nazi collaborationist dictator Ion Antonescu.

From Barcelona to the Black Sea in the hunt for marine litter

As part of the DOORS Early-Stage Researcher Exchange (ESRE) programme, Leidy Castro from the Maritime Engineering Laboratory of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech (LIM / UPC) and the Universitat de Barcelona (UB), undertook a collaborative research project with GeoEcoMar (GEM) in Romania, aimed at tackling marine litter in the Black Sea.

Leidy’s research proposal was titled "Analysis of spatial distribution of marine litter pollution in the western Black Sea through numerical model integration and in situ measurements.” The exchange was supervised by Dr. Iulian Pojar Vintilă of GeoEcoMar and began at their facilities in Bucharest to learn about to learn about microplastic sample treatment, digestion, and final counts.

She says, “I had the pleasure of sharing time with Teodora, who guided me through all the laboratory processes. Following this, I joined an oceanographic expedition aboard the R/V Mare Nigrum from Constanța, led by Dr. Dan Vasilu as Chief Scientist. The team of researchers onboard was very welcoming and taught me about all the processes and measurements involved in a scientific oceanographic campaign.”

The research addresses the pressing issue of marine litter pollution in the Black Sea, focusing on both microplastics and macroplastics. In addition to the surface microplastic (plastics smaller than 5mm) sampling, the team conducted observations of microplastics (plastics greater than 5mm) from the bow of the ship during specific transects between predefined stations. This allowed them to gather in situ data on plastic density per square kilometre and identify possible "hotspots" of marine litter accumulation. These findings can be compared with numerical model predictions, specifically using the LOCATE model adapted for the Black Sea. The ultimate goal is to create a baseline of current pollution levels and to validate models that predict the movement and final destination of marine litter. This is crucial for decision-makers to develop strategies that prevent further accumulation and contamination of both open waters and coastal areas.

This is just one example where we have matched early stage research interests with the scientific work ongoing in the project. This summer we have funded and supported 5 other placements through the DOORS Early-Stage Researcher Exchange (ESRE). This is an international programme of collaborative research mobility activities, to foster and deepen connections within and between Black Sea countries, and international partners across Europe.

The placements have covered a range of topics supporting students from universities all over Europe:

Olga Schmitz (Germany)- Collaborative Initiative for Enhanced Water Quality Monitoring in the Black Sea Region.

Leidy Maricela Castro Rosero (Spain) -  Analysis of spatial distribution of marine litter pollution in the western Black Sea through numerical model integration and in situ measurements.

Tatiana Sitchinava (Georgia) - Towards Sustainable Coastal Communities: Understanding and Mitigating Marine Litter in Romania’s Black Sea Beaches.

Alessandro Galdelli (Italy) - Advancing Marine Research through Strategic Collaboration: Integrating Cutting-edge Algorithm for Enhanced Fishing Effort Estimation in the Black Sea,

Florin Miron (Romania) - Analysing Coastal Hydrodynamics and Discharge at River Mouths: The Impact of Winds and Waves on Hydrological Processes Using SWOT Satellite Data,

Sofia Sadogurska (Ukraine) -  Taxonomic studies of the Black Sea brown algae (Phaeophyceae, Heterokontophyta).

Remarking on her placement, Leidy said “This experience has been incredibly meaningful to me, both personally and professionally. It was my first time seeing the Black Sea, which holds special significance as I've spent the past three years studying it from behind a computer screen. Being part of this oceanographic expedition allowed me to witness first-hand the marine environment I've been modelling for so long, making the research more tangible and real. I learned a lot about the logistics and challenges of conducting an oceanographic campaign and was able to build valuable connections with fellow researchers and fellow cruisers like Bianca, Mihaela (both of them), Rok, Sorin, Stefano, and others. The warmth and support from both the scientific team and the ship’s crew made this experience truly memorable.”

Changing conditions in interwar Romania, as documented by Jewish-Romanian photographer Iosif Berman 

Iosif Berman (1892-1941) was a photojournalist in the interwar period, working for several outlets including Dimineaţa and Adevărul. When the government of Octavian Goga shut down left-wing newspapers in Romania, his negatives were seized, but he continued his work under pseudonyms, supplying photographs to the international press.

After a series of anti-Jewish laws were enacted by the fascist National Legionary State — which ironically used his photos in its own propaganda — Berman was banned from working altogether. He died the following year, 1941, at the age of 49.

             Vila Mathilda of Bucharest in Romania.

      ~ Mathilda Villa was built especially, at the exclusive request of Mathilda Rădoi, between 1896 and 1897, at a time when very few women owned property. Located in the heart of Bucharest, near the University Square, Batiștei Street, the National Theater and the Rosetti - Armenian Square area, this beautiful villa was built according to the plans of the architect NC Michăescu (1863-1934) and decorated by the architect A. Clavel (1875-1916) together with the painter Ştefan Luchian (1868-1916). The building is representative of the eclectic style of the late nineteenth century, retains decorative elements originally or restored in 1983.

The interior layout of the new house is in line with the liberal profession of the owner: he had an office on the ground floor, with direct access from the entrance, the living room and dining room being set back to the courtyard. In the basement there was a living room (summer), kitchen, laundry, pantry, servants' room, wine and wood cellars, space for flowers. The surface of the ground floor was 233 m.p., and that of the partial floor of only 104 m.p. Here were designed 3 bedrooms for the children of the Rădoi family.

In connection with the decoration of the house, the collaboration between the architect Alexandru Clavel and the painter Ștefan Luchian, good friends, is recorded. Ștefan Luchian was the first cousin of Mathilda, his father, Dimitrie Luchian being the brother of Gheorghe Luchian, her father. The connection between the two cousins ​​was close, with at least four portraits of Mathilda made by her cousin being preserved.

The main entrance is distinguished by carved glass windows, a rich plaster decor and decorated ceilings.

    The reception hall was decorated with floral and natural motifs, bearing the signature of Stefan Luchian above one of the doors, being engraved in 1987. In Matilda's living room, Luchian exhibits his mastery: he painted horizontally combed plaster, resulting in a false tapestry effect that completely turns into light. The ceiling is also his work - light pastels and transparencies of muses and angels. The stained glass windows in Poland, the oak paneling and a niche that corresponds symmetrically to the one in the adjoining hall complete the room in a happy way.

   Architect Mihăescu is the one who designed and built prestigious buildings in Bucharest. In 1908 he designed the School House and the Church House (today the headquarters of the Ministry of Education) in Gen. Henri Berthelot no. 11. Between 1908–1911 he also built the Boteanu Church. Other private homes in Bucharest are: Stoenescu house on Lascăr Catargiu Boulevard but also "Mița Biciclista" house. He also worked as a restorer of religious monuments (Văratec, Agapia, Neamț, Hurezi and Căldărușani) and had a university career, being a teacher at the School of Architecture, between 1898-1934.

   The developed surface of the property is 932.25sqm, arranged as follows: basement: 238 sqm, ground floor: 238, 1st floor: 146 sqm. The total land area is 1242.15 sqm

Within a radius of about 500 m away from this beautiful property are the University of Bucharest, the Intercontinental Hotel, the National Theater, embassies and prestigious institutions. In the immediate vicinity are also a number of tourist attractions and only: the historic centre, cafes, pubs and bistros, street festivals, bookstores, high schools and universities. ~
