Romanian billionaire and former tennis player Ion Tiriac made earlier this week a surprising proposal regarding the immigrants’ crisis.
According to him, Romania has the necessary resources to receive immigrants. Moreover, each Romanian should give up EUR 50 from the salary for the refugees.
“They are starting to come now. Anyway, it is not a decision of Brussels, of Mrs. Merkel’s, it is Romanians’ decision. We have where, we can do it! Let’s give up 10% of our average salary of EUR 500 to welcome the first wave of 500, 1,000, 100,000 refugees,” Tiriac said at local TV station Realitatea TV.
According to him, a new wave of immigrants will come, and this one will be 10 times bigger.
Tiriac also suggested that the Americans are to blame for this crisis, because they are the ones who “opened Iraq to terrorism,” reports Ziare.com.
The businessman also talked about the Romanians living abroad, saying that something must be done to bring them back.
“Let’s see how we can bring them back, all those good professionals who have left, all those people who work to exhaustion for EUR 600-700. Let’s see how we can find 4 billion to give them jobs,” he said.
Romania gives more money to refugees.
More than half of Romanians believe that Romania should not receive refugees.

Apa Nova managers also charged with tax evasion in corruption scandal in Romania
Romania’s anticorruption prosecutors have added new tax evasion charges against the managers of Apa Nova, a company owned by French group Veolia, which manages the water supply and sewage systems in Bucharest.
Apa Nova has been involved in the past weeks in one of the biggest corporate corruption scandals in Romania, after the prosecutors found that the company’s managers bribed local officials to allow the company to increase the tap water price in Bucharest.
The company’s current and former directors, including French expats Laurent Lalague and Bruno Roche, also allegedly recorded fictitious invoices to lower the Apa Nova’s official profit and avoid paying some EUR 5.5 million in taxes, according to the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA)……………………..
Tiberiu Urdareanu, one of the most powerful Romanian businessmen, was brought in for questioning at the National Anticorruption Directorate – DNA’s headquarters on Thursday, October 29. He will have to answer to the prosecutors’ questions in a corruption case, but it is yet uncertain if he’s a suspect or just a witness in the case.
Tiberiu Urdareanu owns the UTI group of companies, one of the biggest players in the local IT&C and security market. Throughout the years, UTI has been awarded tens of important contracts by various state authorities and state-owned companies, according to Mediafax.
UTI has developed the electronic healthcare record system, the road vignette payment system, the electronic system for public acquisitions (SEAP), the Bucharest public transport card payment system, and many other projects. The group has also developed Bucharest’s fiberoptics network Netcity and is working on the electronic systems for Bucharest’s newest subway line (M5 to Drumul Taberei), and the airports in Iasi, Bacau, and Satu Mare.
The group has a turnover of EUR 130 million and over 2,000 employees. It also has operations in Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Azerbaijan, and targets the market in Albania, according to an interview Urdareanu gave to local Ziarul Financiar earlier this week.
Tiberiu Urdareanu is a member of the National Union for Romania’s Progress (UNPR), a political party led by deputy Prime Minister Gabriel Oprea.
