Repairs have begun on the Bulgarian side of the Friendship Bridge from Giurgiu – Ruse
Repairs started today on the Bulgarian side of the Friendship Bridge from Giurgiu – Ruse, and traffic is carried out on a single lane, alternatively, in a traffic light system. Because of this, the traffic at the border crossing point between Romania and Bulgaria has become congested.
The Giurgiu – Ruse Friendship Bridge over the Danube is one of the most used for freight traffic, but in summer it is preferred by Romanians who go on vacation by car to the neighboring country, Greece or Turkey. Data centralized by the online Traffic application of the Romanian Border Police show that there is a wait of about an hour both in the lanes intended for cars and those for freigh, in both directions of entry and exit from Romania. In order to streamline the traffic, in Giurgiu both the control arteries and the number of border policemen carrying out their activity in the control of travel documents will be supplemented up to the maximum capacity allowed by the infrastructure of the border crossing points. However, it is recommended to use all the crossing points on the Romanian-Bulgarian border.

Survey: Over 70% of Romanians think they are exposed to fake news
More than 70% of Romanians believe that they are exposed, to a greater or lesser extent, to fake news, according to a survey published today. At the same time, almost half of the respondents are convinced that the mass media do not fully report the important events that took place at the planetary level.
More than 48% of the Romanian population is convinced that many very important things happen in the world that ordinary people are never informed about, and a similar percentage believes that politicians usually do not present the real reasons behind the decisions they make. Also, over 45% of Romanians totally agree with the idea that there are secret organizations that influence political decisions, and just over 30% declare themselves convinced that the results of elections in democratic countries are controlled and do not reflect the vote of the population. At the same time, more than half of those interviewed show an appetite for conspiracy theories and claim that seemingly unrelated events are the result of secret activities.
The opinion poll was conducted in June by INSCOP Research, commissioned by the News.ro press agency, on a sample of 1,100 people, with a maximum allowed data error of +/- 2.95%./aionita
