There are many many many good things that happened all over the world in 2016.
There has been an ongoing international campaign to denigrate Romanians, for reasons unknown to us. For example, this year Sky news has produced a fake news documentary that showed that Romanians help terrorists get guns. This documentary proved to be fake and the people involved have been arrested. Unfortunately, this fact has not become widely known and most people of course only heard the fake news. This fact has been discussed in one of our articles.
We must point out, there is no perfect nation. There are good and bad people in every country. However, international media chooses to portray Romanians in a negative image. This has a negative impact on people’s lives, as they suffer discrimination at their work place, at school and even on the streets ( there have been cases of people being attacked on the streets in UK for speaking Romanian). For this reason, this website was created. This website aims to show that there are many wonderful Romanians out there, Romanians that win competitions, invent useful tools, save people, help people, that Romania is a beautiful, wonderful and very welcoming place for everyone.
