—❗️🇷🇴/🇲🇩 President of the Romanian Academy:
This is the most important moment in our history. We can now begin the process of unification with the Republic of Moldova.
I am truly angry. I cannot understand this. More than ever, I'm convinced there's a hidden battle that is being fought every day, whether we're aware or not. We ourselves participate in that fight with our actions, and that fight is spiritual.
There are things that make no sense unless we understand there's a Death Culture being implemented in Western Europe under the guise of slogans that most people would'nt deem offensive.
In Spain specifically, to approve this law, people were told that it would be applied only to people under an incurable and unbearable suffering.
People in the terminal stage of their illness were put as an example. People suffering in their last days of life that would be shortened in order to, thus, shorten their suffering. I would have never supported this law even under these conditions. However, we have been taken from that idea to this reality.
We are witnessing a person who could clearly overcome her current mental difficulties being led toward death due to a form of mental suffering that was never intended to justify such a decision. State, society, family. All failed to her. Now, the system intends to "compensate" it by offering her to die. It's completely demonic.
These abominations must be rejected.
Faith must prevail.
🇪🇸 A young Spanish woman will be euthanized today, after a group of illegal migrants gang-raped her while she was in state care
In 2022, the teenager Noelia Castillo Ramos placed in a state institution amid family difficulties and placed in a state-run home together with North African migrant minors where she was raped by them.
The trauma broke her.
Months later, Noelia attempted suicide by jumping from the 5th floor. She survived, but the fall left her paraplegic.
The rapists were never arrested and remain free.
Instead of delivering justice or adequate long-term support, the authorities offered assisted suicide as the solution. Today, March 26, 2026, Noelia Castillo Ramos will be euthanized.
The system that failed to protect her is now "solving the problem" by ending her life

—⚡️🇷🇴 NEW: Romania deployed one of Europe's largest operational Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks, powered by IonQ technology.
➡️ It spans over 1,500 km with 36 quantum-secured links, connecting major cities including Bucharest, Iași, Timișoara, Craiova, Cluj-Napoca, and Constanța and securing critical sectors like government, healthcare, research, and infrastructure.
➡️ Any attempt to intercept or eavesdrop on the quantum channel disturbs the system and is immediately detectable, making the keys theoretically unbreakable by current or near-future computing (including quantum computers that could break classical encryption).

➡️ We're reproducing his words below:
You should give a broader picture. He was replying to ethnic Albanian members of the parliament and they were arguing why Macedonian ministers don’t bring translators when getting interviews by Albanian journalists. He replied that there is no need for translators because official language in the country is Macedonian which the journalists must respect, and is trying to learn Albanian to understand it without the need of translator, same as English and German.
The debate came into the spotlight after an ethnic Albanian journalist, with limited command of Macedonian, addressed the Minister of Education in an overly informal way, asking whether she had brought a translator using language typically reserved for friends or relatives. The remark was widely seen as inappropriate. Following the incident, the journalist was removed from his position at the ethnic Albanian outlet.
