Romania's wine producers destroy themselves
The long-established Romanian winery Murfatlar has filed for bankruptcy. It made the mistake of putting all its marketing grapes in the local basket, writes Guran Moise in the business blog Biziday: "Why has the company filed for bankruptcy? Because it could no longer pay its debts with the money it took in. ... The company grew quicker than is allowed, and had one of the most aggressive marketing strategies in recent years among Romanian wine producers. ... The majority of Romania's wine is exported at extremely low prices of one to two euros per litre. That is simply unprofitable, and the wineries have failed to use their advertising budgets to become better known abroad. They wasted it by attacking each other here on the local market, which in any case is too small for the amount of wine produced in Romania. The insolvency of Murfatlar, which was the most aggressive in this strategy, is a clear signal to the others."

Opposition wrong to demand new elections
After the resignation of Prime Minister Emil Boc, the process of forming a government under Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu, the prime minister appointed on Monday, is already in full swing. His cabinet has yet to be confirmed by parliament, however the opposition is calling for fresh elections despite the fact that regular parliamentary elections are already slated for autumn. The opposition overestimates its powers, writes Moise Guran in the blog portal BiziDay: "They plan to reject the new cabinet, but forget that the Romanians don't want them but someone else to lead the country. Ponta and Antonescu [the leaders of the major opposition parties PSD and PNL] are taking a big risk. They will be held responsible for the political instability that is already making itself felt. Ungureanu will presumably fail to win the first vote in parliament. But in the second vote, just when the opposition leaders think the fresh elections they so much want are right around the corner, they will suffer a bitter political defeat because they lack a majority. Because just as you can ride on the wave of dissatisfaction, you can also drown in it."
