Citizens with bank credits might be called to the bank for another set of papers to sign if Parliamentarians will bring modifications to the ordinance ruling on credit contracts. Elsewhere in the news, yesterday, 10,000 people were expected to protest downtown Bucharest but only 5,000 showed up. Another newspaper reads that unions used the support of revolutionary organizations to cause violent clashes with the police forces.
Gandul reads on Wednesday that millions of Romanians might be called to the banks once again, if parliamentarians decide to modify ordinance 50/2010 ruling on credit contracts. On the other hand, banks will have to spend even more to implement the changes.
Nonetheless, it is clear that any modification might impose changes on both banks and citizens alike, and these would bring implementation costs up. There are 7.7 million contracts which Romanians have with banks, leasing companies or other financial institutions.
Banks so far were fined with over 850,000 euro for not respecting the ordinance. On the other hand, people complain of: the refusal of banks to suspend the commission on risk, the refusal to return the risk commission already cashed in, the increase without reason of the interest rate, the introduction of a series of commissions without prior notification.
Evenimentul Zilei reads that the protest did not really have 10,000 people as initially announced and some 5,000 gathered downtown Bucharest. News televisions were well in advance present in the area where the protesters gathered.
The only victim in yesterday's protest was a citizen from Agrostar, who attempted to pass through the security lines set up by police forces in front of the Agriculture ministry.
