​US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday gave a terrible blow to the double-faced policy promoted by Romania's governing coalition of Social Democrats and Liberals (USL), who are wearing a pro-Western mask before foreign officials and journalists while launching furious attacks on institutions and ignoring any economic reform when at home. Clinton held a tough speech in which she mentioned Romania along former USSR countries and Hungary as countries with democratic difficulties. The speech came a few days after European Commission officials had sent the least wanted message from Brussels, the Commission is unwilling to conclude a new precautionary accord along the IMF in 2013 because Romania has not fulfilled its promises in the current accord. The two pieces of news mean two things: Romania's access to funding will be more expensive, while investors are to avoid Romania.

The situation comes after only seven months of USL government in Romania, marked by weekly attacks on key institutions of the state of law. The attacks, sparked by the necessity of criminally investigated politicians to avoid sentences similar to that of convicted ex-PM Adrian Nastase, sparked horror throughout the civilized world. Senate speaker and Liberal party leader Crin Antonescu and the Social Democratic party leader, PM Victor Ponta have become the outcasts of the West. But apparently they have strengthened their domestic stand, as voters wants to sanction the Democratic Liberals (PDL) and PDL-supported President Traian Basescu for austerity measures doubled by the arrogance and unjustified public-fund spending of former ministers such as Elena Udrea.
