I didn't quite understand why this yahoo group shouldn't be the place to host such messages as Laura Simone's one. I found it more informative and definetely more 'real' than most announcements posted here. No matter how virtual this yahoo groups is, it is still a 'public space' and there is something called freedom of speech (a human right by the way!) which is a right everybody should have no matter his/her citizenship or nationality.
Thanks Laura for letting us/me know about politics that don't reach the Romanian or English newspapers!
