Alexandru Moldovan, Age 25, from Tg. Mures,
program coordinator at PATRIRFor me, the new
experience of talking to people was a great
success.I spoke with lots of people, although the
discussions were short.The majority of them were
old people who didnt agree under no
circumstances with the mining project.
Agriculture is the main income source for them,
and if the environment gets more polluted than it
is, production will decrease.

of the unfavorable weather, the contacts with the
people we met on our way to Turda showed their
interest regarding Rosia Montana problem and
their opposition to the project.

Sorana Olaru Zainescu, age 25, from Cluj-Napoca,
assisting teacher at Faculty of Political
Science, department of JournalismI spoke to the
lady who had just moved to Mihai Viteazu. She was
from Gura Cornei (village near Rosia Montana).
She was against the project, but the compny put
great pressure on her.She sold her house and land
for 700 million lei. This is the typical scenario
used by the company They measure over and over
again the lands, they make new and new offers,
meanwhile the preassure on people gets higher and
higher and eventually they decide to sell their
houses, as being near the road they think that
they are the first affected.

Andrei Seitan, age 26, volunteer from
ConstantaYoungsters, by age and soul (look at
the Canadian woman of 65), reached our first
destination standing against bad weather and
appropriating the groups principles. Our girls
were describing the tiredness they felt, but it
was nothing compared to the joy we felt when we
saw that nobody abandoned and that no major
problem interfered. So here is what I was
thinking the desire sustained by will shows
its effect!

Crina Resteman, age 24, from Satu-Mare, program
coordinator PATRIRPeople are not being listened
to when great decisions regarding their community
are made. And as well they didnt get used to the
implication in the process of taking decisions,
and Im referring here to the fingertips left by
the communist regime when you couldnt express
yourself, you only had to do what you were
ordered. In my opinion, what they mostly need now
is a leader to mobilize them efficiently, to get
them off this indifference mood.
