Johannis and Merkel reinvented the Nazi work columns

By Constantin Radut
These days, with great sadness for European Christianity, due to COVID-19 disease, two heads of state, Klaus Iohannis, the president of Romania, and Angela Merkel, the perennial Chancellor of re-integrated Germany, have created a great and vile alliance in Eastern Europe.
At the so-called pressure of some farmers’ organizations, the two states made an agreement which circumvented the internal regulations that prohibited the migration/circulation of people in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus. As a result, in Romania, through the Military Ordinance no. 8/2020, a provision from other previous regulations is corrected, stipulating: “Charter flights for the transport of seasonal workers in other countries are allowed with the approval of the competent authorities of the country of origin and the country of destination”.
In Germany, the federal government issues a similar approval that allows migrants from Eastern Europe to enter Germany for agricultural work, although these countries are on the red coronavirus list.
Thus, in only two days, a cohort of Romanians appeared who made heaps of rugby at the airports in Cluj-Napoca, Iasi and Sibiu, even in Bucharest.
Endless columns of work for Greater Germany…
Heteroclastic work teams similar to the deportations of Hitler’s fascist years.
What matters for Germany if the coronavirus is highly contagious. Measures have been taken to spread the disease only among seasonal workers called from Eastern Europe to cope with the lack of workforce in German agriculture.
In fact, that’s another big lie. Eastern European workers are cheap and defenseless workforce in front of German employers. According to contracts signed at the aircraft scale, the German employer can eliminate a worker just 24 hours in advance, if the person is not able to work or is not compliant…
The work is exhausting and only the lie of the German and Romanian NGOs says that the Romanians have nowhere to work in Romania. The real situation is different. For example, the Federation of Construction Employers of Romania, active in the pandemic period, also needs about 500,000 skilled and unskilled workers this year. The average monthly wage in the Romanian construction sector is at least 1000 euros per month.
Just three months ago, the president of the German-Romanian Chamber of Commerce in Bucharest (AHK Romania), Dragos Anastasiu, said that one of the problems facing the Romanian economy is the lack of workforce in most sectors of activity.
Now, Romanians who have fled to Germany and other Western countries to be treated in Romania for COVID 19 disease are again cheat with money.
In fact, they are exploited as second-hand persons, as in the times of fascist regimes.
Here is what Mariana H., 43, and her son Valentin, 17, who were waiting for the flight to Düsseldorf at the airport in the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca, say: “I have worked abroad for 15 years, last eight in Germany at asparagus farms, “said Mariana. “Our contract says we work eight hours a day, but we actually work 10 to 12 hours, seven days a week. It is very, very difficult … “.
Ioan T. is restless. The call from Germany comes to his family, but he is not too excited: “It is not a beautiful experience”, says Ioan T.
Ioan T. had worked at an asparagus farm for the first time in Germany near Munster a year ago. After almost three months of intense work, 10 hours a day, usually 7 days a week, he returned to Romania with less than 1,850 euros. Over 1,000 euros had been deducted from wages for rents, meals and other ancillary costs.
Ioan T. knows that this money can be earned in Romania. In three months in communal sanitation services and in only two months in construction.
In addition to this, in Romania you can sleep at home with your family and not in metal constructions, containers, as in Germany.
But for many who did not have the opportunity to win in these months of social quarantine, the German propaganda, carried out at the diplomatic level and in the one of the NGOs had a favorable echo.
It is a big shame on the part of the federal government of Germany and the Government of Romania that they have reached such arrangements for the sale of the labor force in the villages and cities of the country, under the conditions in which Romania needs acute skilled and unskilled workers in the whole economy.
The unemployment rate in Romania was 2.28% between January and February 2020 among the population aged 25-74.
The Berlin Federal Government’s arrangements for the exploitation of the labor force in the South must be immediately judged and sanctioned by Brussels and by the national governments of the countries of the Eastern European.
