Programul pentru Romania

Vreau sa ajung in Parlamentul European pentru ca doresc sa reprezint interesele generatiei mele, ale tuturor tinerilor din Romania care isi doresc sa evolueze intr-un mediu sanatos sub toate aspectele.

Dintr-o perspectiva pertinenta, pot afirma ca noi, tinerii din Romania, ne confruntam cu probleme stringente legate de:

– educatie

– cultura

– sanatate

– locuri de munca

De cand am intrat in politica, am fost in permanenta preocupat de gasirea unor solutii viabile pentru toate aceste probleme complexe, interconectate la toate nivelurile. Rezolvarea multora dintre aceste probleme este deja cunoscuta in tarile dezvoltate ale comunitatii europene.

Cu toate ca noi, tinerii din Romania, avem dezavantajul unui start tardiv in lumea capitalista, trebuie sa profitam de avantajul oferit de accesul la modelele de succes, pe care le putem studia in amanunt, adapta conditiilor socioeconomice din tara noastra si apoi aplica avand certitudinea unei reusite.

Astfel, am convingerea ca solutiile pentru problemele tinerilor din Romania pot fi rezolvate prin analiza comparata. In acest sens, prezenta in Parlamentul European imi va facilita accesul la legislatia pentru tineret a membrilor Uniunii Europene si imi va oferi posibilitatea de a-mi crea legaturi profesionale cu reprezentanti ai altor state, afland astfel in mod direct care au fost solutiile gasite de acestia pentru problemele similare.

Consider ca este mult mai eficient sa procedam astfel, preluand solutiile care si-au dovedit deja eficienta si apoi adaptandu-le specificului tarii noastre, decat sa incercam sa reinventam ceva ce in alte parti functioneaza cu succes.

Una dintre problemele tinerilor din Romania care mi-a atras in mod particular atentia este din sfera educatiei, si anume lipsa resurselor pentru finantarea studiilor superioare. Una dintre principalele resurse ale tarii noastre este inteligenta. Cunoastem proabil fiecare dintre noi cazuri ale unor tineri ale caror capacitati intelectuale si artistice extraordinare raman neexploatate din pricina lipsei de resurse financiare ale famiilor din care provin si a lispei de interes a institutiilor care ar putea face ceva in acest sens. Solutia pe care o vad la aceasta problema este ca tinerilor respectivi sa li se ofere sansa de de a-si urma visul independent de circumstante.

In state precum Anglia sau Suedia sunt implementate de ani buni programe de finantare a studiilor superioare, asa numitele credite pentru studii ce pot fi obtinute de tinerii care isi doresc sa urmeze o facultate insa nu dispun de resursele financiare necesare. Consider ca implementarea unui astfel de program poate fi viabila si in Romania, creand astfel si o serie de alte efecte benefice prin conditiile puse pentru obtinerea unui astfel de credit pentru studii.

Efectul principal va fi cresterea numarului de tineri cu educatie superioara si implicit cu sanse mai mari pentru obtinerea unui loc de munca bine platit.

Conditiile impuse pentru acordarea creditului pentru studii trebuie sa reglementeze obligatoriu urmatoarele aspecte:

1. Returnarea creditului va incepe automat in momentul obtinerii primului loc de munca dupa terminarea studiilor. Astfel, tanarul absolvent va fi determinat sa munceasca, deci se pot obtine efecte pozitive asupra scaderii somajului in randul tinerilor.
2. Dupa terminarea studiilor absolventii beneficiari ai creditelor pentru studii trebuie sa munceasca o perioada determinata in tara, cel putin pana la returnarea integrala a creditului. Aceasta conditie va avea un impact major asupra determinarii tinerilor in a-si gasi un loc de munca in Romania, exodul de inteligenta putand fi astfel incetinit.

Proiectul expus mai sus arata clar interesul meu in rezolvarea problemelor tinerilor precum si dorinta de a ajunge in Parlamentul European pentru a avea acces la informatiile si legaturile necesare pentru a pune in aplicare toate aceste idei.

I want to become a member of the European Parliament because I wish to represent the interests of my generation, a generation of young Romanians that wish to better themselves in a healthy and thriving environment.

From a pertinent perspective, I can say that we, the young people of Romania, face pressing problems related to:

– education

– culture

– health

– employment

Since I entered politics, I was always concerned with finding viable solutions for all these complex and interconnected problems. The answers to many of these problems are already known in the developed countries of the European community.

Although we, the youth of Romania, have the disadvantage of a late start in the capitalist world, we need to make the most of our current situation.. As such, we can study in detail the successful models implemented in these countries, adapt them to our socio-economic conditions and then apply them with the certainty of success.

Thus, I believe that the problems of young people in Romania can be solved through a comparative analysis. In this regard, my presence in the European Parliament will facilitate access to legislation regarding the youth of European Union members. Also it will give me the opportunity to network and build professional relationships with representatives of other countries, thus having a direct source of information on how they dealt with similar problems.

I think it is far more efficient to adopt solutions that have already proven their effectiveness and adapt them to our country, than trying to reinvent something that already works successfully elsewhere.

One of the problems of young people in Romania that particularly caught my attention pertains to education, namely the lack of resources for financing higher education. One of the main resources of our country is intelligence. We all know cases of young people whose intellectual and artistic capacities remain untapped because of their family’s lack of financial resources or the lack of interest from institutions that could actually do something about it. I consider that these young people should be given the chance to follow their dreams no matter what the circumstances are, be them financial or social.

Like previously stated a solution can be found in countries like England or Sweden, in which higher education financing programs were implemented years ago; these are the so called student loans, which can be obtained by young people who want to pursue a university degree, but don’t have the necessary financial resources. I think that the implementation of a similar program is viable in Romania as well, generating this way other beneficial effects due to the conditions for obtaining such a loan.

The main effect will be increasing the number of young people with higher education degrees and thus better chances of finding a well-paid job. The conditions for granting credit for studies must necessarily cover the following aspects:

1. Returning the credit will automatically begin when obtaining the first job after finishing their studies. This way, the young graduate will be encouraged to find work and as such the beneficial effect would be a decrease in youth unemployment.
2. After graduation, the recipients of these loans must work a certain period of time in the country, at least until they return the full credit. This condition will have a major impact in encouraging young people to find jobs in Romania; while at the same time slowing the brain drain affecting the country.

The project just presented, clearly shows my interest in solving my generation’s problems, and the desire to become a member of the European Parliament in order to have access to information and connections necessary to implement these ideas and solutions.
