Romania, fake text message to politicians: "bargain" It was raining the answers, but is prohibited by law

"No joke, it's a journalistic scoop." A Romanian reporter sent an SMS to 460 national deputies and senators posing as a businessman and the UAE offering a "big economic deal." Contravention of the law that prohibits such agreements to the members of Parliament, Members have responded en masse, bombing of the fake phone calls and SMS businessman.

"Hello Mr. / Mrs ... My name is Lynn Fischer, are representative in Romania of a large investment fund in the Emirates and I want to propose a deal. When he has a quarter of an hour to spare? "The message was sent with a lot of spelling errors to make it more likely. A joke that is likely to cost more than the roughly 100 members who responded to Befu Daniel, the journalist of the daily "Romania Libera" that had brought a highly profitable investment.

113 calls and 68 text messages, a storm of responses to make an appointment to have a little more detail, arrive without distinction of political group. The sample timing was the socialist Robert Negoita who answered less than a minute after receiving the message. Then there are those who called more than seven times in a couple of hours, such as Valerian Vreme party PD-L (center) and current Minister of Communications.

Some even asked a messaggino to be contacted privately to another number, as Nini Sapunaru, the liberal opposition party GNP. Finally there is someone who has applied for a rendez-vous to speak calmly taking a coffee in the lobby of a hotel, as Doru Fruzulica, Socialist MP and former Secretary of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which concluded the message with a heartfelt Thank you.

Bye. Not least the women, the most leste Mihaela Popa, Sorin Mitrea Placinta and Elena. The ladies have only noticed the bad joke when they saw their names published by Romania Libera, the front page. "I wanted to test the reaction of the Romanian parliament before the receipt of two messages - Befu says Daniel, the architect of the prank - a business proposal to an investor and a stranger asking for help than just a voter." The second 40% of the politicians have not even bothered to respond.

A joke reminiscent of what has already happened in Bulgaria in December, when some journalists of the weekly "168 Chasa" and the broadcaster's "bTV" They sent in an anonymous way of invitations to the opening of a luxury shop to 38 Members of Parliament all national political parties. Those present were promised a free cell phone last cry of the value of € 3 thousand, but the event fell in alongside a major parliamentary debate.

On 38, 16 Members are presented with the appointment strictly blue car.
