"Politicians can say whatever they want. We are talking about the law, about deontology, about the European Convention on Human Rights, and about the duties Mr. Tucă has as a journalist. If Mr. Tucă was working at car workshop somewhere in Dristor and made a video in which he said ”these guys made a coup”, it would have been different. But as long as the journalist, not the car mechanic, the journalist, Marius Tucă, makes this statement, a statement which can be factchecked (...) the statement is false because the Central Electoral Bureau (...) made a decision, later validated by the Constitutional Court, which could not have been a coup because the state cannot coup itself".
The Sabbath was over, and it was almost daybreak on Sunday when Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
Suddenly a strong earthquake struck, and the Lord's angel came down from heaven. He rolled away the stone and sat on it. The angel looked as bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards shook from fear and fell down, as though they were dead.
The angel said to the women, “Don't be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was nailed to a cross. He isn't here! God has raised him to life, just as Jesus said he would. Come, see the place where his body was lying. Now hurry! Tell his disciples he has been raised to life and is on his way to Galilee. Go there, and you will see him. This is what I came to tell you.”
The women were frightened and yet very happy, as they hurried from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and greeted them. They went near him, held on to his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said, “Don't be afraid! Tell my followers to go to Galilee. They will see me there.”
— Matthew 28:1-10

European Commission officials heading to IMF and World Bank spring meetings advised to travel with basic devices
The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage, a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China.
Commissioners and senior officials travelling to the IMF and World Bank spring meetings next week have been given the new guidance, according to four people familiar with the situation.
They said the measures replicate those used on trips to Ukraine and China, where standard IT kit cannot be brought into the countries for fear of Russian or Chinese surveillance.
“They are worried about the US getting into the commission systems,” said one official.
The treatment of the US as a potential security risk highlights how relations have deteriorated since the return of Donald Trump as US president in January.
“The transatlantic alliance is over,” said a fifth EU official.
