I didn’t delete any previous comment, and to be fair, I don’t think that I have been rude. BUT, maybe, there is an age gap between me and you and I have been quite direct and informal, which can come across as rude if you are not used or you are not in your twenties. I didn’t mean to be mean towards you personally or British people generally, neither towards your country. Therefore I apologise if I made you feel this way. HOWEVER, what I really meant in comments is that I fell that your government and politicians, besides the media, worked really hard to portray Eastern European people under a bad light. The “Polish plumber” effect started in the Uk, did you know that? Romania was a little bit more unlucky cause we had a whole documentary made by one of your tv channels, named “THE ROMANIANS ARE COMING” portraying Romania and Romanian people in a very unfair and untrue way. British people immediately started tripping. Also, one of the most mentioned reasons for Brexit among those who voted in favour was the fact that they didn’t want any more Romanians coming to the UK. Now, that being said, I think you guys, AS WHOLE, are a little bit (if not more) negatively influenced and biased towards your view on Romania as a country. I don’t know when you have been to Romania the last time, you said you have seen a lot of poverty, more than in other countries. You should compare equally, the poorest zones of these countries and the richest to have a REAL metric. If you went from ten richest and most touristic zones of Montenegro and Serbia, to the least ones from Romania, you cannot really state that (besides that, Yougoslavia was more advanced and rich than communist Romania, there are many things to say here but I’ll keep it short). Of course, there is poverty, wrong things that happen in Romania AND there is always room for improvement. We need to learn from other from our mistakes and be inspired by the positive achievements of other countries and take them as an example. But you should also be more realistic and recognise that Romania is not anymore in the yellow line in the Balkans nor in Eastern Europe. GDP, salary, human rights, if your compare economic, social, political indicators you will not see the yellow you mentioned so often anymore. That’s your bias, because you come from the UK and the majority of you have many misconceptions of what’s real and what’s feeding you your media and government. Seriously, your comment came off very rude and not real at all. For the rest, have a nice evening and enjoy your weekend. Again, I didn’t want to attack you and neither argue. This is what I think, and by the upvotes and downvotes, I am not the only one feeling this way.
