Man, what do you know! Sit down 'cause I'm telling you one for the books. I found out from a buddy of mine, who has a friend in the police, that a network of luxury cars stolen from all over Europe and brought to our country like fish in a net has been uncovered. Six thugs have been detained, bro, and they don't even know how to get out of this. Listen to the story: these guys would rent or lease fancy cars from Spain, Germany, Italy, and France, stop paying the installments, then bring them to Romania with fake documents and modified chassis. What a scam, man! You'd think they're characters from 'Filantropica'.
Romanian Police, who usually just collect fines and drink coffee, carried out 16 searches in Dâmbovița, Ilfov, Buzău, Prahova, and Bucharest. And what do you think? They found 8 luxury cars, ready for sale. Me with my 2008 BMW that still coughs in the morning, these guys were trafficking Audis and Mercedes worth hundreds of thousands of euros. That's how some get rich, bro: without work, just with nerve.
But wait, that's not all. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which otherwise keeps quiet when it comes to our problems, announced that on June 10, the railway unions in France, SNCF, are going on strike. That is, right when the searches end and the World Cup begins. And what are they saying? Major disruptions to TGV, TER, Intercity, and RER. If you have a friend in France or want to go to the World Cup, better stay home and watch Fane on the terrace. Otherwise, you risk being stuck at the station like a cat in a calendar.
And, to show you what a coincidence, the MFA announced that Wednesday marks 100 years since the Treaty of Friendship between Romania and France, signed in Paris in 1926. Minister Oana Țoiu, who probably doesn't even know how to change a tire, declared that 'peace in Europe must be defended every day.' Right, bro, peace is defended with declarations, not with stolen cars. Anyway, good for them, we've been friends with the French for 100 years, but now we seem to be stealing each other's cars.
On the sports front, Jules Koundé, France's defender, got injured in a friendly match against Northern Ireland (3-1). A muscle problem, they say, but it's not serious and he'll play against Senegal on June 16. I think the French are complaining for nothing; anyway, their squad is full of stars, and Koundé is just one of them. But let's be serious, with how many stolen cars our guys have recovered, maybe we'll get a spot at the World Cup too, if the Americans don't tax us.
And so you don't say I didn't tell you everything, Turkey's President Erdogan warned that he will not tolerate threats to Northern Cyprus, after France signed an agreement with Cyprus for military presence. Ankara and northern Cyprus accuse that the balances in the Eastern Mediterranean are being upset. What can I say, it's like a chess game between them, and we're the pawns paying for gas. Alright, I'm off to tell Mioara to check the car's papers, because maybe mine is stolen from France and I don't even know it!
