Emil Boc mai are puțin și introduce pokerul în programa școlară
Emil Boc, the mayor of Cluj-Napoca, expressed a unique perspective on poker, suggesting it has selective qualities that differentiate it from other gambling games. During a local council meeting, he argued that poker's rules and the nature of its players mitigate negative effects associated with gambling. Boc's comments came as the council voted to ban physical gambling venues but overlooked poker clubs. He claimed to observe the poker club near his home, asserting it causes no disturbances. This stance raises questions about the inconsistency in Romania's gambling regulations, where a significant portion of the market operates illegally, reflecting broader issues in the state's approach to gambling.
