Witches Benefit from EU Accession
Who would've thought that joining the European Union would be such a boon for Romanian witches? Earlier we were worried that they'd all be losing money as they splashed out on English lessons, trying to prepare for what they thought would be a huge wave of English-speaking clients. While we're not sure if Tony Blair or Angela Merkel are rushing to Romania for some witchly assistance, it is apparently true that Romanian businesspeople are frantically making appointments.
Witchcraft is recognized as a "real profession" in Romania, and the local witches say that in response to EU entry,
They have adjusted their services as entrepreneurs turn to potions and spells to get the money they want.
These services include, just to name a couple, splashing application forms for EU funding with special potions and helping gay men (now protected under EU law) get more feminine features. As one witch said:
You cannot pretend you are a real witch if you cannot help a businessman get the European Union funds he wants.
Of course not.
