The scum in Cotroceni Palace and the fear of lustration

Of course President Basescu won't believe that I am now bored with writing about his tricks. He said we would have had nothing to write about, had he not been a President! A President-player. He is a bragger as haughty as a peacock and he makes a show of himself. He would do anything to arrest people's attention so that people would think it is him who does and undoes things. He thinks he is the player of all players, but he is just a toy president of the service at the end of the leash. Does anybody really think that one could head the agency in Anvers and not be an agent, an under cover one, like so many diplomacy members were, of the Securitate (Communist Secret Service in Romania)? As for those who may say the Romanian Secret Service is not the Special Security Department and the Foreign Intelligence Service is not the Foreign Intelligence Department, I am reminding them about the demonstrations arranged by the Front for National Salvation in November 1990 in Bucharest, when Dan Iosif was crying out that the Front for National Salvation was not the Romanian Communist Party! In other words, an under cover officer of the Securitate is not an under cover officer of the Romanian Secret Service. He is one used in games played by the 'intelligence', which some intellectuals take for authentic, when they are not participating in tricks.
The unmasking of the (anti) national impostor called Traian Basescu, accompanied by the Democrat Party, is a must. It is a party of the presidential assemble. When Basescu is out of Romania's public stage, we will be able to write about truly important things. But for the time being, we have to cope with the plays of the presidential diversion, either implicitly or explicitly. It means we have to take him into account. Some have to praise him, some to criticize him. Some have to validate his impostorship by claiming it is providential stance. The other have to prove this impostorship.
The target of such impostorship is to dismember the right completely (it started with the National Christian-Democrat Party and it has now reached the National Liberal Party) in order to replace it with a made up left group, the Democrat Party, originating from the Front for National Salvation. It is also aimed at taking over the main topics of the right and compromising them. Basescu and the Democrats sabotaged them successfully when the Romanian Democratic Convention was in power. The campaign against corruption, the return of stolen properties, the condemnation of communism as murderous regime and lustration - all these have been systematically opposed by the Democrats, Traian Basescu the first of them. And the National Christian-Democrat Party got to an end because of surrendering and committing fratricide and also because, when President, Emil Constantinescu was not firm, like Calin Popescu Tariceanu is now.
At stake is not only the rescue and the victory of a political party that made Romania modern, the National Liberal Party. At stake is not only to make the authentic right and left clear. At stake is the very normalization of social, political and daily life in Romania.
President Traian Basescu is obstructing the process of making Euro-Atlantic Romania normal. He was panic stricken when he saw the Liberals were taking the whipped cream of the cake. Liberals' decision to raise pension took him by surprise and the Democrats got into the embarrassing situation of voting for the law, because they were afraid of the retired population, and then they got to criticize it, because they were afraid of President Basescu. He wouldn't agree to the pension raise because he wants enmity. He has shrewdly invoked the uninominal vote against parties and parliamentary democracy. He has publicly mentioned "the scum in parties", overtly insulting them so that he can play the victim of press critique afterwards. Did the press ignore him, Basescu would fall like a dry leaf. The secret services would learn that Romanian society has reached maturity and they would act accordingly. They wouldn't be playing God via the so-called presidents-player. But we are unable of embargo. We are waiting for the lustration law, which, just like usually, Basescu has invoked for bluff. But he is afraid of it, like the devil is afraid of incense. This is why he is doing his best so that it would be forgotten.
