Patriarchy addresses CNSAS against Mircea Dinescu



Romanian Patriarchy addressed the CNSAS (National Council for Research on the Communist Secret Service Archive) yesterday against the statements by CNSAS member Mircea Dinescu. The latter claimed His Holiness Antonie Plamadeala, a Securitate (Communist Secret Service) officer during the Communist regime, had asked dictator Nicolae Ceausescu to promote him a general. His Holiness Antonie Streza, a Bishop of Transylvania, denied Mircea Dinescu's information on his predecessor Antonie Plamadeala, also denying the latter had been in connection to the ex Securitate.
Constantin Stoica, a spokesman for the Romanian Patriarchy, announced yesterday that a layman representing the Patriarchy fetched the complaint meant for the CNSAS president Ladislau Csendes. The document is to reach the parliamentary committee coordinating the CNSAS activity most likely next week, Stoica mentioned. (...)
According to the Romanian Patriarchy representatives, Mircea Dinescu's comments are incompatible to his status as member of the CNSAS. (...)
But Mircea Dinescu was relaxed when learning about the complaint against him, claiming he had disobeyed the CNSAS law on the unveiling of information. He mentioned what he had disclosed was not in the CNSAS archive. He commented: "I can't wait for them to complain about me ! They will be surprised to learn that the information I unveiled was not from some CNSAS record, but from a totally different source". He also argued that he had disclosed the respective piece of information because the CNSAS had already announced checks on the records of those representatives of the Romanian Orthodox Church to run as candidates for the Patriarch seat.
