Destructive Basescu

A government may not be changed just because this what Traian Basescu and his servants in the DNA (National Anti-Corruption Department) want so. It is only the Parliament's will that may change the government. The bill against the government failed lamentably, despite the Democrat plotters' struggle to incite the opposition in the Parliament and despite the solicitations for criminal inquiry the DNA made up overnight. But it unveiled a head of state willing to make any compromise or restore disorder in the country to satisfy his organic hatred of PM Calin Popescu-Tariceanu. It is to be reminded that it was the very President himself who had appointed him a PM, with kisses and hugs. Instead of working for social and political equilibrium and for making the standards of living the main priority, Traian Basescu wants instability and he instigates state powers against each other by horrible diversion.
The last of the kind was launched last Friday to the less and less citizens willing to trust him. The idea is that the entire government is in conflict with Justice. But the entire government is actually in conflict against Traian Basescu and the DNA. The latter institution does not represent Justice. According to Article 126 in the Constitution, justice is done only through the High Court and the other courts. The DNA is an institution with all heads appointed by Traian Basescu, after having been carefully selected by Monica Macovei, the presidential pupil.
Minister Chiuariu and PM Tariceanu released an ordinance replacing the special commission in Cotroceni Palace, made up of humble members easy to blackmail, with independent judges. Traian Basescu's vehement opposition made an embarrassing public show. But the press response had been appropriate. Except for the submissive dailies reporting on "the death of Justice", there have prevailed those headlines claiming Basescu was left without his "toy", that is the obedient commission, and the DNA (a simple department in the Prosecutor's Office) is left without means to ask for criminal investigations against a minister. One is blind if one can't see that Daniel Morar, the tool-prosecutor, whose victims had to cash 2 billion ROL as damages from the state budget because of his inquiries, has got to send lots of criminal inquiry requests to Cotroceni Palace, although the ministers at stake get no information whatsoever on the nature of the charges. Since the bill failed, maybe the DNA will succeed. Maybe there are ministers who broke the law and have to pay for it. But I can't possibly trust the chain of requests coming all of a sudden. I am also convinced that criminal cases have been drawn against some ministers just to make them get suspended.
As far as the Justice minister is concerned, the DNA has obviously reached a conflict of interests and overt enmity. The DNA is reproached for being involved in political police activity by all the parties, except for the Democrat Party, whose leaders are the only ones who have no criminal cases. To me the DNA has become an institution whose officials lie about the President's immunity in order to keep his records aside. And on the other hand they open criminal cases against other people if the President orders so.
But there is a chance that we should soon get a DNA independent from the President or other political factor. This is up to the Superior Council of Magistracy. The Council is to reach today a decision vital for the fate of some DNA members: point to prosecutors disobeying norms and thinking they can do what they please or hide the dirt under the mat and prove certain prosecutors are either unable to split from politics or they are above the law they are supposed to watch. Today we will all learn how many people like Daniel Morar and Doru Tulus there are in the CSM.
