Mircea Marian: "Dan Voiculescu recognizes implicitly that he had reported."
According to statements he gave to the CNSAS College, he was obliged "earn a bread". For this white bread, Voiculescu was sending those from the Securitatea if a certain foreign citizen was "preoccupied" by " the spiritual attraction" of Romanian citizens or by the "defamation of our policy." "Our policy" meant, of course, the politics of the Ceausescu regime. But Voiculescu said, for no foreign citizen "he reported with the purposes to do any harm." As an example, the former PC leader had presented to the CNSAS his cousin Paraschiva, which he had reported, but she hadn't suffered.
The first reaction to the stupid and childish apologies of the former conservative leader was to laugh. The individual seems to be funny. He doesn't even knows how to lie beautifully as you can expect from one who is making policy since the '70. His rats colleagues describe him, in their notes to the Securitatea as "lisping, both physical and psychological."
But your smile freezes when you realize that he is one of the most rich and powerful man in Romania. His television stations are working like real inquisition courts which define who are the desirable politicians are the ones who should be removed from public life. Voiculescu's staff have held important positions in two governances. In the meantime, one of his companies is buying cheap power from the state and then it reselled it at a higher price to another public company. The agreement with PSD might allow the conservatives to return, in 2009, at the basket with public money.
Dan Voiculescu was the one who managed to disband CNSAS. It's true, not by himself, but with the help of the judges from the Constitutional Court, which feared that their communist past could become public. CNSAS was refounded, but everyone is expecting a new appeal, which will be accepted again by the Constitutional Court.
This portrait of Felix, an informer who ended up well, after December '89, businessman and politician, it may overlap with the image of many public figures. An unknown number of files of the former Securitatea - at a time it was wrote that it would be almost 200,000 - are still in the custody of the secret services. If we take into account the fact that the number of the elected - from local councillors to mayors and parliamentarians - would be approximately 50,000, we can suspect that, in fact, despite all the promises, we are still far from the dsclosure of the former Securitatea. The political world, media and business area are probably full of former writers who made thier living as well as Felix. Unlike Dan Voiculescu, whose links with the Securitatea were at least partially disclosed, these people can be blackmailed and subjected to the influence of those in front they have reported. As long as we will not know the past of those who are leading us - including those who fail to find their former dossier from Securitatea - we will remain under suspicion that the Securitatea (former?) is still present everywhere and has all the power in Romania.
