Ioana Lupea: "The shameless dance of barons and the Securitatea members resurrected from the dead after the local elections amazes. As well as the threat that they will return on the stage in this autumn."
Who would have bet on the political survival of Miki Spaga, the revolving plate of corruption in the Adrian Nastase cabinet, tracked down as officer DIE? DIP, Hrebenciuc, Mitrea, Stanoiu, Mazare, Oprisan, at the call is missing only the redneck Mischie for the 2004 team to be complete. But let's remember that in 2000 also, after the Bancorex crash, the Costesti mineriad and the "red wire", we would not expect a clear victory of Ion Iliescu and PDSR.
The comparison with the 2000 elections, which swept from the political stage the reformist administration of post communist Romania, deserves to be realized. We owe that administration the beginning of the state's modernization and the definitive orientation of Romania towards NATO and EU. The property regime, the law for the Securitatea disclosing, anti corruption in the banking system, the reorganization of the state's economy, the start of the negotiations with EU and the strengthening of the NATO candidateship were the measures which clarified at the intern and international level the position of our country. The merit of the second power of right is the continuation of these processes, with similar obstacles raised by the same political-financial elite which had won the transition. Let's be convinced that, if Ion Iliescu and PDSR would have obtained in 1996 a new vote of trust, the road of our country would have even different, probably like the Russian type, of an oligarchic state with a limited democracy. The same would have happened if Adrian Nastase's ascension wouldn't had been stopped in November 2004.
An EVZ forum member clearly settled, in the previous days, who is responsible for the post communists comeback to power in 2000, and 2008 if the prophecies will come true: Traian Basescu. His role is exaggerated by the antipathy towards the character. If not somehow Traian Basescu and the right administration is suffering from a benign for of the CDR syndrome? The common denominator of both administrations is the conflict - inside the government between the government and the president, between the leading parties - this being one of the reasons why CDR was sent away from the political life. The public perception was then - as it is now - that politicians did nothing else than argue.
But the main cause of the loss of the elections by CDR was probably the voters dissatisfaction in report with their expectations. Both CDR and Emil Constantinescu in 1996, and DA Alliance and Traian Basescu in 2004 came to power on a program of reorganization of the state. Anti corruption and anticommunism, the winning projects, are supposing oversized hopes, though they are involving lasting processes. Many of us believed that Constantinescu's victory, respectively Basescu's will lead to the sudden disappearing of corrupts and communists. Deceiving the expectations, even through the objective capacity of delivering miracles, is starting profound resentments.
Today also many electors of CDR are feeling hostility towards Emil Constantinescu and PNTCD, who are given no chances. The same feeling we are feeling on different channels towards Traian Basescu.
