Ioana Lupea: "It is worn in the Capital, and at the floods. It's Vintage, so it is in the trends. You can improvize in white shoes as Elena Udrea at Moldovita."
The style "First Secretary" returned to fashion. It is worn in the Capital, and at the flood, it is accessible to all officials, regardless of rank, and successfully guaranteed by live transmissions. The first secretary style is vintage, so in the trends. Practiced in communism, it has suffered only small adjustments imposed by capitalism and technology. A casual apperance, a competent-worried-strong look, possibly tabernus of rubber, a map and more valuable indications are more than sufficient to achieve the style of "Prime secretary." You may improvize in white shoes as Elena Udrea at Moldovita. Although the Paul & Shark shirs of Traian Băsescu were, are and will be more convincing. Touched by nostalgia, even the recent television have reacted favourably having in the inventory resistance pieces as Mihai Tatulici.
A Mihai Tatulici placed beside a river which he doesn't knows its name ( "What river is this?", "Suceviţa," shouts someone from off) calls ministers, prefects, mayors and presidents of county councils to report. The show is with public, the people is represented. Locals gathered at the bridge are invited to comment, to intervene, to say their problems and to hold accountable the authority. "If the minister X is around, he must come here" calls, with athority, through television, a reporter with years of experience on the field. The aligned statesmen are beside the river which Mihai Tatulici doesn''t know the name and gives the report: many villages were flooded, this many people evacuated, many goods saved, this many cubic metres of water are coming on a water bed of this width. They are questioned for their deeds, and they give him a detailed answer as the first-Secretaries at "Reflector". They haven't met their plan, let them to make their auto-critic. Gheorghe Flutur is in its waters, as in the time of the bird flu epidemic. While officials offered the nation statistical information about floods, the river which Mihai Tatulici does not know the name may take away a house. But the reporters and the leaders of the region are happy. The nation saw on television that it is working. They are the heroes of a world without heroism.
An other representation in which we can recognize the style of Prime secretary. Sorin Oprescu in the passage under University Square. Dressed casually, the mayor met with the general designer, architect and the cameras over the maps. The designer answers the statesman's questions , with his hands put together in front. Sorin Oprescu shows on the map, asks for explanations, gives directions. "It folds and then climbs on the wall. And if we go on the space of cart? ", imagines the mayor-Prime secretary an elevator in a passage in which only the dust has moved for months. "It may be," agrees the designer, braking their hands. "You will find something to match," concludes authoritarian Oprescu, asking the designer and architect to finish the passage in two and half months. Openings, reports, ribbons cuts, the mayor of the capital has learned quickly and well "the style of the first secretary." The Bucharest inhabitants are happy: they feel that something is happening, although nothing is changing. The country envys them.
Even though it's retro, the style of prime-secretary will remain in trend. It assures the practicing statesman the prestige of a man of action, with authority, journalists heroes of a day, and to the population, the ratio of appearance necessary survival.
