							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Criza politică de la București, subiect de analiză, luni, în podcastul realziat de Robert Turcescu pentru evz.ro și difuzat pe canalul de YouTube Hai România. Invitatul, Adrian Severin, a remarcat că există asemănări între actualul premier, Ilie Bolojan, și un fost șef al Executivului, Sorin Grindeanu. Ambii țin sau au ținut cu dinții de scaunul de prim-ministru.
România, din criză în criză. Bolojan ține de scaun la fel cum a făcut-o un alt premier al României
„Suntem într-o veche criză, care trăiește într-o altă criză acoperită de o mare criză în care iată, mai apare o nouă criză. Zâmbetul meu de mai devreme era justificat, eu încerc să-l justific prin amintirea faptului că precedentul... tot în cazul în care un premier s-a legat cu lanțuri de scaunul, îl avea ca actor principal pe însuși domnul Grindeanu, dacă memoria nu mă înșală. Deci iată că domnul Grindeanu acum are ocazia să-și vadă chipul, cum s-ar zice, în oglindă.
Numai că, sigur, peste timp s-a mai îngrășat un pic și apare... chipul domnului Bolojan oricum foarte subiectiv vorbind și nepartizan și neideologic, domnul Grindeanu îmi pare tot totuși un om mai uman și mai responsabil decât domnul Bolojan. Și repet, n-are nicio legătură, spun eu, nici cu aspecte ideologice, nici cu aspect de competență administrativă, ci pur și simplu umane”, a spus fostul ministru de Externe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x5LtppqBCA
„Mi se pare absolut insensibil”
Adrian Severin este de părere că actualul premier este un iceberg, un om lipsit de sentimente și de empatie. În ceea ce-l privește pe liderul PSD, fostul demnitar l-a descris cu ajutorul unui banc.

„Domnul Bolojan mi se pare că trăiește în afara omeniei și umanității. Mi se pare absolut insensibil, mi se pare absolut lipsit de empatie și așa mai departe. Nu cred că domnul Grindeanu a fost, ar fi sau... ar putea ajunge un premier bun.
Bancul cu bancherul cu ochi de sticlă
Nu, nu cred deloc lucrul acesta, nu cred că ar performa mai bine decât domnul Bolojan, dar parcă, știți, era o glumă, o spun repede, un bancher i-a propus unui solicitant să îi dea creditul dacă ghicește care din ochii lui este un ochi de sticlă, un ochi fals, pentru că era atât de bine realizat încât nimeni nu putea să facă distincția între cel fals și cel adevărat.

Și omul recunoaște ochiul, întreabă bancherul cum a reușit și spune prin ochiul ăla de sticlă am citit un licăr de omenie. Exact așa, în ochiul de sticla am putea citi un licăr de umanitate în ochiul Grindeanu.”, a mai afirmat invitatul lui Robert Turcescu.]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Ilie-Bolojan-8-1200x800.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Let’s make no mistake. In high-level politics, silence and inertia are often more deafening and dangerous than an official declaration. Today, the entire #rezist crowd is applauding the image of the “providential administrator” of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, the man who came to cut to the bone in order to salvage the budget. For now, all he has done is cut to the bone, managing to inflict some moral (excuse me, mortal!) wounds on the economy. He doesn't actually have a budget, so there isn't much he can save.

But, if we lift our gaze from the deficit spreadsheets and look at the geopolitical map, especially these days, we notice a severe anomaly: the economic relationship with the United States of America has entered a sudden, silent, and seemingly inexplicable ice age.
Why is Ilie Bolojan boycotting the US?
Why is he running away from a close collaboration with Washington in a time of global crisis? The answer does not lie in some diplomatic ineptitude of the prime minister. It is a calculated, cold boycott, generated by three major shadowy power mechanisms.

For the current prime minister, the Romanian leu must learn to speak German. Ilie Bolojan is the administrative and political product of the West, but not the transatlantic one; rather, the Brussels one, as they say in the bureaucratic gibberish of civil servants. More specifically, the interest group behind him breathes deeply the financial air of Berlin and, less frequently but still breathing it, that of Paris. I cannot forget his attachment to Dragoș Anastasescu and his ties to the German industry.

German and French investments dictate the economic rhythm of how the massive funds from the SAFE package are being spent, where contracts with Rheinmetall (Hotnews source) dominate the procurement list. I wouldn't be surprised if Ilie Bolojan banged his shoe on the table. It resembles Nikita Khrushchev too much.

Don't believe it? According to the cited source, at a quick calculation, out of the €9.5 billion allocated for defense procurement, over €4.5 billion was directed by Ilie Bolojan toward the German industry. From the short-range anti-aircraft zone/ammunition to the infantry fighting vehicle (Rheinmetall Lynx) and the medium-range missile systems (Diehl IRIS-T)... all of these come from the banks of the Rhine, not the Potomac.
The Prime Minister's Plan
In a Europe where Germany is desperately trying to decouple from American hegemony, the Romanian prime minister is playing a very clear tune. Distancing himself from US economic interests is, in reality, a guarantee offered to German capital that its interests in Romania will not be disturbed by an American economic or strategic offensive. Bolojan has chosen the Brandenburg Gate, sacrificing the Strategic Partnership on the altar of Berlin's interests.

This is not the only condition we have identified. If we dig one layer deeper, we enter the realm of intelligence services and the underground system, where the shadow of Florian Coldea and the "Deep State" network can be glimpsed. For those familiar with behind-the-scenes games, Ilie Bolojan's longstanding closeness to the former first deputy of the SRI [Romanian Intelligence Service] is no secret. Dating back to his first term as mayor of Oradea. Right up to the present day.

The association with the occult power system once built by Florian Coldea clarifies this hitting of the brakes in the relationship with the Americans. The former operational head of the SRI was always recognized within the system for his strong Francophile affinities, often to the detriment of an alignment with Washington. And his economic interests have gravitated toward the exact same area.
The Relationship with Nicușor Dan
But realistically, I believe his true stake is political survival.

Having as a clear objective the 2030 presidential elections and the sabotage of Nicușor Dan's presidency. While the first two reasons pertain to geopolitics and secret services, the third is pure internal power mechanics. Bolojan's ultimate goal is not to retire from the Victoria Palace but to reach the Cotroceni Palace in 2030. His major problem? Nicușor Dan.

To boycott his term, to prove his inefficiency, and to clip his wings toward a future consolidation of power, Bolojan must sabotage the exact external resource that can legitimize Nicușor Dan. So, Bolojan chooses to build an alternative power pole, subtly blocking any major initiative that would ensure the external success of Nicușor Dan's presidency. This explains the insistence with which the "good people" from USR, led by the charming Oana Țoiu, tried to convince Nicușor Dan not to go to the meeting with Donald Trump.

It is a war of attrition, in which the country is kept at a standstill just so one leader can secure a political lane four years from now.

However, this game is, literally, Russian roulette. Ilie Bolojan is playing not only with his own political future but also with Romania's ver...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ilie-Bolojan-5-1200x800.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Firma FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL, înființată în 2012, a fost deținută în cote egale de Antonio Daniel Olăroiu, fiul antrenorului Cosmin Olăroiu, și fosta sa parteneră, Roxana Tănase. Deși societatea se ocupă cu vânzarea de apartamente de lux în stațiunea Mamaia, cu prețuri ce variază între 400.000 și 2 milioane de euro, performanțele financiare au fost în declin constant.
Firma condusă de fosta iubită a lui Olăroiu Jr, vizată într-un proces
Pe măsură ce situația economică a firmei s-a înrăutățit, Olăroiu Jr. s-a retras din afacere în octombrie 2024, cedând întreaga conducere fostei sale iubite, de care s-a despărțit cu o lună înainte.

FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL este implicată într-un litigiu cu SPIRMINA CORPORATION SRL — societatea care gestionează închirierea Palatului Kiseleff de la RA-APPS și care se află în mijlocul unui scandal major — iar instanța a pronunțat o decizie cu impact financiar sever pentru firma lui Olăroiu Jr, arată Gândul.

Disputa ar fi pornit de la un antecontract încheiat între cele două firme pentru vânzarea unui apartament aflat în construcție. FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL nu a respectat termenii acestui acord bilateral de vânzare-cumpărare, ceea ce a condus la o sentință judecătorească care impune plata unor despăgubiri substanțiale.
Totul ar fi pornit de la un contract de vânzare-cumpărare
Firma FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL, înființată în 2012, și administrată acum de Roxana Tănase după ce Antonio Daniel Olăroiu s-a retras în octombrie 2024, se află în mijlocul unui litigiu important la Tribunalul București. Procesul a fost inițiat pe 20 iunie 2024 de către SPIRMINA CORPORATION SRL și are ca obiect „rezoluțiune contract”, vizând un contract de vânzare-cumpărare neexecutat.

Anul 2024 a adus unele schimbări pentru FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL, care a obținut autorizații pentru modificări la Complexul Hotelier Mamaia, locul unde își desfășoară activitatea și unde vinde apartamente de lux. Firma a înregistrat o cifră de afaceri de peste 32 milioane lei și un profit de aproximativ 5,6 milioane lei, având 5 angajați.

Aceasta reprezintă o îmbunătățire față de situația din 2022, când societatea a avut pierderi majore și zero cifră de afaceri, iar în 2023 datoriile depășeau 125 milioane lei.
Fosta lui iubită a preluat controlul asupra companiei
După plecarea lui Olăroiu Jr., Roxana Tănase a preluat integral controlul firmei, devenind singurul asociat și administrator. Ea este implicată și în STEDA RESIDENCE SRL, o companie de dezvoltare imobiliară cu sediul în același imobil din București, care în 2024 a raportat pierderi, deși a avut o cifră de afaceri de peste 13 milioane lei.

Conflictele dintre FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL și SPIRMINA CORPORATION SRL au început după ce, în aprilie 2023, cele două firme au semnat o promisiune bilaterală de vânzare-cumpărare, modificată în ianuarie 2024.

Conform acestui acord, FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL trebuia să vândă un apartament de trei camere, aflat în construcție în Mamaia, către SPIRMINA CORPORATION SRL, până la 31 decembrie 2023. Apartamentul are o suprafață de 190,7 metri pătrați plus o terasă de 52,2 metri pătrați, iar prețul convenit a fost de 1,3 milioane euro.
Obligată să achite o sumă importantă
În iunie 2024, pe fondul neîndeplinirii obligațiilor contractuale, FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL a fost dată în judecată, iar instanța a dispus o sancțiune financiară.

Pe 27 aprilie 2023, SPIRMINA CORPORATION SRL a plătit către FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL un avans de 800.000 de euro, urmând ca restul sumei de 500.000 de euro să fie achitat la semnarea contractului de vânzare-cumpărare în formă autentică, dar nu mai târziu de 31 decembrie 2023.

FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL a acordat companiei SPIRMINA CORPORATION SRL un drept de ipotecă legală asupra imobilului, ca garanție pentru plata sumelor convenite. Cu toate acestea, relația dintre cele două părți s-a deteriorat rapid. SPIRMINA CORPORATION SRL a acuzat FIRST MAMAIA RESIDENCE SRL că nu și-a respectat angajamentele asumate.
Compania susține că nu a primit documentele cheie
Până la termenul-limită de 31 decembrie 2023, firma condusă de Roxana Tănase nu a transmis documentele de proprietate, posesia și folosința apartamentului către cumpărător. Ca urmare, a fost solicitată o prelungire a termenului pentru finalizarea tranzacției, propunere acceptată printr-un act adițional semnat pe 3 ianuarie 2024, care amâna termenul final până la 3 iunie 2024.

Totuși, situația nu s-a rezolvat nici până la 28 mai 2024, când SPIRMINA CORPORATION SRL nu primise încă niciunul dintre documentele necesare pentru identificarea clară a apartamentului și pentru verificarea conformității lucrărilor, așa cum prevedea promisiunea bilaterală semnată inițial de ambele părți, mai arată sursa.

Pe 4 iunie 2024, SPIRMINA CORPORATION SRL a trimis o notificare prin care a reziliat promisiunea bilate...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Antonio-Daniel-Olaroiu--1200x942.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<description><![CDATA[]]></description>
							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Călin Georgescu has announced his retirement from political life. This comes after an extremely turbulent period during which Romanians endured just about every imaginable hardship. I think it's a wise decision. I have publicly stated many times that I do not believe he is capable of leading Romania or serving as a role model in politics. This feeling has been reinforced by several personal experiences we have had.
The most significant of these occurred in 2022, when I engaged in a shocking conversation with him on Antena 3, following his assertion that Ion Antonescu (former ruler of Romania in WWII, war criminal) and Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (head of the Legion, future Iron Guard, fascist movement) were heroes of the Romanian people. I asked him what heroic deeds Corneliu Zelea Codreanu had accomplished, considering he initiated the most important far-right movement in interwar Romania. It was a movement intertwined with anti-Semitism and political assassination. He told me that Codreanu fought for the dignity of human beings. I was perplexed for a few moments. He spoke with the confidence of a preacher sent to a tribe in the Amazon jungle. When he told me that he was not convinced that the assassination of Nicolae Iorga, Armand Călinescu, and other political enemies of the Captain was the work of the Legionnaires, I understood that he was not just ignorant but also a danger to the future. I countered him as precisely as I could, though I couldn't believe I was witnessing such a speech. At the time, I didn't realize the magnitude of the phenomenon, but I couldn't let it go unpunished. I believed it to be a conviction rather than an error in speech. His latest statements confirmed this.
Back then, I publicly stated that he was "a demagogic and ambiguous politician who exploits nationalism like a cow brought in from the communal pasture." In 2022, I saw a man who was capable of rewriting history. He calmly said that black was white and offered miraculous solutions to all of Romania's real problems. He did so without any remorse, twinge of conscience, or pity for those who hoped for real change in Romania. It was a social experiment that had the potential to propel Romania into a realm of political maneuvers aimed at geopolitical transformation, akin to a domino effect. At the time, I didn't understand all this, but I did see how it grew as a political experiment.
His meteoric rise, which culminated in him placing first in the presidential elections, put Romania in an extreme situation. It surrendered its strategic partnership with the US and its membership in the European Union in favor of a pro-Russian stance. Russia is an aggressive state with an imperialist policy, regardless of historical period or leader. For Russia, Romania has always been the key to the heart of the West and control of the Danube estuary. This explains the twelve Russian invasions of the Romanian territory between 1735 and 1944. The thirteenth invasion followed in the last months, much more subtle this time. The invasion did not occur through the use of force; instead, it involved gradual insinuation, aided by human "canned goods" and the vengeful desires of a generation of "young" retirees from the army, intelligence services, politics, and the press.
In a way that is still unclear to me, Călin Georgescu was the beneficiary of this situation. Did he know, accept, or understand? How much was wickedness, and how much was naivety? Where did true faith begin, and where did the desire for social advancement creep in?
I have asked myself these questions every time I see how his statements and public appearances intertwine with the actions of fanatics with military training. Have you forgotten Horațiu Potra's arsenal? He was a mercenary who provided money, protection, and plans for violent actions after the presidential elections were canceled. Initially, Călin Georgescu said with the serenity of a preacher in front of natives in the Amazon jungle that he did not know Potra. Then, following the emergence of video footage and irrefutable evidence, he admitted it. With the same serenity. It's a scenario that has been repeated.
Perhaps you no longer remember the Asociația Pământ Strămoșesc (Ancestral Land Association), which was founded by Georgescu and Bogdan Vacusta. Vacusta, a former DGIA officer, may have connections to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. You may also not remember Călin Georgescu's messages to Marian Motocu, who may have been a liaison between Georgescu's plans and GRU Colonel Evgheni Ignatiev, the Russian Federation's military attaché in Bucharest. You may also not remember the Vlad Țepeș Military Command, an organization supported by the Russians that aims to gather as many supporters of change by force as possible. The expulsion of the military attaché and his deputy from the Russian embassy is the result of this involvement.
However, I cannot ignore the climate of mistrust and the mistakes of p...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Calin-Georgescu-1-1200x760.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Today's vote in the European Parliament on the European Union's 2025 budget highlighted both political challenges and internal tensions in the pro-European coalition. PSD MEP Victor Negrescu, the Parliament's general rapporteur on the budget, expressed grave concerns about the Council's position and the direction in which negotiations on the financing of key EU programs are heading. Exclusive from Strasbourg, about money and politics.

The European Union's budget for 2025 comes in the context of the recent revision of the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), which sets the EU bloc's long-term financial limits and priorities. In this situation, the European Parliament has urged a return to the initial funding level of about €200 billion set forth by the European Commission for 2025. But the Council came up with proposals for budget cuts that Negrescu said amounted to an austerity budget.
Victor Negrescu's criticism
"With these cuts, the Council risks limiting the Union's capacity to respond to citizens' needs and to face current challenges, such as natural disasters or support for young people," Negrescu said.

The Parliament stressed the need to invest in critical areas. These include the area of health, with a request for an additional €50 million to fight cancer, prevent cardiovascular disease, and enhance mental health, all of which are priorities for both Parliament and the Council. Negrescu stressed the importance of protecting agriculture and supporting young farmers, as well as investing in transport infrastructure through the Connecting Europe Facility. Particular attention was paid to the funds for border protection and migration, where Parliament asked for significant increases: €25 million for the Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund, €35 million for border management, and €5 million for internal security.

Political tensions were present in the vote in addition to budgetary issues. Negrescu highlighted the rift within the pro-European coalition. "The tensions that have increased between the political groups caused by the growing closeness between the European People's Group and the European extremists have unfortunately once again prevented us from having a joint resolution of the European Parliament," the MEP said. "I can only focus on figures."
Optimistic, looking for a compromise
Negrescu said that as rapporteur he was in a "comfortable position" to negotiate without constraints on the budget. "Now I can focus exclusively on the figures and on defending the European Parliament's position," he added. Budget negotiations will continue in the coming weeks, with the next round of conciliation scheduled for 5 November. Despite the political tensions, Negrescu said he was optimistic that a compromise could be found that would meet the EU's investment needs.

"We want an ambitious but prudent budget that allows for strategic investments, not just expenses. These are not just costs, but essential investments for Europe's future," he concluded.

With the European Union facing major economic, climate, and geopolitical challenges, the stakes in these budget negotiations are high. The ability of the European institutions to reach an agreement that reflects citizens' priorities will determine the direction of the Union's development in the years to come.]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/rasturnare-de-situatie-anuntul-facut-de-victor-negrescu.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[O nouă ediție a podcastului „Hai live cu Turcescu” a fost difuzată în ziua de joi, 22 august, pe canalul de YouTube „Hai România”. În cadrul acestei emisii au fost prezenți Robert Turcescu, prozatorul Octavian Hoandră și Bogdan Comaroni.

Cei trei au abordat subiecte precum lipsa lecturii la popoarele din Europa, moartea lui Alain Delon și părerea acestuia despre globaliști, dar și despre globalismul de la noi din țară și cum se manifestă acesta.
Plecarea forței de muncă
După cum a evidențiat Bogdan Comaroni în cadrul podcastului „Hai live” cu Turcescu, există numeroși români care aleg să plece din țară. În acest fel, în România, nu mai există suficiente resurse.

El a mai precizat și că „sistemul social este practic falimentat. Pentru că și referitor la pensii și la astea, trebuie să facem împrumuturi pentru că numărul pensionarilor a crescut extrem de mult. Va crește în continuare, vor veni decrețeii, se va descărca imens pe sistemul de pensii. Și în spate nu are cine să vină să îl facă”.
Elitele în România
Bogdan Comaroni a mai evidențiat și că la noi în țară oricine poate să facă o facultate, indiferent de tipul acesteia, la stat sau la privat, cu taxă sau fără taxă.

În acest fel el declară că „practic România este distrusă din punctul de vedere al elitei. Și aici mă refer la elitele reale, nu la elitele din spate, adică a nomenclaturii. Care din nomenclatura comunisto-securistă s-a transformat în nomenclatura asta „deep state” care vine și suge din interior România față de corporații, multinaționale și alte ale elitelor care sug din exterior.

Pentru că nici banii de la taxe și impozite nu ne rămân în țară. Pentru că multicorporatismul îi scoate din țară. Nu ni se aplică nici măcar taxa banilor, care a fost aprobată în UE, ca banii să rămână în țară. Deci au găsit modalități să scoată banii din țară. Și în timp ce bugetul este paralizat și drenat și sufocat din toate părțile, românul ajunge să stea într-o chestiune, în care nici nu mai iese din casă, nici cu totul nu mai are nimic, încât nu se mai opune la nimic”.

https://youtube.com/shorts/VOCIykibl4E?si=lJU2uW85r-Jef2qX
O țară fără prosperitate
Un alt lucru care s-a mai evidențiat în cadrul acestui podcast este că numeroși români au ales să plece din străinătate. Iar în acest fel forța de muncă a fost înlocuită cu muncitori din alte popoare. Și nu există nimeni care să se opună, iar viitorul rămâne unul incert. „Pentru că pensionarii nu mai pot să se opună, nu mai au ce să facă. Ăștia de o vârstă cu noi suntem singurii care mai vorbim. Care am rămas în țară. Iar după noi mai vine o singură generație, a copiilor noștri, care ne-au ascultat pe noi, care mai știu ceva de la noi. După care vin niște generații care nu mai au niciun fel de legătură cu revoltă”, evidențiază Bogdan Comaroni.

„Într-o țară care se află în avarie, pentru că asta este România, o țară în avarie, și care își face dovada că există pe lângă economia reală o economie paralelă, unde se învârt bani și afaceri. Uită-te la mall-uri ce sunt, pe autostrăzi, ce mașini sunt.

Deci într-o Românie în care banii ăștia trebuiau să se întoarcă într-o prosperitate și care să aibă o creștere, țara este nenorocită și din ce în ce subpopulată. Asta în vreme ce o parte din bani se duc către aceste elite ale economiei paralele. Care în viitor, de fapt, nu vor produce o economie reală. Că de asta zic, România e falimentară din punct de vedere social. Adică al pensiilor, al ajutoarelor sociale, al sistemului medical. A tot ce te-ar interesa”, a evidențiat Bogdan Comaroni.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[„Luna de Miere” a Kamalei Harris se apropie de final, scepticismul și îndoielile cresc. De la „moștenirea” nominalizării Partidului Democrat pentru președinție fără luptă după retragerea lui Biden din 21 iulie, perioada de „lună de miere” a Kamalei Harris a fost marcată de mitinguri, imagini care să reflecte unitatea partidului democrat și o reflectare pozitivă constantă din partea mass-media americane tradiționale.

Cu toate acestea, perioada de fericire a Kamalei Harris se apropie de sfârșit, odată cu apropierea convenției democrate din 19-22 august.

Candidatura sa a reenergizat inevitabil un partid care se resemnase cu înfrângerea sub conducerea lui Joe Biden.

Strângerea impresionantă de fonduri (310 milioane de dolari doar în iulie) atestă reînnoirea acestui entuziasm. Deși Harris oferă democraților o șansă reală în lupta electorală, ea are în față în continuare o bătălie dificilă.
Harris nu a răspuns la nicio întrebare
Pe parcursul celor trei săptămâni de „spectacole”, Harris nu a răspuns la nicio întrebare a presei, a renunțat la interviuri și a evitat în mare parte orice anunț detaliat sau major de politică.

Întrebările persistente despre cine este Kamala Harris și ce reprezintă ea rămân în atenția publicului. Ea va încerca să răspundă la toate acestea la Convenția Democrată, deoarece personalitatea ei politică rămâne în mare parte nedefinită și netestată.

Deși sondajele cu rezultate îmbunătățite în unele state indecise arată că ea este ușor în fața lui Donald Trump, creșterea este în mare parte un salt care se încadrează în marja de eroare.
Harris nu se află în mod clar într-o poziție dominantă față de Trump
În ciuda entuziasmului mass-media și al partidului său, Harris nu se află în mod clar într-o poziție dominantă față de Trump. Super-încrederea în victorie riscă să o ducă la înfrângere.

În plus, inflația de 20% adaugă la un element important la problemele complicate ale guvernării democrate, combinată cu orizontul datelor economice negative.

Mai mult, tandemul Harris-Walz este cea mai de stânga echipă democrată din 1988 încoace, echipă care a fost învinsă categoric de republicani. Alegându-l pe guvernatorul din Minnesota, Tim Walz, ca partener de cursă, Harris a adoptat o abordare precaută pentru a-și liniști baza progresistă și a păstra unitatea partidului.

Anterior, cariera politică a lui Harris în California a fost marcată de pivotări între centru-stânga și extrema stângă, în funcție de necesitatea politică și circumstanțe. În California, această abordare a funcționat în mare parte, deoarece acolo republicanismul și conservatorismul sunt practic pe cale de dispariție.


Harris va avea dificultăți în a se deplasa spre centru
Cu toate acestea, pentru alegerile generale, ea va avea dificultăți în a se deplasa spre centru și a atrage un segment mai larg al electoratului național.

În mod specific, misiunea ei este să convingă mii de alegători independenți de identificarea sa solidă cu electoratul de centru în cele șapte state indecise care vor determina rezultatul alegerilor prezidențiale din 2024.

Sarcina ei va fi ușurată dacă Donald Trump va devia prea mult de la subiect și va dovedi că este un politician inconstant și imprevizibil. De la „încoronarea” lui Harris, fostul președinte a avut dificultăți în a formula o linie de atac eficientă împotriva lui Harris, inclusiv punându-i la îndoială rasa.

A eșuat din nou în interviul său de două ore cu Elon Musk pe X, din 12 august, referindu-se rar la ea în mod direct.



As Harris's Honeymoon Fades, Skepticism and Doubts Still Linger
Since inheriting the Democratic Party nomination for the presidency without a fight (contest) after Biden’s exit on July 21, Kamala Harris’s honeymoon period has been marked by rallies, optics of party unity, and consistent positive coverage by mainstream media.

However, the happy Harris tour is drawing to a close with the approaching Democratic convention on August 19-22. Her candidacy has inevitably re-energized a party that was resigned to defeat under Biden. Harris’s impressive fundraising ($310 million in July alone) attests to this renewed enthusiasm.
Harris has not answered any media questions
Although Harris gives Democrats a fighting chance, she still confronts an uphill battle. Throughout the three weeks of theatrics, Harris has not answered any media questions, discarded interviews, and largely avoided any detailed or major policy announcements. Lingering questions about who is Kamala Harris and what she represents persist.

She will attempt to answer these at the Democratic Convention as she remains largely undefined and untested. Although improving poll numbers show her slightly ahead of Trump in some swing states, they are largely an uptick that falls within the margin of error. Despite the media hype and her party’s enthusiasm, Harris is clearly not in a commanding position over Trump. Overconfidence risks defeat. Plus, 20% inflation adds to her complica...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Marco-Vicenzino-1200x843.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[La trei săptămâni după prestația sa dezastruoasă de la dezbatere, președintele american Joe Biden a ieșit din cursa prezidențială într-un mod fără precedent în istoria modernă a Americii.

El a fost înlăturat ca urmare a presiunii crescânde din partea aleșilor democrați, a activiștilor de partid, a unor segmente considerabile ale presei mainstream și, mai presus de toate, a marilor donatori care finanțează Partidul Democrat.

Acestea sunt aceleași persoane care au sprijinit pe deplin candidatura sa inițială, conștiente în mare măsură de declinul cognitiv al lui Biden. Pentru ei concluzia era că Biden l-a învins o dată pe Trump și că era singurul care putea să o facă din nou.

Punctul cel mai important pentru Biden era să fie în deplinătatea facultăților fizice pentru a trece cu succes linia de sosire pe 5 noiembrie, ziua alegerilor.
Orgoliul lui Biden nu l-a lăsat să iasă din cursă
Prăbușirea politică a lui Biden din dezbaterea din 27 iunie a declanșat panică masivă în rândurile partidului său și așa a început procesul de eliminare.

În încercarea sa de a supraviețui, Biden și-a asigurat sprijinul aripii stângi a partidului său, în special al senatorului Bernie Sanders și al entităților care reprezintă membrii Congresului din comunitățile de afro-americani și hispanici.

Cu toate acestea, presiunea din partea principalului establishment democrat s-a dovedit copleșitoare chiar și pentru cel mai puternic om din lume.

Orgoliul lui Biden nu l-a lăsat să iasă din cursă. Dar susținătorii săi inițiali l-au forțat să se retragă și apoi l-au lăudat pentru „altruismul” său, pentru că a cedat locul unui candidat din noua generație, vicepreședintelui Kamala Harris.
Întrebări serioase cu privire la legitimitatea democratică
Aceasta a fost încoronată instantaneu de conducerea partidului, fără nicio concurență pentru nominalizare și cu mai puțin de patru luni înainte de alegeri. Acest lucru ridică întrebări serioase cu privire la legitimitatea democratică în cea mai importantă democrație și cea mai puternică națiune din lume.

Cine este mai exact vicepreședintele Kamala Harris, persoana care a candidat la președinție în 2020 și nu a participat în 2024 la alegerile primare care stabilesc candidatul oficial al partidului la președinție?

Publicul american și lumea întreagă așteaptă să înțeleagă în mod exact pe cine anume reprezintă ea.

Stafful ei de campanie speră să rezolve acest lucru până la 19 august, când începe Convenția de trei zile a Partidului Democrat, și este de așteptat ca Harris să fie încoronată oficial drept candidatul partidului la președinție.

The Biden Ouster, and Harris Coronation
By Marco Vicenzino

Three weeks after his disastrous debate performance, U.S. President Joe Biden exited the presidential race in a manner unprecedented iin modern American history.

He was toppled due to mounting pressure from Democratic elected officials, party activists, considerable segments of mainstream media and, above all, large donors who fund the Democratic Party.

These are the same characters who fully supported his initial run, largely aware of Biden’s cognitive decline. For them, the bottom line was that Biden defeated Trump once and he was the only one who could do it again. The key was for Biden to be just fit enough to successfully reach the finish line on November 5, Election Day.

Biden’s political collapse at the June 27 debate triggered massive panic in his party’s ranks and the ouster process began.
Biden’s ego did not want to exit the race
In his bid to survive, Biden secured the support of the left wing of his party, particularity from Senator Bernie Sanders and the entities representing the congressional members of the Black and Hispanic communities.

However the pressure from the mainstream Democratic establishment proved too overwhelming for the most powerful man in the world.

Biden’s ego did not want to exit the race. His original supporters forced him out and then praised him for his ‘selflessness’ in giving way to a new generation candidate, his Vice President Kamala Harris.
Serious questions about democratic legitimacy
She was instantly coronated by the party establishment with no competition for the nomination, and less than four months before the election. This raises serious questions about democratic legitimacy in the world’s leading democracy, and most powerful nation.

Who exactly is Vice President Kamala Harris, the person who ran for President in 2020 and failed to participate in the actual state primaries that determine the party’s official candidate for president?

The American public, and the world, are on standby to effectively comprehend what exactly she represents.

Her campaign hopes to establish that by August 19 when the three-day Democratic Party Convention begi...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Marco-Vicenzino-1200x843.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Prosecutors are looking into Florian Coldea for his possible involvement in and protection of a drug trafficking network that operates in Romania, Albania, and Mexico. The blonde woman imprisoned in the DIICOT case "Network M," which Coldea and Dumbravă were able to conceal through specific means, is represented by his girlfriend, Marina Pandarof.

This new development came last night from Anca Alexandrescu, a journalist from Realitatea Plus. Florian Coldea and Dumitru Dumbravă are under investigation by the prosecutors, and they have revealed some startling new information. Supporting documentation is beginning to emerge, confirming the startling revelations regarding the scope of General Coldea's "consultincies" operations over the years.

It was clear for some time that the information was obviously false, but it has since become clear and is the subject of an investigation by prosecutors that the network of influence and blackmail that Coldea and Dumbrava used to coerce businessmen into paying large sums of money was real. Let us begin, at least for this one time, with the presumption of guilt that the DNA prosecutors are currently operating under. What you initially learn from the text below will shock you.
The FBI is looking into this issue very seriously.
Even simpler: Florian Coldea, a prominent Albanian politician's relative, assisted Marina Pandarof in joining a global drug trafficking organization. Massive quantities of cocaine were brought into Romania through a clandestine route, first from the Sinaloa cartel in Albania and then from Mexico.

Here, the "M Network" provided drugs to the capital's VIPs. Those who patronized Coldea's girlfriend included powerful businessmen, prominent politicians, generals, and millionaires with ties to the political class—in other words, people who enjoyed wild parties complete with cocaine and escorts.
Coldea's role in this whole situation was a strategic one, no doubt
No operational second was involved, but he guaranteed the protection of all those involved in the network and  he also did something downright diabolical. We are talking about the fact that he filmed and recorded every sort of parties and organization organized by the "M Network". In this way, he comes into possession of different photos and evidence, as compromising as possible, that later provided him with evidentiary material in his blackmail files and negotiations for his "consulting" contracts.

Today we are exclusively publishing the first photo of Florian Coldea next to his girlfriend, Marina Pandarof, and also of Dorian Duçka, the contact person of the Albanian underworld and drug traffickers who helped Coldea and Marina Pandarof lay the foundations of a distribution network of amazing narcotics in Romania.

[caption id="attachment_4493404" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Florian Coldea and Marina Pandarof 4Sursa: Realitatea Plus[/caption]

The photo was taken in Berlin, where the three met to set up drug deals on the Mexico-Albania-Bucharest chain. As you can see, General Coldea was so much in love with his fatal blonde! In the meantime, what was announced to be an explosive file, "M Network," covered up like a book, and Coldea's girlfriend got out of jail without problems and nothing has happened since then in this case that seemed like a bomb.
In the next period, public opinion is going to discover a new face of General Coldea
The Romanian prosecutors are investigating all the criminal activity of the mafia general and already have discovered all his hidden plots. Coldea did everything possible to erase its traces, but the many years of activity in the underground of society leave traces that can never be erased for sure.

Today we unveil the film of an operation that the press has written about since October 2022, but without too many details. This relates to Florian Coldea's girlfriend, the "M network," who was detained and the subject of an investigation by DIICOT prosecutors nearly two years ago. However, General Coldea used his network of judges and prosecutors to cover up the case as effectively as possible. Set up and turned over by Florian Coldea to his partner, Marina Pandarof, a Slatina native with an exotic name, served as the network's chief executive.

A stereotypical blonde is the definition of a luxury escort, with a lot of "classic" pictures on Instagram for the job in question: private planes, luxury hotels, expensive cars, big jewelry, diamonds, and a lot of luxury and opulence.
Spectacular case, less results
In October 2022, DIICOT started a series of searches and detentions after "Coldea's blonde woman" was allegedly stalked for several months and caught red-handed while selling a few grams of cocaine, cashing the money on Revolut right in front of a luxury restaurant in Bucharest. And this is where everything we know about this DIICOT file ends, because later Coldea's ''octopus'', made up of an army of influential people from the justice s...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Florian-Coldea-si-Marina-Pandarof-2024.jpeg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[DNA acussations against three well-known people exploded yesterday, 23 mai 2024. They were questioned from noon till 03.00 o'clock in the morning.

With a bail of 500,000 lei (100.000 euros), Florian Coldea, the former deputy director of SRI, is under court supervision. Lawyer Doru Trăilă and retired General Dumitru Dumbravă are both subject to the same measure. In a DNA case, the three are charged with money laundering and influence peddling. The three suspects were still at DNA headquarters at three in the morning.

Up until 2017, Florian Coldea served as Romania's deputy director of intelligence.He was outsted after a public scandal involving money and political involvment during Traian Băsescu presidential mandate. General Dumitru Dumbravă was the head of the SRI’s legal department during the tenure of General Florian Coldea, the former military chief of SRI. After Coldea’s retirement in 2017, Dumbravă served as the secretary general of SRI until his own retirement in 2018. Both were been accused of interfering in the judiciary to obtain certain outcomes in criminal cases.

Coming back to the case, according to G4Media sources, out of the 100,000 euros that businessman Cătălin Hideg allegedly gave to Florian Coldea and Dumitru Dumbravă, were split. 20,000 euros went to lawyer Trăilă, while the remaining 80,000 euros were divided between Coldea and Dumbravă. Under judicial supervision, the former deputy SRI chief is being held on a 500,000 lei bail.
DNA start an investigation after a businessmen denunciation
When Sanimed International's owner was first found guilty of using fraudulent documents and money laundering, he received a four-year prison sentence. His case was investigated by the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), the first of its kind in Romania, under the direction of Laura Codruța Kovesi.

In April, Cătălin Hideg made public that he had been asked for 600,000 euros plus VAT by Florian Coldea and Dumitru Dumbravă in order to "optimize" his corruption case.

While Coldea continues to be questioned at the DNA, but Cătălin Hideg described the process by which he was approached to obtain money in order to have his criminal case dismissed.
"I think more than 100 people told me that Mr. Coldea was the only one who could handle my situation during the two years I was placed under judicial control in Romania.

When I signed the contract with them, they said that normally, if things go well, if the judge at the tribunal, who was Mr. Trăilă’s student, gives a positive resolution, the appeal court would be simpler, and we would reduce those years joyfully," said Cătălin Hideg on Antena 3 CNN.
Coldea blackmailed Hideg
Cătălin Hideg disclosed how he was blackmailed by Florian Coldea and provided information about those involved in the criminal network:

"Dan Tocaci talked to Bogdan Neidoni, Bogdan Neidoni talked to Mr. Coldea, and Mr. Coldea talked to Mr. Dumbravă. Dumbravă received me in his office to discuss the situation, explaining the conditions for optimizing this situation. Then he recommended Mr. Trăilă," he said.

At noon, 23 mai 2024, Florian Coldea, the former deputy director of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI), was being questioned at the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA). In the process where he is accused of blackmail by businessman Cătălin Hideg.

Hideg also accuses Coldea and his alleged "group" of trying to force him to sell his healthcare business to foreign investors. Entering the DNA headquarters, Coldea refused to answer journalists' questions. Earlier, former head of the SRI’s legal department, General Dumitru Dumbravă, also entered the DNA headquarters.
Very serious acusations
The accusations against Florian Coldea are "extremely serious." According to judicial sources cited by Gândul, the former SRI deputy has serious accusations to explain to the anticorruption prosecutors. Considering these accusations, preventive measures against him are not excluded.

Hideg claims that the group led by Florian Coldea falsified accusations and files to pressure him into selling his healthcare business to foreigners, particularly French citizens. Their plan was to turn Hideg's business into another Hexipharma, a failed business that also ended up in French hands.

Cătălin Hideg provided an audio recording as evidence, which was aired during the "Behind the Parallel State" show on Realitatea Plus.]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Florian-Coldea-la-DNA-mai-2024-e1719512256448.jpeg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Florian Coldea, the former Deputy Director of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI), is being questioned on Thursday morning at the National Anti-Corruption Directorate (DNA) headquarters. In a case where he is accused of blackmail by businessman Cătălin Hideg.

Hideg also accuses Coldea, along with his alleged "group," of trying to coerce him into selling his healthcare business to foreign investors.
"Extremely serious" charges have been made against Florian Coldea
Gândul cites judicial sources that state that the former SRI deputy must defend himself before anti-corruption prosecutors against a barrage of "very serious" charges.

"Florin Coldea faces grave accusations, and prosecutors tasked with fighting corruption will need to hear from him in great detail. "Preventive measures against him are not excluded in light of these accusations," the sources said.

[caption id="attachment_4399162" align="alignnone" width="1598"] Sursa foto: Arhiva EVZ[/caption]

According to Hideg, the Florian Coldea-led group fabricated accusations and brought legal action against him in an attempt to coerce him into selling his healthcare company to foreigners, particularly French nationals.

According to reports, their intention was to make Hideg's company into a clone of Hexipharma 2, a company that failed and was eventually acquired by the French.
Hideg recordings
"HIDEG: Toni asked Coldea, Coldea gave the OK to Dumbravă (Gen. Dumitru Dumbravă), Dumbravă received us because Neidoni sent us to Dumbravă, and Coldea was actually both of them.

Now, honestly, with all the scandal around these people, who knows on what recordings Trăilă with Dumbravă, Dumbravă with that guy... Dumbravă says in the recording, Dumbravă says that the boss is upset."
Accusations also against retired general Dumitru Dumbravă
Accusations are also directed against retired general Dumitru Dumbravă, a close associate of Florian Coldea.

It appears that he allegedly used his influence, whether real or simulated, over some magistrates, promising troubled businessmen that he could help them get off easily in exchange for sums of money.

Cătălin Hideg provided an audio recording as evidence, which was broadcast during several talk shows.

HIDEG: "But what do you think Trăilă wanted to do with them? It was like this: this guy needs to give us 200,000 at the preliminary chamber until the end. Take the money. I only gave him 100,000 because I didn't have any more. As my company was dying, I put the money into the company as much as I could to pay the salaries of 66 people. After that, I said: I don't have any more money to pay you! From that moment, Coldea went crazy! He started threatening Dumbravă and this guy to fire me and leave me on the street, saying he would put someone in front of me that he didn't want to hear anymore.

Tocaci keeps saying: Man, TC is mad at you. Now, honestly, with all the scandal with these people, who knows on what recordings Trăilă with Dumbravă, Dumbravă with that guy...

That guy is mad at you. What do you think they did? They forced the issue, hoping that the judge would listen to them and we would enter the Court of Appeal with the favorable situation they promised me," the recording states.]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Florian-Coldea-la-DNA-1200x794.png" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<description><![CDATA[]]></description>
							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Golden Matrioshka. AUR was an anti-establishment party. Its initial advantage stemmed from the exotic aura of its members who entered Parliament, surprising everyone. Defenders of faith, family-oriented, like Gigi Becali and somewhat idealistic, we easily overlooked George Simion's blunders, his sympathetic civic activist persona often overshadowing his lack of depth. Looking at him, one might say he deserved a chance, especially since some of his colleagues, like Claudiu Târziu or Sorin Lavric, possessed the intellectual consistency that the leader lacked. It appeared to be a party striving to build a nationalism on solid foundations, which many voters sought. The split with Diana Șoșoacă gave hope. However, things have since changed. The 2024  RetuRO Operation began.

Slowly but surely, the party has been rising in the polls, exuding a sense of promise for the future. AUR is now an increasingly coveted political entity. However, in recent times, it has begun to resemble the PSD and PNL during their "glory days". Like its predecessors, AUR has transformed politics into a business. Money is demanded for positions in Parliament, and seats on electoral lists are offered in exchange for media exposure. The identity of those entering the political arena is of little concern; what matters is what they bring with them – be it money, fame, or audacity.

Recently, a man whom I admire, Chris Terheș, contemplated leaving the party due to these unethical practices. Despite efforts to persuade him to stay, he remained deeply discontented.
The Golden Matrioshka
The intertwining of AUR and political maneuvering is evident. Like a Matrioshka. Maricel Păcuraru was known to negotiate appearances on La Famiglia TV talk shows in exchange for spots on AUR's electoral lists, with members of the Păcuraru clan seeking "coledji". If they adhered to the campaign budget, La Famiglia/Realitatea TV would be even more content. Gheorghe Piperea, the controversial lawyer often criticized by students, earns €10,000 a month in Brussels while supposedly defending our sovereignty, all the while working for AUR's clients.

Meanwhile, Cozmin Gușă, the politician ousted from two parties over dubious links with Russia, is vying for a position at City Hall, knocking on AUR's doors for support. Like any escaped nobleman who once served in the Tsar's court (be it Nastase, Plahotniuc, Vanghelie, or Băsescu, take your pick), one knows the (counter)value of capturing the attention of the "real estate sharks". In 2021, Marius Lulea, previously known as the Black Man and a cover for SIE, now stands as a courageous fellow traveler. Consistency, dear George, remains a rarity.
Old Joke
There is nothing novel under the sun, or as the elders say, "The joke's old, the fool's new!" These individuals constitute an eternal matrix of politics, shifting from one ideology to another. Yesterday they were unionists, today they pose as social democrats, tomorrow they align as NATO supporters, and the day after, they profess sovereignty. They lack scruples, adhering only to their self-interests, portraying themselves as the 'smart boys' of politics.

Clearly, George Simion is not deterred by this filth; in fact, there are moments when he publicly admires it. He recognizes the Matrioshka potential, understanding that the lack of consistency within AUR's organizational structure can only be remedied in one manner. How? As the old saying goes.
Simion's directive was clear
He instructed the organizations:

"Bring them all in, regardless of your doubts or their dubious characters, as crooks. Keep them under surveillance, but ensure their inclusion because this year doesn't end in June; it ends in December. We need every vote to surpass the PSD and PNL, so that the PSD-PNL-UDMR coalition no longer commands 50%. This is our primary goal, and we must fight for it," declared AUR president George Simion in a leaked recording that reached the press.






George Simion has denied the existence of this recording, but leaders within AUR have confirmed its authenticity to me. He was fully aware of his words, carefully choosing them with precision. There was no slip of the tongue; rather, he delivered a deliberate message intended to stir waves and reach the ears of the right audience, while also allowing for plausible deniability.

The message was directed to the "smart guys" across various domains and regions: "Join AUR; we have ample spots on the electoral list. Your past deeds and identity matter little; what counts is securing the votes." The Golden Matrioshka is made of AUR. (AUR is the Romanian name for Gold)

Cuplul care urma să făurească „omul nou”: Corneliu și Elena Zelea Codreanu. Care a fost destinul celor doi oameni care au avut cea mai mare nuntă din secolul XX?

Corneliu Zelea Codreanu a reprezentat o figură controversată a istoriei interbelice. Născut într-o familie bucovineană cu origini mixte, viitorul lider extremist al Mișcării Legionare avea să fie pătruns de un naționalism românesc și de un radicalism creștin ortodox fără precedent. Fanatismul își făcea debutul în istoria politicii românești.

Corneliu Zelea Codreanu dezvoltase o mistică a omului nou, religioasă, anti-semită, inițiatică, vorbea în lucrările sale Pentru Legionari, Cărticica Șefului de Cuib despre trepte, despre omul care intră ca profan, tree prin Mlaștina deznădejdii, Pădurea cu fiare, ajunge la Muntele de Pietate și devine legionar. Băieții formau frății de cruce iar fetele și femeile legionare, cetățui.

Legionarii au creat Ajutorul Legionar, au făcut tabere de muncă, vor construi diguri pe Olt, un drum de acces spre Mânăstirea Arnota, Vâlcea. Vor face cărămizi care vor fi folosite la Catedrala din Drăgășani, numită Biserica Legionarilor și azi. Au reparat la București, Biserica Sfântul Ilie Gorgani și apoi își vor edifica sediul lor, numit Casa Verde la București, Strada Gutenberg Nr.3.
Corneliu și Elena  - începuturile
Corneliu Codreanu s-a născut la Huși la 13 septembrie 1899, în județul Fălciu.  A fost fiul lui Ion Zelinski, acesta românizându-și numele în Codreanu și al Elizei Brauner, o etnică bavareză. Alături de alți tineri studenți din Iași și prieteni precum Ionel Moța, Ilie Gârneață, Corneliu Georgescu, Radu Mironovici, Corneliu Codreanu, care a devenit apoi Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, a fost sedus de propaganda antisemită a profesorului A.C. Cuza. din Facultatea de Drept a Univeristății din Iași.

AC Cuza spunea că evreii începuseră să monopolizeze meseriile de medic, avocat, farmacist, iar copiii românilor nu aveau acces la studii superioare în aceste domenii. AC Cuza crease Liga Apărării Național Creștine prima formațiune care avea o unitate paramilitară, numită a „lăncierilor”.
Era fiica unui ceferist
Elena Ilinoiu s-a născut la 2 decembrie 1902, la Dedulești, Brăila. Fiică a unui funcționar de la CFR, a urmat cursurile Facultății de Litere unde l-a și cunoscut pe Corneliu Zelea Codreanu student la Drept.  Corneliu Zelea Codreanu a făcut des cunoștință cu bătăile Poliției, arestul din Iași iar în cursul unei confruntări, îl va împușca mortal pe Prefectul Poliției Iași, Constantin Manciu în 1924. Judecat în 1925 la Turn Severin, Codreanu a fost, surprinzător,  achitat ceea ce îi  va crește exponențial influența și imaginea.

Pe 24 iunie 1927 va pune bazele Legiunii Arhanghelului Mihail. În intervalul 1925-1927 își  va oficializa relația cu Elena Ilinoiu. Se vor căsători civil la Huși, iar la 14 iunie 1925, lângă Focșani, se vor cununa religios, cu o procesiune de 100 000 oameni în straie naționale, cununiile având svastici, naș fiind AC Cuza. Cuplul va adopta o fetiță, Cătălina.
Corneliu și Elena - Mișcarea Legionară
Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, timp de 11 ani în perioada 1927-1938, a încercat să creeze o forță politică militarizată cu grade, uniformă reprezentată de cămașa verde cu diagonală și revolver. El era Căpitanul, ajutat de comandanți și ajutori de comandanți. Din 1933, au  început asasinatele politice (a murit asasinat premierul IG Duca la finalul anului 10333), s-au făcut liste ale morții în 1936. Carol al II-lea îi vâna pe legionari fără milă (au murit Gheorghe Clime, Vasile Christescu, lidera femeilor legionare Nicoleta Nicolescu), dar mișcarea va crește (Vasile Iașinski, Vasile Marin, Horia Sima, Grigore Cantacuzino-Grăniceru au devenit membri) deși fusese scoasă în afara legii. Partidul Totul pentru Țară în 1937, va ocupa  al treilea loc la alegeri, dar Carol îi ignora.
De ce a ajuns la închisoare
Corneliu va ajunge la închisoare, după ce îl va apostrofa pe Nicolae Iorga și pe 3o noiembrie 1938, va fi asasinat alături de Nicadori, asasinii lui I G Duca și de Decemviri asasinii legionarului Mihail Stelescu, dizident, considerat trădător. Elena și Cătălina au fugit în Germania, unde au stat până în 1940, când Horia Sima devenea lider al Gărzii de Fier și membru în Guvern. Elena Codreanu primea un automobil de la Ministerul Înzestrării Armatei, locuind la Huși. Rebeliunea legionară din ianuarie 1941 nu o va afecta, ea deținea un debit de tutun și păstra dreptul de a întreține debitul de tutun.Va rezista  timp de 6 ani, după venirea comuniștilor din 1944 până în 1950, când este arestată și i se confiscă mașina.
Elena Codreanu devine „doamna colonel Praporgescu”
Perioada 1950-1963 o găsea pe Elena Codreanu în mai multe închisori, Târgșor, Mislea, Oradea. Fusese membră a organizațiilor legionare de femei, denumite Cetățui.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ion Țiriac's grandchildren have moved out of Romania to Dubai with their mother, Ileana Lazariuc, who was previously married to Ion Țiriac Jr. This news was revealed by Lili Sandu, a close friend of Anastasia Lazariuc's daughter. 

Ileana Lazariuc, the ex-wife of Ion Țiriac Jr., took her two children and left Romania for good. The disclosure was made by Lili Sandu, one of the best friends of Anastasia Lazariuc's daughter.

Ileana Lazariuc, real name Elena Crigănuță, was part of the band Triniti, together with Andreea Crișan and Lili Sandu. The latter told what happened to the two former colleagues.
Țiriac grandchildrens moved to Dubai
It is known that Ileana Lazariuc retired from the spotlight for many years, dedicating herself to raising her children and Țiriac Jr. First they lived in Paris, then she returned to Romania. And now let's find out that he chose another country.

Ileana Lazariuc, who debuted as a model, now lives in Dubai with her two boys, Lili Sandu said. Asked by Horia Brenciu if she still keeps in touch with her former colleagues, Lili Sandu said yes. Tor she said where the two friends settled.

"Andreea Crișan is in San Francisco, she works in Silicon Valley. Ileana Lazariuc is in Dubai, she moved there with the children," said Lili Sandu. She did not give more information about the reason for the decision to leave Romania for good.
Alexandru Ion Țiriac, 17 years of relationship
Alexandru Ion Țiriac and Ileana Lazariuc have been a couple for 17 years and have 2 children together. They divorced in great secrecy in 2017, and this was only known after two years. Even though they are no longer married, they still have a very good relationship.

Alexandru Țiriac, the eldest son of Țiriac jr and Ilena Lazariuc, was born in Paris on March 7, 2008, and the youngest son is Nicholas Noah, who was born on June 19, 2009. The Jr. is sharing the same passion about cars.
Anastasia Lazariuc, about her daughter Ileana Lazariuc
Ileana Lazariuc was lucky because her mother did not interfere in her life. Anastasia Lazariuc admitted this saying that everyone has the right to go their own way.

“The decisions will belong to him, as they belonged to me. Ileana is 40 years old, I don't get involved in making decisions about her life. The important thing is that she is healthy and will remain the most beautiful and beloved child. The decisions will belong to him, as they belonged to me when my mother did not agree with me singing, but I did it.

The mother was wise, she only knew that a woman should not be on the road, but stay at home to raise her children. That's what he wanted. But I wanted something else, and I did what I wanted. It's the right of children to do what they want, we bring them into the world, but we don't direct them. Obviously we give them advice, but they choose, especially when they grow up. We parents must have the patience and reconciliation to let them go their way. They also have their divine plan, from somewhere, each one to do what he is given", declared Anastasia recently.]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/tiriac-6-1024x683.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The proposals of the liberals to combine the local elections with the presidential ones have so far been rejected by the PSD.

The merging the dates of the elections in Romania, a thorn in the roses of the government. A PSD group, increasingly insistent lately, opposes the idea of combining the dates of elections this year. According to some political sources, the aim is to discreetly favor the AUR and push the PNL out of government. A scenario that changes the political scene. The winter of enmity...

"The desire of the nationalist wing of PSD is to get closer to George Simion. They are trying to impose a plan B for PSD, i.e. a government with AUR", state well-informed political sources. So far, there has been no reaction from the Cotroceni Palace to the counters between the two parties. Marcel Ciolacu is not part of this action, being aware that he cannot present himself to the European leaders with such a variant. But not everyone in the party is of the same opinion.

PSD was insensitive to the arguments related to the high costs of organizing so many elections. But also the fatigue of the electorate, which would be called to the polls 5 times in half a year. In 2024 we will vote in European, local, parliamentary and two presidential elections. In fact, the greatest danger that analysts see is the rise of extremism amid electoral fatigue.
Merging elections, a strategic obstacle
Despite the denials from Marcel Ciolacu, the idea of flirting with AUR is starting to take hold in the PSD, following the model of the Red Alliance/Patrulaterul Roșu from 1992-1996, patented by former communist leader of PSD Ion Iliescu and two extremists: Ilie Verdeț and Corneliu Vadim Tudor. Many pesedists believe that there is a natural right of the PSD to dictate in any coalition in which it is present. They are dissatisfied with the current balance between liberals and social democrats in government and Parliament. But especially Marcel Ciolacu's personal relationship with Nicolae Ciucă.

The solution considered by some pesedists is the shadow support of the AUR agenda, with the hope that the AUR will rise to second place, and Marcel Ciolacu will enter the 2nd round of the presidential elections with George Simion. Moreover, with the presidential elections being the last in the series, the two potential candidates would hope to share most of the seats in the Parliament.

However, some politicians may find that the USR's current strategy to attack the PNL is bankrupt. Because by demonizing the PNL, the USR loses any chance to impose a common, right-wing presidential candidate and loses any chance to enter the Parliament with more seats. This would lead to a USR-PNL alliance, which would complicate the PSD situation.
History of wrong decisions
But, as it proved in the not too distant past, see the Victor Ponta - Crin Antonescu alliance, respectively PSD-PNL, how many times the PSD got greedy and ended up in the opposition.

This time, however, playing with extremist forces can be extremely risky for democracy. Especially if George Simion were to reach the second round of the presidential elections. And he would win them only because PSD got greedy for GOLD.

This scenario could totally backfire against the PSD. Because there is a very strong current at the top of the European Union that advocates the isolation of extremists throughout the Union and in each member country. The Party of European Socialists (of which the PSD is a part) is the most vehement in this regard. Warnings to European socialists were very clear about links with extremist and anti-European parties.]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/IMG_2667-1200x715.jpeg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[A press release from Ministry of Defence in Romania announce a new mobilization operation.

Mobilization The Romanian Ministry of National Defense has announced mobilization exercises in six counties during 2024. According to Evenimentul Zilei, the counties targeted by these exercises will be determined later. Detailed information about specific periods and locations will be provided by the ministry's public information structures.

These exercises are part of routine activities carried out annually and are aimed at strengthening the ability to mobilize forces, including coordination between active and reservist soldiers, as well as specific training for each type of weapon. The Ministry of Defense emphasized that these maneuvers are essential to ensure the proper preparation of the population, the economy and the national territory for defense purposes.
Mobilization of reservists
The ministry noted that employers are required to grant reservists who are employees of companies a paid leave of up to five days, based on a certificate issued by the military center. Convocations for reservists will be sent through the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

These mobilization exercises are an annual obligation under national legislation on the state of mobilization and defense readiness. The Ministry of Defense stated that these activities are part of an annual plan to verify defense readiness, approved by the Supreme Council of Defense of the Country. Also, the military centers will continue updating the personal data of the reservists, respecting the legal provisions in force.

Army mobilization refers to the process of preparing and assembling military forces for active service, especially in response to a national emergency, crisis, or impending conflict. Mobilization typically involves several key activities. From activation of reservists, to coordination with government and civilian entities. Mobilization involves ensuring that the armed forces have the necessary equipment, supplies, and logistics support. This can include distributing weapons, ammunition, vehicles, and other military equipment, as well as organizing transportation and supply lines.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[A new church is raising in Romania. A romanian millionaire, with Faith in God, will finished it.

The church that George Becali is building is almost complete. We learned the details exclusively. EVZ paparazzi captured the moment when the last golden spire is being worked on. As you can see from the pictures, the last hundred meters of work has been started, something that pleases the landowner.

George Becali, also known as Gigi Becali, is one of the richest Romanians. With a fortune of over 500 million euros, he is the patron of the FCSB football team. An extremely popular soccer team.

Practically, the businessman's wife also participated in this foundation. Although he had such a project in mind as early as 2008, it is only now that the landowner's dream is being completed. At that time, Becali said that if Steaua beat Galatasaray then he would make a place of worship.
Gigi Becali, a dream comes true
Finally, the landowner received all the necessary authorizations and started construction in 2020. The place of worship is made in the style of Russian churches. Behind the place there will be a hotel where the priests who come to serve in the capital will be accommodated at the request of Becali. Becali personally took care of the project

In fact, he personally took care of the project. The way the altar is built, also how the icons are placed and everything that means church arrangement. George Becali took care of all these things.

Not even the cathedral bells escaped the selection, the businessman also chose them. Because he wanted a unique cathedral in Europe, the interior is painted with gold leaf. Another 13 bells will be brought to the Church and they will be able to perform different religious songs. They will be computer controlled.
He refused a offer to sell the land
Although he was made a handsome offer to sell that land, Becali refused. And the investment in this church amounted somewhere to 10 million euros. The church will be about 40 meters high, including the cross on the roof. The place of worship also has a basement.

It is estimated that in the spring of this year, the church will be completed. It remains to be seen which priests George Becali will bring to the consecration of the place of worship. And also if it will be finished by Easter.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Gabriel Comanescu is a wealthy businessman. His life is linked with offshore oil business. 

Businessman Gabriel Comănescu emerged out of nowhere in 1997 when he decided to make a smart acquisition. He then bought the oil drilling company Foserco Târgu Ocna when it was privatized. Where he got the money from remains a mystery.

This is because nobody knows from where Gabriel Comănescu appeared and nor the source of his funding. What is certain is that he proved to be a good manager. As a result, in 2001 he bought another important factory from the state. More precisely, the investment was in the 1 Mai Ploiești machinery factory for the oil and gas industry.

However, after some time, both companies went bankrupt. The debts left to the state budget were 90 million lei. Comănescu did not give up. In 2004, he started over and established his main company. The one with which he subsequently developed all his businesses, more exactly Grup Servicii Petroliere.

As a result, in 2005 this new company took over the oil platforms from the state, more precisely from the former company Petrom. It seems that this time the money came from a loan taken from BCR. It was about a credit of 125 million dollars, which would have covered 85% of the entire value of the transaction.
Comănescu's companies are champions in debts to the state
"Regarding the platforms, it is not something new. They were bought with a syndicated loan arranged by Anglo-Romanian Bank London, together with BCR. Later Credit Suisse also entered. In the first stage, the loan was 100 and something million for purchasing the assets, platforms, and even with the assets in Iran, those two in Iran… (…) I had an understanding with Petrom since 2004 that I would start investing in platforms."

As a result, the new OMV Petrom began to rent the platforms from Comănescu's company. The two parties have a contract that expires in 2027. Also, Black Sea Oil & Gas carries out its activity with the help of Comănescu's companies. Also, in 2021 it was announced that his company was to benefit from 600 million euro projects from the PNRR.

However, there is something that stands out about Comănescu's companies: the debts to the state. Since the 2000s, he has left debts to the state, and now, his companies would accumulate claims of hundreds of millions at ANAF."]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/gabriel-comanescu-1024x683.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Bucharest sent an open letter to the editor of Evenimentul Zilei. Worried about our answer, they will contact the MAE. To protect the right to privacy of a Russian officer killed in the invasion of Ukraine. 
In fact, it is an endurance test of the Romanian press.

The series of pressures exerted by the Russian Federation to delete an article published two months ago by Evenimentul Zilei continues.

An article in which, citing entirely external sources, presented the case of a Russian colonel killed in a firefight in Ukraine. A high-ranking officer who “died in a battle, as an officer with a gun in his hands, but we must admit that these hands are up to the elbows bathed in blood. He and his subordinates, under his orders, systematically terrorized the population of the Belgorod region, violated their rights and freedoms. Previously, Stesev killed civilians in Chechnya, Yugoslavia, Abkhazia and on the territory of Ukraine,“ said those from the Russian Freedom Legion at the time. In other words, a military man liable for war crimes, who found his end in the invasion of Ukraine.
What bothers Russia so much? Our answer
I said that we will not delete the article because the request addressed to the editor is inadmissible. Especially since it came from an institution of the Russian Federation, invoking the legislation of the Russian Federation. Mr. Ambassador Kuzmin, if you haven't found out, we are no longer part of the Socialist Camp, we are no longer part of the Warsaw Treaty, CAER, we no longer have a Daddy in the Kremlin that we have to take into consideration.

You should have remained diplomatically silent. Especially since we are talking about a Russian military man participating in an illegal aggression against a sovereign state, Ukraine. In fact, a criminal, because that is the only way a military man who kills unarmed civilians can be qualified.
Report on the atrocities of the Russians
In the Kherson case, “at least 36 victims interviewed by Ukrainian prosecutors mentioned the use of electric shocks during interrogations, often genital shocks, as well as threats of genital mutilation. One victim was forced to witness the rape of another detainee, the report states.

According to the report, those most likely to be subjected to torture were the military, but also law enforcement, volunteers, activists, community leaders, medical workers and teachers. According to the report, the most frequently used torture techniques were suffocation, waterboarding, severe beatings and threats of rape", according to an international report.
I am convinced that in this case too the Russian Federation took care to respect their right to private life.
A word of advice to the Russian ambassador: Next time you better sink in silence!

This time, an open letter was published on a pro-Russian propaganda website in Romania. In which we are notified that we will be the subject of a diplomatic approach. They only have Freedom of expression in Romania is much more important than a threat with a diplomatic note. But because they still felt the need to express themselves, we respect their right to reply.

We also send them a less diplomatic note: Say that we violated the right to privacy. Much less and not at all significant compared to what you are doing in Ukraine!

How can you consider yourselves diplomats and representatives of a democratic state when you are aware of the cases of Alexei Navalny, Sergei Skripal, Anna Politovskaia, Vladimir Kara-Murza, Aleksandr Litvinenko, Alexandr Perepilichnyy, Viktor Yushchenko, to name just a few some examples?

If I also tell you about Georgi Markov and the famous Bulgarian umbrella, full of KGB poison, I think they bring back pleasant memories for you, Mr. Ambassador. But perhaps the notion of conscience is not peculiar to Russian diplomats. And then, by way of consequence, arrogance and lying are part of the job description.
Reaction of the Russian Embassy to the article in the Event of the Day
"On June 5, 2023, on the "Evenimentul Zilei" website, Mr. Mihai Soica's article "Rebels have liquidated an important colonel of the Russian army" was posted. The senior military official was involved in an exchange of fire" (attached), in which without the consent of Mr. Andrei Stesev, the commander of the military unit of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, his name, first name, patronymic, photo, activity data were published professional and the copy of the officer's identity document. At the same time, the publication of personal data of Russian military personnel in the current situation means a direct threat against the physical security of their family members and those close to them. A convincing proof of this is the terrorist acts, organized by the Security Service of Ukraine on the territory of Russia, which led to the death of journalists Daria Dughina, Vladlen Tatarski, serious injury of the writer Zakhar Prilepi...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/dan-andronic-1024x573.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Yesterday I made public the address received from a state institution in the Russian Federation dealing with censorship. We were asked, in firm terms, to modify an article that contained the details of a colonel in the Russian army. Killed in the invasion of Ukraine.

We would like to thank our colleagues from Adevărul, Romania TV, Antena 3, B1TV, Știri pe surse, Capital, Infoactual, to all those who took the message published yesterday or sent us messages, for their support. After the discussions I had with people familiar with the Russians' methods, I substantiated my first impression: it is an attempt at intimidation and a warning. Addressed not only to Evenimentul Zilei. Anyone who writes against the invasion of Ukraine is targeted. We were just an example. Roskomnadzor addressed everyone.

A threat does not have to be explicit, to answer some who pretend not to understand. If there are some who find reading a book complicated, I recommend the article published today about how Stalin eliminated his opponents. So as not to confuse them with the assassinations ordered by Vladimir Putin. Who has an arrest warrant for war crimes.

Invoking the legislation of the Russian Federation in an official address sent to a newspaper in Romania or elsewhere is not a mistake, but a signal. And the phrase: "The Russian Federation places special emphasis on human and civil rights and liberties with regard to the processing of personal data, including the protection of the right to private and family life", coming from a Russian censorship institution, is a sinister joke .

It is not the first media lynching of the Event of the Day. You've seen several lately, seemingly unrelated, but time will tell who's behind them.

We have all read how Ukrainians are forced to take Russian citizenship. How tens of thousands of Ukrainian children were deported to Russia, where they were given to Russian families for re-education. The massacres in Ukraine, the terrorizing of the civilian population with drones, the destruction of the Danube ports with the aim of causing a food crisis, are added to the list of atrocities. These are not war operations, but violations of international conventions, which also regulate human and civil rights and freedoms, which Roskomnadzor makes so much of. Or Vladimir Putin.

Regarding the article, we decided not to change anything! It is as if Adolf Hitler's personal data were suppressed from all history books to respect his right to privacy.

Here you can find yesterday's article: Russian Federation warns Evenimentul Zilei!

P.S. I'm just reiterating the comment of a human rights specialist, Renate Weber: I mean, Evz, a newspaper from Romania that published something in Romania, is asked to respect Russian legislation? 🤦‍♀️ Who would have notified that Surveillance Service? That's what they say, that they received a request for assistance. But what if they're going to invoke GDPR?🙈Or do you think they've already ticked off that they've sent the threat message (we're watching you)?]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/dan-andronic-1024x573.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Russians are famous for their arrogance and callousness. An attitude with historical valences. Especially when it comes to peoples or nations that they consider to be in their sphere of influence, like at the time of the Warsaw Pact. And the Russian Federation considers itself the heir of the USSR, so it has no emotion to send harsh warnings to Bucharest.

We received an official address from Roskomnadzor, the agency of the Russian Federation that deals with press censorship in the Russian Federation, established by Vladimir Putin in 2007. It suddenly shows interest in the protection of the personal data of the invaders, coming with the request to delete the data personal data of a Russian army colonel killed in a firefight during the invasion of Ukraine. Invoking Russian legislation!
The Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media,[a] abbreviated Roskomnadzor (RKN) (Russian: Roskomnadzor [RKN]), is the Russian federal executive agency responsible for monitoring, controlling and censoring the Russian media. Its areas of responsibility include electronic media, mass communications, information technology and telecommunications, the supervision of compliance with the law, the protection of the confidentiality of personal data being processed and the organization of the work of the radio frequency service. Source: wikipedia
Initially, I did not pay attention to this email address, I was amused by its obvious absurdity, then seeing that we had no reaction, they also sent it to us by mail, with confirmation of receipt. We read it more carefully and decided to make it public. Because I find it primarily a threat. Then a display of hypocrisy worthy of the annals of history. Invading a country and being disturbed that the personal data, photo and military record of a Russian army colonel killed in action appear is an example of a parallel universe in which Russians live under the Kremlin Tsar. Especially since they are very little bothered by the civilian victims of the savage bombings they subject Ukraine to.

And everything is done in the name of respecting "human and civil rights and liberties with regard to the processing of personal data, including the protection of the right to private and family life". That's what it says in the address, that's how we read it! Although it is incredible.

How a representative of the Moscow administration can put such a lie on paper is no longer surprising me. But the arrogance of sending such a warning to a newspaper, directly to the director general, to the entire newsroom, represents a signal that we must understand at its true value: Moscow's long hand will reach Bucharest!

The Russian Federation places particular emphasis on human and civil rights and freedoms with regard to the processing of personal data, including the protection of the right to private and family life. On July 27, 2006, Federal Law no. 152-FZ "On Personal Data" was adopted in the Russian Federation (hereinafter - the Federal Law "On Personal Data").

The purpose of the Federal Law "On Personal Data" is to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data, including the protection of the right to private and family life.

According to Russian legislation, the Federal Supervisory Service in the Sphere of Telecommunications, Information Technologies and Mass Communications is authorized to protect the rights of persons subject to personal data (hereinafter - authorized body, Roskomnadzor).

According to Article 17 of the Federal Law "On Personal Data", if a subject of personal information believes that an operator is processing his personal data in violation of the requirements of the Federal Law "On Personal Data personal" or otherwise violate them. rights and freedoms, the subject of personal data has the right to challenge the acts or omissions of the operator to the authorized body regarding the protection of the rights of data subjects.

Realizing this right, Roskomnadzor received a letter of assistance in deleting personal data posted on the Internet page (https://evz.ro/rebelii-l-au-lichidat-pe-un-important-colonel -of-the-Russian-army-high-ranking-military-official-was-implicit-in-an-exchange-of-fires.html) without the appropriate consent.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mircea Geoană is the Romanian who has the highest position in world diplomacy. Deputy Secretary General of NATO, in a period marked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Mircea Geoană is seen as a possible candidate for Romania's presidency in 2024. What stirs spirits in politics, but not only...

I couldn't help noticing the investigative, desperate editorial of a journalist, name Dan Tăpălagă, dedicated to a possible candidacy of Mircea Geoană, his frequent visits to Romania. It caught my eye when pointed out by some friends, but mainly because it was signed by a journalist known to the readers of EVZ from the revelations related to his involvement in rummaging through the SIPA archive, together with Monica Macovei. Or for the fact that she is part of the last press "military units" (G4Media), the spokeswoman through which Binomul Coldea-Kovesi still sends coded messages to the "sleepers" in civil society.

I was amused by the proletarian way in which Dan Tăpălagă accounted for Mircea Geoană's appearances in Romania, the speeches he gave in Cluj, Sibiu, or the press interviews, all under the big question: Does NATO know what Geoană is doing? Or as Tăpalaga's ancient predecessors said, sighing in front of a cup of black tea: Does Moscow know? Then the Light came from the East...

Can I spot the double standard? A strange attitude for a journalist who was not at all interested in seeing on whose money Laura Codruța Kovesi comes to Romania. If the purely formal meetings it has at the ministries and courts are not actually a cover for the settlement of some expenses generated by a pre-election campaign. Punctuated with speeches in Cluj, Sibiu and walks through Bucharest, surrounded by protection and security agents, paid for by the European taxpayer.

But let's start from the idea that Dan Tăpălagă is a declared fan of the Coldea-Kovesi Binomi, so he could not question the honesty of the European General Prosecutor's approach. He didn't during the Stalinist-style terror of 2015-2019, there was no way he was going to start now. That saying: Once you're an prosecutor fan, you're an prosecutor fan for life!

The G4 Media attack on Mircea Geoană is, however, a sign that the Deputy Secretary General of NATO is doing something right, something that annoys, more or less USR supporters of Laura Codruța Kovesi's candidacy. Looking at a statistic from the last 2 months, I saw that Mircea Geoană generated over 1200 news items in the Romanian mass media. Almost unanimously positive, it being about NATO's position regarding the security of the eastern flank, speeches that talk about Romania's need for reform, interviews, or comments on what he said. Including the speculations regarding a possible candidacy for the presidency of Romania.

This is where the explanation of the desperate attack on Mircea Geoană must be sought. It comes from a deep understanding of the reality that the war in Ukraine will not end soon, but will eventually escalate in a direction not desired by the Romanians, and NATO will be the main roadblock. Mircea Geoană's association with NATO gives him a competitive advantage over Laura Codruța Kovesi, which will remain associated with arrests, destroyed destinies, rattled by handcuffs. Perhaps in a period of calm, the balance of forces would have been the other way around, but unfortunately for the Coldea-Kovesi Binomi and the political reflection called USR, things are the other way around. The agenda of the population will have the word Safety in the first place, and here Mircea Geoană is much better than many politicians.

Whether Mircea Geoană will run or not is too early to say. The presidential election will be in December 2024, and a lot can happen until then. But certainly, today the Light that comes from the West outlines the profile of Mircea Geoană better than that of Koveși. But I am convinced that we will have the opportunity to discuss this topic again...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/geoana-1024x682.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[People in some member states of EU are siding with Moscow over Ukraine, warned Vera Jourova, Vice-President of the EU Commission and Commissioner for Values and Transparency. She said EU member states should spend more money on "strategic communications" because "Russian propaganda" is affecting people, a senior official from the bloc said. It's a situation we see developing in Romania.

"In many countries, the narrative that Russia is not the aggressor but the victim is growing," Vera Jourova told German media. "In Slovakia, more than 50% of the population believes in conspiracy theories, including those about Russia's war of aggression. To this day, we underestimate the influence of Russian propaganda."

The problem with EU citizens who agree with Russia's position is that Moscow "invests billions in its propaganda and we do nothing to counter it," Vera Jourova argued. She urged member states to invest more in "strategic communications and the fight against disinformation".

According to Brussels sources, at the initiative of the EU vice-president, work is under way to introduce a law in the EU to identify and isolate "foreign agents".
What does "foreign agents" mean?
They are not the classic spies, as one might think at first glance. According to the US definition, an "agent of a foreign government" is any person acting as an agent, representative, employee, or acting at the direction, request or under the direction or control of a "principal foreign agent" and doing any of these actions:


 	Engages within the U.S. in political activities, such as intending to influence any U.S. government official or the American public with respect to U.S. domestic or foreign policy or the political or public interests of a foreign government or foreign political party.
 	Acting in the United States as a public relations advisor, publicist, public information employee, or political consultant.
 	Solicits, collects, pays, or disburses contributions, loans, money, or other things of value in the United States.
 	Represents the interests of a foreign envoy in the United States before U.S. government officials or agencies.


Replace US with European Union, then EU with Romania and ask yourself who falls into the category of foreign agent. Let's not imagine that Romania can stay out of the propaganda game and agents exploited openly or blindly, because the KGB/GRU/FSB have always had an active presence in Bucharest. They were building, cultivating, laying the foundations of what we see today.
Those who may fall into the category of foreign agents
Some of our compatriots claim to be supporters of Alexandr Dughin's ideology, others have passed through Kremlin offices as agents of influence, others justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine by the so-called Nazi statements of Kiev officials, many nod their heads.

There are those who seek nuance in a conflict in which 500-1000 people die daily on both sides. Although it is the kind of dramatic event where nuances do not exist, where white is only white and black is only black. Russia is a criminal state, an aggressor, and Ukraine is defending its country, what more can be said?

Read the EvZ editorials by Mirel Curea, SRI Colonel (r) Tudor Păcurariu, General (r) Alexandru Grumaz, Colonel (r) Ion Petrescu, to name just a few examples of people who represent our media institution and who represent Romania's interests. They have no nuances. Does this bother some people? I don't think so if we are talking about normal people with their right mind, but others, not so many, but active, would prefer the editorials of Diana Iovanovici Șoșoacă & Co.

In Romania the situation is becoming much more complex, because we are entering a pre-election campaign phase and the temptation is twofold. Just like in the Republic of Moldova, only there much tougher measures have been taken. Maybe it's the right time to find out how things are in our country. But this must be done by state institutions, based on evidence.

P.S. A "principal foreign agent" can be a foreign government, a foreign political party, any person outside the United States (except U.S. citizens domiciled in the United States), and any entity organized under the laws of a foreign country or having its principal place of business in a foreign country.]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Dan-Andronic3_RzV-1024x683.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[A study, entitled "The International Compass of Systems Change - Global Implications of Achieving the European Green Deal", is due to be published on 13 May 2022.

This landmark study, endorsed by EC Vice-President Frans Timmermans, who leads the European Commission's Green Deal, is the first to outline the actions needed by the European Union to help achieve sustainable economic systems and a just transition on a global scale. Written by OSEPI, the Club of Rome and SYSTEMIQ, the report demonstrates that the successful implementation of the European Green Deal depends on preventing the re-emergence of colonial "extractivism".

The International Compass of Systems Change provides a guide on how the EU could reduce its resource dependency and thus global tensions of scarcity. It recognises that some of the EU bloc's current policies prevent a just transition in the economies of its trading partners. Recommendations include:

Strengthening and rebuilding trust and cooperation between Europe and lower-income regions by keeping the EU's promises on climate finance, the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and its commitment to open the G20 to African members.

Creating and contributing to an "international just transition fund" to support lower income exporting countries in their transition to economic activities that generate value in a sustainable way.
Introducing mandatory modelling of long-term impacts on regional and global resource use in EU policy decisions.
Working with international partners to apply a maximum per capita consumption footprint to stimulate consumption and demand reduction.
Agreeing international risk assessment standards based on scientific criteria. This should include standards on nature value and transparency of supply chains.]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/uniunea.europeana-2-1024x579-1-1024x579.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Reconstruction of Ukraine, an opportunity to transform Romania into a regional hub, provider of security and development in the vicinity of the Black Sea.

Marcel Ciolacu, PSD president: We live in a time when Europe, as a whole, is experiencing the economic and social effects of the bloody war in Ukraine. We are seeing unprecedented high prices in all European countries - for energy, gas and electricity, as well as rising food prices - which are fuelling inflation. We witness massive disruptions in regional and international supply chains affecting key industries. World trade in cereals is seriously unbalanced, prompting UN experts to warn of global food risks.

One of the priorities of the Government is to protect the population and the economy using all available budgetary resources, and, next week, we will release a solid package of economic and social measures, amounting about 17.5 billion Lei, designed to support both Romanians and local companies to overcome this difficult period.
These are steps that the Romanian state must take firmly
An equally important national objective is for Romania to limit the risks posed by the current situation and to identify solutions to turn these challenges into long-term opportunities, in the benefit of our citizens. These are steps that the Romanian state must take firmly and, equally, wisely and strategically. Romania has already demonstrated that it can play significant role at regional level, by operationalizing the humanitarian support hub for Ukraine in Suceava County, with European support, where aid arrives from all over the world. This is a concrete action, which offers us the horizon of a new phase for Romania's role at regional level.

Our country has proven both politically and through the solidarity reaction of society and the emotional mobilization of Romanians in support of Ukrainian refugees, that it is qualified to become one of the main actors to coordinate the reconstruction of Ukraine using European resources and all the other major projects to be funded by US strategic partners. We can contribute both with the Port of Constanta (already used for grain exports to the neighboring countries, as the Kyiv government cannot use its ports on the Black Sea), whose importance is now becoming strategic for Europe, as well with our road and railway infrastructure, which must benefit massively from European investments for modernization.
Romania plays a vital strategic role in Eastern Europe and in the Black Sea region
It is widely acknowledged that Romania plays a vital strategic role in Eastern Europe and in the Black Sea region. Therefore, we must further strengthen our geostrategic role. Our vision for a new country project must rely on our country transformation into a regional hub that provides security and development, along with Ukraine's reconstruction. These must be the first major steps we ought to be present and involved in as a frontline state.

We have all listened to President Zelensky, addressing the reunited chambers of the Parliament in Bucharest, expressing his confidence that Romania and Romanian companies will contribute to programs to rebuild Ukraine after the war. It is both a genuine duty of a good neighbor state, and a considerable economic opportunity. Therefore, Romania must advocate with determination that the Fund for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, which in all likelihood, will consist of voluntary contributions, mostly on the EU-US axis, to be coordinated with the consistent contribution of the states in the region.

We are practically talking about the equivalent of a new Marshall Plan for the restoration of Ukraine's infrastructure and economy, amounting hundreds of billions of Euros! Beyond the financial volume, it’s important that this reconstruction to be performed in connection with our country. Romania, through our state-owned and private companies, can and must participate in major projects for the reconstruction of Ukrainian cities, ports or factories. We have the necessary expertise, qualified human resources and we have the best political and geo-strategic position to be a key player in this regard.
We propound the establishment of a Permanent Economic Mission of Romania in Ukraine
We have already discussed these issues with several colleagues from the Social Democratic Party and we will propose concrete solutions to the Government so that Romania can play its chances as efficiently as possible. We propound the establishment of a Permanent Economic Mission of Romania in Ukraine, with representative offices in each relevant region, to initiate and develop dialogue with the national and local authorities of the neighboring state about the country's reconstruction priorities. Furthermore, we can involve in these efforts the International Development Cooperation Agency within the MFA, which will be funded to complete the accreditation at European level and coordinate the humanitarian and development coope...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/marcel-ciolacu-1-1024x681.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[A brand-new year. About puppets and puppeteers. I'm not going to start a new „We're the State” series. It's just going to keep doing my job as a journalist. Saying things the way they are.

It's very hard to write from the position of a man who considers himself innocent. You struggle with prejudice and carelessness. You think you're better off than others, but you don't even know what right or wrong is anymore.

You see every day how things that once seemed important to you, today are no longer worth commenting on. Or, conversely, how small life events take on huge size. It is true that the shock of injustice has not been yet fully absorbed.
But I didn't let it bring me down.
However, I can't get out of my head certain things that I've avoided making public. To write about things related to the bowels of the System, about how a monstrous machine was built, how we each put a cog on this complicated mechanism of leveling destinies.

A System that some people have gradually seized since 2005, bringing it to its peak in 2015, after which they suffered some minor defeats. A denounced Secret Protocol, an accepted resignation, a  discharge, several hundred press articles, TV shows, three parliamentary committees of inquiry, people who speak bravely, but also a lot of cowardice. That they knew how to take advantage of.
Is there a Parallel System?
Is there a Parallel System? Yes, and I am one of those who saw it in action, receiving tangible evidence of his power. I also told you how the „initiates” knew about the „Baneasa Farm File” - what judges would get our case and what punishments they would give.

They were demonstrating that the wires that bind the puppets to the puppeteers are still in place. Straight to my face, as in one of the meetings in 2009-2014 with General (r) SRI Florian Coldea told me what punishment journalist Sorin Rosca Stănescu will receive (also acquitted at first instance), but especially how many years Dan Voiculescu will be sentenced.

With precision of the Swiss watch, long before these convictions were handed down by the court. Did it feel normal? No, I got the creeps on my spine, but I preferred to think that this wouldn't happen to me. Afterall, it happened to me…
If in 2014 I wouldn’t have defied Florian Coldea...
Could I have avoided that? Perhaps so. If in 2014 I wouldn’t have defied Florian Coldea, if I would have accepted the „deal” proposed on the stairs of K4, but especially if I wouldn’t have made him hate me after the confrontation he had with President Traian Basescu. These are harsh stories, in which I played a supporting role, but which made me his main target. And I gave him further reasons to do it.

Do I think it was a fair decision by the ICCJ? No, but for reasons different from others. Some of them are shown above. Another part is complicated power games that do nothing but accentuate the sense of injustice.

There are many who tell me that Judge Ionut Matei would have wanted to sentence me much more harshly. I believe them, because he too is one of those who believe that I deserve to be punished for showing the hideousness of the System. Besides, in his eyes I was condemned before I was tried.
I had almost the same cruelty when I was a young journalist
That's why I've come within reach of his decision. In a way I understand it, I had almost the same cruelty when I was a young journalist, as in the period mentioned above I still thought the System was right in most cases!

I've changed, I have the courage to admit I was wrong, I'm trying to change something. I heard all the legends related to the career of Judge Ionuț Matei, but the most interesting I found was the account of a meal he took in 2013 at T14 with Florian Coldea and his wife.

One was the first deputy director of the SRI, another was to be appointed Vice-President of the ICCJ. It was a friendly agape. Between two friends or two collaborators.

It doesn't even matter... I am convinced that that moment was one of relaxation for Ionut Matei, not as I saw him, in the 10 to 12 deadlines in the courtroom, for 9 or 11 hours, frowning, screaming, humiliating lawyers who did nothing but draw attention to the fact that it was wrongly recorded!

I'm sure he doesn't regret the outbursts from those moments! All he did was show us that we're suckers who think Justice is done differently than his gavel wants!]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dan-andronic-editorial-2-1024x687.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Dr. Yulia (Iuliia) Savushkina: researcher, scientist and executive in the rail industry. She is a Senior Professor of Innovations and Technologies, Artificial Intelligence and Global Economy at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.

At present, when transport market is becoming increasingly competitive, and the customers demand rail transportation of higher quality and lower transport costs, systematic improvement of rail transport efficiency, reliability and safety can be achieved solely on breakthrough science-based solutions.
International scientific cooperation in rail transport sector is currently aimed primarily at creating innovative systems of infrastructure monitoring and data processing. Railway companies are testing “smart” sensors to check the equipment condition and are using Big Data technology to collect data. International Union of Railways is an example of such cooperation. The union annually calls for proposals from member organizations and afterwards determines priority projects. Any organization, that was granted the right to elaborate its scientific idea, develops practical recommendations for other members of the Union. Russian scientific developments are presented in UIC by the leading scientific organizations: Railway Research Institute (JSC VNIIZhT) and Research and Design Institute for Information Technology, Signalling and Telecommunications in Railway Transportation (JSC NIIAS). Key activities of the institutions include their participation in UIC Asia-Pacific Regional Assembly (APRA). VNIIZhT researchers are working on the integration of regional ticket reservation systems and are developing modern techniques of track maintenance. VNIIZhT submitted a research proposal to study the ways of passenger service improvement in 2019. NIIAS researchers have been focused on developing recommendations to ensure the cybersecurity of rail transport and they are currently considering the possibility of developing UIC standard based on their research results. NIIA also submitted research proposal on using  drones to monitor infrastructure. This advanced technology can be applied to monitor track superstructure integrity and engineering structures condition, to create 3D models of engineering structures, to register deviations from design parameters and to gather information on the incident in case of emergency.

JSC VNIIZhT is also а member of the International Heavy Haul Association (IHHA). The latter includes railway organizations from China, India, Australia, Europe, Canada and the USA. The IHHA is currently shaping the strategic vision of heavy haul rail industry development up to 2030. The IHHA members give the utmost priority to the increase and optimization of freight trains tonnage, automatic train running control, sensor-based monitoring of engineering structures and rolling stock. The latter can lead to the improvement of maintenance technique.

JSC VNIIZhT is focused on developing rational use of energy sources techniques. At present the IHHA basic activities include collecting data and sharing their expertise in the application of innovative technologies in rail transport sector.

The resolution which the members of the association are planning to present in June 2019 will not include any particular technical solutions, but, nevertheless, will provide guidance for scientific projects in the key areas.

The European Union Agency for Railways (ERA), in its turn, regularly publishes reports on the state of the rail system in the EU countries. According to the information provided, one of the major issues is railway safety. Although the number of rail accidents has been steadily decreasing, they still have an adverse impact on the efficiency of the rail sector. For that reason, in 2018 the ERA members adopted The European Railway Safety Culture Declaration, which presents the rail sector development strategy. High priority is given to the standardization of the Train Control System to ensure a higher level of railway safety. Another major focus of the ERA efforts is to develop breakthrough solutions to enhance the performance of the EU rail sector. Shift2Rail initiative is an important tool that will help to achieve these objectives. The initiative is а part of the EU Research and Innovation program Horizon 2020, approved by the European Commission for 2014-2020. Representatives of the European Commission and international corporations, among them Siemens, Thales and Alstom, supervise the implementation of Shift2Rail research projects on an ongoing basis. Shift2Rail aims to double the capacity of the European rail system and to increase its reliability and service quality by 50 % while halving the life-cycle costs. Shift2Rail research projects include intelligent innovative smart maintenance of assets, real time information applications for rail freight, observation and monitoring of train traffic and railway infrastructure.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[He likes to think that he is a journalist that fights corruption, that’s what he says on TV. Now he has another battle, with journalists from other newspapers, especially with those from Evenimentul Zilei and only he knows why. But we are not frightened, so we will answer in the same manner.

Despite our friendly approach towards him until now, he seems to struggle a type of hypocrisy rarely encountered by a journalist. His bizzare behaviour has started years ago, but I have never attacked him, beacause I don&rsquo;t like to be at war with fellow collegues, unless they fiercely and unjustly attack. At this point, Sabin Orcan just did this.

He has started to badmouth and to exaggerate regarding Evenimentul Zilei. And because I run this newspaper and I strongly appreciate my collegues who are working hard to release news on paper, in a digital era.

I have decided to answer back to all his verbal and written attacks. He has started attacking Ion Cristoiu and then Dan Andronic, maybe because he is not capable to run properly a magazine. Newsweek is hardly a success.

He implies Evenimentul Zilei is a satellite of Sputnik and he accuses us of being manipulative. The truth is we have nothing in common and the readers can tell it is a huge difference in quality between us. Sabin Orcan is beating around the bush having no clue of what he is saying.

I am so sick and tired to accept rude attacks and lies, to see how the newspaper we work so hard for is so unjustly attacked.

Sabin, you should be ashamed of yourself!

Răzvan Corneţeanu, the former manager of the Adevărul Holding

was among the people who first warned about Sabin Orcan&rsquo;s duplicity and his awkard relationship with his employer at Romania Libera, Alexandru Adamescu.

Corneteanu reacted last year, after Orcan fired some journalists from the Adamescu family newspaper, claiming &quot;that he was not satisfied with them&rdquo; because it would have been too hard to admit that he was told to do so, because he had received orders from the Adamescu.

He told the journalists the opposite, that the owner forced him to do it, Răzvan Corneţeanu wrote about this at that moment.

When he ran Romania Libera, Sabin Orcan asked Dan Andronic to help him, he wanted to prove that Dan and Alexandru Adamescu were DNA&rsquo;s victims.

He was so sleek, trying to be someone he was not. &nbsp;He said he had positioned himself on Kovesi&#039;s side and anti-corruption, that he has Mălin Bot, Mircea Marian, Ondine Gherguţ and Silviu Sergiu and can not publish DNA-abuse investigations to defend his patrons. Dan understood, he knew Dan Adamescu for many years, and knew the dramatic situation in which he was. He promised Sabin Orcan that he would help him by publishing reports of lawyers or the son of billionaire Alexandru Adamescu (who was in London), and if there is evidence of the investigators&#039; abuses, Evenimentul Zilei will inform him. To be clear! At that time, Sabin Orcan was the head of Romania Libera and the Adamescu family employee. Transparently, Dan Andronic discussed these things with me and with Mirel Curea, when Sabin Orcan announced that a press conference in London would be held in which DNA abuses would be unmasked.

He asked him to be there, along with others journalists. It was in the summer of 2016, and Orcan, the fighter against corruption, was backing a criminal in a disclosure campaign. A strange combination, is not it? We told Dan Andronic that it was not good and that we did not agree to support Orcan in his efforts, especially because

former employees of &quot;Evenimentul zilei&quot; attacked us in Romania Libera and now I know he was instigating them.

Dan Andronic understood our point of view and with the first occasion, he published on his Facebook page the emails between him and Orcan, dated 16 December 2016.

Earlier in August, when Sabin Orcan was preparing with the lawyers in London a campaign of the way Alexandru Adamescu was arrested, he asked Cristoiu to meet him for a coffee. He obviously knew that he criticized DNA abuses in his editorials and asked him to help him save his employer and, by default, &quot;Rom&acirc;nia liberă&quot; newspaper. He knew it was a sensitive thing for the Master and yes, at that time, he called Cristoiu this way.

Ion Cristoiu told me: &quot;Orcan wants me to go with him to London, to plead in front of the court on how DNA acted in the case of Adamescu. To present my ideas that I had already written in my colums on how DNA was doing a political interference. At first, I had accepted, highlighting the fact that I wanted to pay for the trip, because I didn&rsquo;t want to be misunderstood. Then I had changed my mind, because I realised that it was a great waste of time. Then he asked me to write a text about Adamescu&#039;s situation and to read it in front of a camera. One day, the lawyers sent me a text indicating what I had to say. At that time I had realised the utt...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/sabin-orcan-the-so-called-anti-corruption-warrior.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sanjeev Gupta, who wants to become the owner of SIDEX, is running a cosmetic image campaign to win the goodwill of the trade unions, Romanian authorities and politicians.

To prevent what happened at the steelworks in Ostrava, where his promises triggered a major collision with the trade unions and politicians in the Czech Republic. The Steelworkers&#039; Unions in Ostrava, which also represents 6,000 employees, same as unions in Galaţi, are worried that the takeover will &quot;permanently and irreversibly destroy the plant&quot; and therefore asked for a &quot;detailed plan and firm commitment to invest in the factory&quot; according to the Sunday Times, an important UK newspaper, the Indian&rsquo;s adoption country. Today, we present what other important publications have written about the Gupta family business. One can find out about unpaid debt to suppliers, bankrupt hedge funds, insurers suspending policies, and many other things we all need to know before losing such factory and, together with it, the heart of a city.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

As if erupting from the optimism of the Romanian Centenary celebrations, we have witnessed the past few days a laudatio given by a central television to Sanjeev Gupta, who is in the race to take over SIDEX Galati.

The interview with Sanjeev Gupta, which seems to be the type of masked advertising, reiterates and launches new promises with a maddening enthusiasm. We hear (again) about the over 300 million euros that will be invested for the 50% increase in the production capacity of SIDEX Galati and, in order not to be abandoned in everyday banality before the holidays, the businessman is raising with the promise to engage in the construction of a motorway in a public-private partnership.

Practically, Gupta has not put his foot well in Galati, has not proven yet he can maintain and develop the factory, but is already thinking about the next promise: infrastructure.

Our duty is to remind him that even by today his companies did not answer the question about the investment promised to Oltenita: 200 million euros announced for the construction of &quot;the most modern steelwork in Europe&quot; melted as discreetly as they never existed before.

In an attempt to establish the exact facts, we have documented what remains of the promises: a lavender and goji plantation. Is this the fate of Galati? Why should we all believe that a highly controversial businessman in the international financial press will be performing in Galaţi, a much more complicated business than Oltenita. Or, in other words, if a lavender rose in Oltenita instead of a steel plantation, what should we expect in Galati? A bamboo plantation?

These are questions that should be asked by all those involved at the government level, perhaps at the CSAT level, where the final approval for this transaction will be given.

In his speech, Sanjeev Gupta fails to bring arguments to clear all the question marks but, moreover, surrounds us in the spell of promises that sound good for Romanians: highways, the national obsession of the last 30 years. We have to admit, infrastructure is a sensible side for the Romanians, and anyone who promises this has every chance of being believed, rather from the desire to be lying nicely rather than credibility.

Promises, a marketing strategy

The habit of jumping from one promise to another is characteristic of this group of businessmen, as we will show you, those who want to buy SIDEX Galati have great problems in supporting their investments so far, let alone take another responsibility.

Unfortunately for the people of good faith who are still working in Galati, we hope that it will not be too late when they understand that neither the highway will come to the gate of the factory nor will their workplace exist, because Sanjeev Gupta does not say all the truth.

Such as the fact that he is already posing as owner of SIDEX Galaţi, although the European Commission is currently conducting an analysis process for the buyer selected by ArcelorMittal, and no decision has been taken to validate his ownership of SIDEX.

As part of this, the European Commission wants to ensure that the future buyer fulfils a number of predefined criteria designed to ensure that he has the right incentives to continue the operation of the plant. The buyer will have to demonstrate to the Commission that it has the capacity and incentives to exploit the long-term mix. In other words, selling the plant to a buyer who would consider closing it would not be an acceptable solution, &quot;said European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager.

In other words, the seriousness, financial stability, buyer&#039;s experience in the steel industry, his real intentions and the ability to complete will be investigated.

Sanjeev Gupta tells us only what Forbes magazine has written, who called him the &ldquo;most daring investor in the world last year&rdquo;, but he does not tell us wha...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/the-deep-sleep-of-unions-and-politicians-hands-sidex-on-a-silver.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Nothing is clear about the Gupta family's past business with various authorities and private firms in Romania. The Indians, who are now on the brink of taking over Sidex Galaţi, a city-like plant, have managed to "hypnotize" everyone, but now, Sanjeev, the head of the family, worries even the great international analysts who ask themselves if the "steel man" does have “clay legs” in reality.

Over 15,000 Romanians are caught in the middle in a combination with which they should have no connection with. They and their families, perhaps more than 50,000 people, are part of a business imposed by Brussels bureaucracy and initiated in the misty financial world of London and Mumbai, India.

The Sidex plant in Galati, the farthest steel mill on NATO Eastern border, with more than 15,000 employees, has to be sold because its owner, Arcelor Mittal, has become too big for the taste of European bureaucrats. Mittal, one of the richest people in India, has to sell Galaţi because he wants to buy a plant in Italy, and European authorities say that if he keeps them both would become too big enough to threaten the fair competition on the market. And he found a buyer.

Another big family in India, the Gupta family. Merchants of anything, they have stand out in recent years, through spectacular metallurgical plants acquisitions, funded with huge loans, some of which have already been questioned. Capital and Evenimentul Zilei have already begun a series of investigations into the Gupta family business, which has been &quot;sniffing&quot; Romania for nearly 20 years, without leaving anything remarkable behind, except for promises as large as Sanjeev Gupta&#039;s reputation, the main man of Liberty House, the contender for Galaţi plant.

We have shown how they created big issues to a Swiss investment fund, whose money they invested in these bold businesses. We have shown how they lost credibility, including in India, their home country, and most importantly, we have shown how they promised 200 million euros in steel and ship investments in Oltenita and ended up managing 28 hectares of land bought not clearly how, a silo and two plantations of lavender and goji.

Now is the time to present the authorities&#039; replies to Gupta&#039;s family history and intentions, as well as a new episode of what has already become a trend in the international financial press: telenovela &quot;the Gupta road to nowhere&quot;. The European Commission is getting involved, but it does not get involved As we said at the beginning of the material, the source of the transaction between the Mittal family (Arcelor Mittal) and the Gupta family (Liberty House) for the Galati plant is the Brussels bureaucracy.

More specifically, the European Commission and its competition authority, which has decided that Arcelor Mittal can not buy the Italian Ilva (which Mittal hardly wants it) without divesting part of its other assets in Europe. This situation exists as the European Commission considers Arcelor Mittal would become to big to ensure a fair competition game in the European steel industry. And Mittal, present in several countries in the Union, chose to give up Sidex Galaţi, amongst aother plants.

This is what the representatives of the European Commission told us in a short answer to a few long questions that I have sent. &quot;The decision to renounce the Galati steel works belonged exclusively to Arcelor Mittal. This measure is part of the commitments that the company has taken to ensure the legality of Ilva&#039;s acquisition.

It is also the exclusive attribute of Arcelor Mittal, the choice of the buyer for the Galati steel mill, &quot;the representatives of the European Commission have told us. However, even if, as is normal, the current owner of Sidex is free to decide who he sells to, the same European rules say it is not necessary to find a questionable buyer, whose ability to keep promises are raising questions.

And the European Commission promises to watch over this. &quot;Our role, to date, is to analyze how fit is the buyer chosen by Arcelor Mittal. The analysis procedure is undergoing and that is why it is too early to comment on the possible conclusions the Commission will draw&rdquo;, the European Commission said. Very important, until the Commission takes a decision, everything that happens in Galaţi is the exclusive responsibility of Mittal as if the Commission were to reject the sale to the Gupta family.

These are the only responses handed over by the European Commission to Capital and Evenimentul Zilei, although our questions covered a much wider area.

Here they are: - How can the European Commission ensure that the promises in Galaţi are real this time?

- Can European authorities force the buyer to corporate transparency, given the strategic importance of this acquisition?

- How can the European Commission safeguard the soundness of the investment, bearing in mind that the Gupta Group has a high degree o...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/15-000-employees-of-sidex-galati-thrown-into-unknown-evz-capital.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[In Oltenita a lavender plantation emerged instead of the promised metallurgical plant. What surprises did the Gupta family prepare for Galati?

Olteniţa. Here, before 1989, over 7000 people worked on the two major industrial platforms of the city: the Turol Cast Iron Foundry and the Shipyard. Galati. Until the Revolution, approximately 31,000 people were working in Sidex, being the largest siderugic plant in Central and Eastern Europe. The three industrial platforms have crossed the transition somewhat similarly: a constant downturn. In the middle of 2000, both cities were targeted by two Indian investors, Lakshmi Nivas Mittal and the Gupta family, both of whom declared ambitious metallurgic investments. The Sidex has become Arcellor Mittal and still works with 6,500 employees, but what happens in Oltenita is a comedy of absurd.

We return in 2005. Then came for the first time in Oltenita the representatives of the Gupta family to claim that they want to invest in a metallurgical plant that will create 500 jobs. The amount they promised has left their local authorities with their mouths open. &quot;They said they wanted to invest 150 million euros in that factory. You realize that we were immediately attracted to that, being a city where almost nothing is happening, &quot;recalls Florian Cercel, former vice mayor of the city. At first the Indians seemed determined. In 2007 they bought the CTZ Olteniţa, the former thermal power station in the area, and, from AVAS, the industrial platform TUROL. In 2008 they bought 14 hectares of land from the local town hall, followed in 2011 by another 14 hectares. In 2012, the Gupta family purchased from AVAS also the shipyard in Oltenita, which was no longer operational, through Evergreen. They have thus reached almost 40 hectares of land on the Danube shore with the declared intent of building a metallurgical plant.

Oltenita, nothing to be envied

We are in 2018 and Oltenita at lunchtime seems an aging city. In the center of the city, the retirees sit in groups of 3-4 gossiping and small talking and it seems almost nobody is in a hurry to do something. Statistics show us the impression is correct. &quot;Now there are about 3300 people in the city, most of them in services,&quot; explains Petre Tone, mayor of the city. We learn that out of the city&#039;s employees nearly 1,000 work at state institutions. Oltenita has a population of almost 24,000 people. What happens to the rest of the people? &quot;Bucharest is just 50 kilometers away and people are commuting there&quot;, explains the city&#039;s chief. Soon we are touching Transdanube issue, the company under which the Gupta family has promised to build a metallurgical platform. What&#039;s going on with the project? &quot;We still hope. They seemed serious and have started working on those lands&quot;, the mayor says optimisticly. We are surprised. We would find out if the construction of the plant started. Logically, the question arises: what investments have they made? &quot;For two

&nbsp;

years they have planted lavender and goji. They started to build a small factory of lavender oil, too. In the port they also built a grain platform. They have built some very beautiful offices in the port&quot;, explains the mayor. We do not know if he&#039;s serious or not, so we go to the Oltenita port area. The discrepancy between a metallurgical fabric and a lavender plantation seems very great to us.

From an investment of 200 million euros to goji and lavender

At the exit from Oltenita to the Danube we find the proof. The Indians unequivocally grow lavender and goji. A few locals are in the field and work. In the background, there are remnants of the former CTZ and the TUROL platform. It is a desolate image, detached from an absurd scenery. On the Danube, we also have proof that we are on the property of the Gupta family. On a barracks, at the entrance to the harbor and in the area of the agri- cultural plantations, it is cheaply written: Transdanube Industries. These are those who in 2005 promised to Olteniţa City Hall an investment of 150 million euros, which in the meantime increased to 200 million. For example, in the document entitled &quot;Development Strategy for Calarasi County for 2014-2020&quot;, Transdanube Industries is ranked with the largest investment in the area. We also reach the famous offices of the Gupta family. No one is on the ground floor of the building. We walk unhurried through the hallway. After about one quarter of an hour there is a woman who asks us what we want. We find out that the employees are in the first floor offices. After a few minutes a young woman appears, she is a horticultural engineer. She tells us that for two years there is a growing organic farming business, but that nowadays they have not sold anything from lavender produced. We are a little puzzled: it was about building a metallurgical factory. &quot;There are metalworkers in the offices here. So I sup...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/the-nightmare-investment-recipe-of-the-future-owner-of-sidex.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Gupta family, who, after obtaining all approvals, may become the future owner of Arcelor Mittal Galaţi, the former Sidex, announced at the end of last week that it will invest more than 300 million euros in the plant on Danube bank. Industrialist Sanjeev Gupta, a native of India, also announced plans to increase production capacity and guarantee job stability. Gupta gave an emotional note to his statements, saying he is "very excited to come back to Romania and have great hopes for the future."

What Gupta failed to tell is that in 2011 he promised 200 million euros to build &quot;the latest generation of Europe&#039;s most advanced metallurgical plant&quot; on the site of the former Turol Oltenita foundry and to create 500 jobs .

History has shown that in the 11 years since the declarations have been made, the money has not appeared, the plant has not been built, jobs have not been created, instead Gupta has acquired a land of over 30 hectares on the Danube, at a price of nothing.

After going through this criminally scented story of the failed investment in Oltenita, the logical question arises if Galati will share the ill fate of the small town in Calarasi.

Last Friday promises flooded Galaţi. At a meeting with the Arcelor Mital unions of Galati plant, Sanjeev Gupta promised investments of more than 300 million euros, increased production capacity by 50 percent and the start of the third furnace. These are just a few of the highly optimistic and spectacular promises of the Indian businessman. But his history shows us that it is very possible for the people of Galati to &ldquo;benefit&rdquo; only from a spectacular collapse of the factory on which a whole city is based.

&nbsp;

An offer not to be refused

&nbsp;

To better understand the risk posed by the new owner of the former Sidex Galati, we have to go back 11 years on the Danube, in the city of Oltenita.

&nbsp;

In September 2007, Transdanube Industries SRL, owned by the Gupta family through the Cypriot offshore Cobrom Investments ltd, buys from the Olteniţa Local Council 14 hectares of land on the Danube, on Portul Street, on the site of the former Turol metallurgical plant. A few years later, the company bought another land, reaching over 30 hectares.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

To justify the low price of the land, the sale and purchase contracts had a suspensive clause, requiring Transdanube to be serious and within five years to make an important investment and put into use a metallurgical plant. Otherwise, they will have to return the land to the city hall which would also retain the money they received up to that time. However, in 2010, the suspension clause is eliminated by the Town Hall Council. Why? Transdanube claimed that it is trying to get a 100 million-euro loan necessary to start the investment, and needs to have a title on the land. The City Hall approves and the suspensive clause disappears, and Transdanube suddenly is in posession of the land without any obligation to make the investment.

No investment money, but they also &quot;pocket&quot; another land

The investor does not get the loan, but he gets a new land. In 2011, the Olteniţa City Hall sells a 14 hectare land, also on the Danube bank, and with the same suspension clause. However, in 2014, the City Council gives up that clause in a totally inexplicable way considering that for seven years Transdanube has done nothing but tear down the old Turol buildings and prepare the land. Even more suspect as Oltenita City Hall Department of Urbanism issued the building permit as early as June 14, 2011 to start the construction of the plant. So in the summer of 2014, Transdanube wakes up to own almost 36 hectares of land on the Danube, without any obligation.

&nbsp;

Here is what article 3.5 of the purchase contract 4489 / 23.09.2011 said, before it was removed: &quot;The buyer enters into the actual possession of the real estate today, the date of authentication of this contract without any other formality, and the ownership of the real estate will be transferred at the date of the realization of the investment, ie on the date of the preliminary acceptance of certain warehouses and industrial constructions according to HCL 49/2011 (hereinafter referred to as &quot;Investment&quot;) and the signing of the preliminary acceptance of investment (...) The term of realization of the investment (as part of a complex investment to be developed by the Purchaser) is 5 years. If, until the date set in the sales contract, the specified investment is not executed, the contract is settled in full, the constructions made until that date being transferred to the private property of the Oltenita municipality, the price paid being retained as well as the value of the land use (according to Annex 3 to the HCL No 48/2010, as amended by Article 3 of HCL / 49/2011) &quot;

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Illegal courier officer Nemeti was part of the "Ghost" Unit, being co-opted in the "Cell" destined to the liquidation of Nicholas Ceausescu's enemies. Officers fully conspired from the Romanian espionage, betrayed, robbed and murdered by the comrades in the Central.

We continue today to present the most important excerpts from the interview given by General Cornel Biris, the former head of the Ghost Unit, for the Periscope Magazine, a publication of the Reserve and Retired Military Cadres Association of the Foreign Intelligence Service. As we have seen in the previous episode, Cornel Biris, the foreign intelligence officer, has been working for more than 30 years in the most secret unit of any espionage service in the world: the one called &quot;The Ghosts&quot;. He has practically gone through all the functions and compartments of this special work, from the execution to the command, and when he was in reserve in 2002, he was the head of this unit.

As the Periscope magazine is mainly aimed at external information work professionals, along with the general&#039;s words, we will try to clarify for our readers the less understood aspects of those outside this line of work. Until now, we have just referred to the definition and presentation of the category of phantom officers and the specifics of espionage work on this field today we are entering an absolutely incendiary subject. One of the questions asked by General Petru Neghiu raised the curtain from a true dark scowl, full of venomous snakes. It referred to the contents of a book published by Cornel Nemeti, former officer within the &quot;Ghost&quot; Unit.

The question asked, by the answers received from General Cornel Biris, turned out to be a key that opened up a real Pandora&#039;s Box, from which a lot of evil spirits emerged. The existence within the Romanian espionage center of Unit 0544 / R, having as the main task the execution of ordered assassinations, data of such criminal missions, including the terrorist bombing of the radio station Free Europe at the beginning of 1981, as well as missions to identify, locate and liquidate some people, made by this unit, are the main subject of this episode.

One of the most important moments in the Periscope Magazine interview was when&nbsp; General Cornel Biris was asked what he thought about the book written by Cornel Nemeti, &quot;The Last Illegal Courier - Memoirs of a Romanian Spy&quot;, in which are made &quot;public not only information, but also documents of high degree of secrecy. &quot;

CIA, Devine&#039;s first reader

The answer given by the General is a particularly trenchant and with a significant amount of novelty information, for the first time: &quot;I read today with great interest a book entitled Good Hunting, the story of a master of American espionage, Jack Devine, former chief of the clandestine operations division in the CIA. At the beginning of this memorialist paper, in a corner of the page, the following statement is made: &quot;All the facts, opinions and analyzes expressed, belong to the author and do not represent the official position or vision of the CIA. This material has been checked by the CIA to prevent the disclosure of secret information.&quot;

And then, if we are striving to build real democracy, with rules and standards to prevent chaos and disorder, why not learn from our main Intelligence partner? Why are we avoiding preventive measures and admitting disclosures that, to a large extent, are damaging to external intelligence activity, especially because they are largely built on hypotheses and rumors? Why do we let the people who have dedicated their lives and activity to the work of information to be thrown into mud for the sake of revenge? Why?

What good is it? Cui prodest (in Latin)?

&quot;As for Nemeti, we can essentially point out several aspects: we can ask why he photocopied and kept documents that appear in his memoirs and that have a&quot; strictly secret &quot;character? Have these documents been used in other situations? If so, when and where and to whom were they given? We cannot answer these questions, as long as there are specialized institutions of law, who have the power to clarify such criminal acts. If we were to initiate such a check, we, the ones who appear in the disclosures of the author of this crime, would have been accused of exonerate ourselves and seeking to cover the deeds committed.

Personally, I received several signals according to which, Mr. Teodor Melescanu, then Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, would have liked to have a discussion with me regarding this work. I&#039;ve been waiting! Nothing! I also waited after receiving other signals according to which the next head of SIE, Mihai Razvan Ungureanu, would have wanted a discussion with me in this regard. Still nothing! Nothing happened.

							<description><![CDATA[]]></description>
							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Very few are the situations in which the revelations assumed by those from the intelligence services to clarify aspects of historical importance.

The reasons are clear, the disclosure is not at all a concern of the officers in these services, on the contrary. Rarely, such a character has made a decisive contribution to placing a totally unknown chapter, but of the utmost importance for the public, in the light. There are, however, rare exceptions. Like the one constituted by the disclosures made in General Cornel Biris&#039; interview given to General Petru Neghiu for the Periscop Magazine, a publication of the Association of Military Cadres in Reserves and Withdrawal from the Foreign Intelligence Service.

To be very clear from the start, for more than 30 years, the foreign intelligence officer Cornel Biriş, has worked in the most secret unit of any espionage service in the world: the one called &quot;The Ghosts&quot;. When he was discharged in 2002, he was the head of this unit.

But not just about the specifics of this activity, working with the &quot;ghosts,&quot; General Cornel Biriş speaks in his interview, but also about other totally unknown issues. Some, tremendously important, such as the&nbsp; betrayal of &quot;ghost&quot; officers by the heads from Central Intelligence, their disclosure to counter-espionage services in the countries in which they acted, the abolition of the &quot;Ghost&quot; Unit by Ioan Talpeş, and about the participation of a Romanian external intelligence officer in assassination missions, will surprise to the fullest.

Just as they surprised me a few years ago, when I found them, while having a coffee, from General Cornel Biris, a character who honors me with his 25-year-old sympathy, since my colleague Dan Andronic introduced us. Over the course of a few episodes, we will enter the themes approached by General Cornel Biriş, signaling the passages taken from the interview published in the Periscop Magazine, but also intervening with explanations to clarify issues, as I said above, unknown to the general public.

From 1971 to 2002, General Cornel Biriş served in the Foreign Intelligence Service, within the most secret department of State Security, the Brigade &quot;U&quot; (&quot;The Ghosts&quot;). Within this &quot;special brigade&quot;, he was involved in the training and direction of fully conspirators officers, the &quot;ghosts,&quot; as well as officers who recruited, trained and kept in touch &quot;ghosts&quot;. But what is that, a ghost officer?

It is the most precious, both literally and figuratively, capital of an external intelligence service. &quot;The fully conspired officer,&quot; or &quot;ghost,&quot; as he is called, is the foreign intelligence officer most often sent under a false identity, obviously, other than his own, in a foreign country, in order to carry out espionage operations in impenetrable environments by classical means.

Firth death, second life

To avoid suspicion from counter-espionage services in the countries where he was placed, the &quot;ghost&quot; officer training process was an extremely laborious one, in which even the slightest mistakes in training were not allowed, because any mistake could be fatal. Practically, the one who started on this road ended his first existence. Hence the name of &quot;ghost&quot; given to this absolutely special professional category.

&quot;Dead&quot; in his first life, the officer was stepping into the second. The Renaissance meant that he had to learn everything he would have known if he really was the citizen who would claim to be. From the language he would master to perfection, like a native, to the knowledge of topographies, laws and habits of the place, from acquiring all knowledge of the country and the people in the midst of which he would live, to memorizing all the information that any native knew about his country and his land, the &quot;ghost&quot; officer had to integrate perfectly into the environment in which he was to be implanted, not to differ from the rest of the citizens there. Any mismatch any stridence, any suspicion, could compromise the mission, and put him in prison for decades.

Long polished diamonds

Even from this brief presentation, it is easy to deduce the thoroughness with which a &quot;ghost&quot; was built, as well as the importance that this category of intelligence officers represents in spying activity.

About these &quot;long polished diamonds&quot;, as were called the ghost officers by a legendary head of an intelligence service, General Cornel Biris also speaks in the interview from which we quote:

&quot;Why&quot; ghosts &quot;or&quot; shadows &quot;? The notion is given by the absolutely necessary fact that the activity of selection, employment, training, assignment and liaison with this kind of officers is carried out under strict conspiracy. Their identity was known by a small number of officers in the Central, namely the &quot;instru...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/the-ghosts-of-romanian-espionage-the-most-valuable-secret-sie-ge.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<description><![CDATA[]]></description>
							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Monday around noon, accessing the main news sites - all TeFeListe - I came across a headline like set as a hat on all the content, the same. Something like Eduard Hellvig responds to Liviu Dragnea.

In his press statement at the end of the CEXN meeting on Friday, June 22, 2018, Liviu Dragnea proclaimed:

&quot;Neither Iohannis, nor Helvig nor Pahonţu, nor K&ouml;vesi, nor Băsescu, nor Ponta, nor Oprea, nor others, scare me. The objectives I have committed to and for which I have assumed the responsibility remain the same and, together with my colleagues, both here and from the country, we will complete them. Thank you, this was my statement!&quot;

I left the type of ending &quot;This was my statement&quot; on purpose, to indicate that the speaker wanted to give through it a character of historical document to the text, the kind of words spoken by Constantine, the Emperor of Byzantium, on the evening of 28 May 1453, before the black Tuesday of the final assault of the Ottomans against Constantinople. Liviu Dragnea, PSD chairman and chairman of the Chamber of Deputies, made a verbal tick to give others signals known only by him and the recipients in matters of maximum public interest.

In this case, the assertion that Iohannis, Kovesi, Pahonţu, Ponta, Basescu do not frighten him passed as normal. These names account for Liviu Dragnea&#039;s public opponents. Strange were the references to two names: Gabriel Oprea and Eduard Hellvig. What threat is to him the general dragged by the DNA in the unique process in the civilized world of being responsible for a deadly road accident, because he was in the car following the police crew?

In Eduard Hellvig&#039;s case, the strangeness is threefold. First, because Eduard Hellvig is the SRI&#039;s Director. How could the director of the SRI scare the party head and chamber of the Parliament? Then, until recently, Eduard Hellvig was bathed by the same Liviu Dragnea in the sweetest spoils about the changes in the well made in the SRI&#039;s work. Last but not least, the oddity comes from the level at which the assertion took place. Liviu Dragnea is the chairman of the ruling party and the third man in the state. At such level, you are not even allowed to give the director of the SRI an allusion to the bodega, let alone in a public intervention broadcasted live by the news television. At such a level, if you already have a clear stance on what you think is the violation by the SRI of the Constitution, by hiring the director in personal wars with a politician, you support a broad press statement in which you make precise, targeted allegations, duplicated by documents and announce the measures taken to end the abuse. You don&#039;t resume to a hint like I&#039;m not scared.

Knowing these things, I flinched at the phrase Eduard Hellvig responded. I knew that the SRI Director had made a living rule not to be trained in polemics, not even cordial, with politicians or journalists who attacked him. Curious to see how this deviation from the norm occurred, I accessed the news with the motif of the titles mentioned above.

Surprise, surprise!

Under the hat of the titles with Eduard Hellvig response, there is information about an uncommon event in the history of the Romanian Secret Service in post Decembrism.

On Monday, June 25, 2018, a Communiqu&eacute; of the Board of the Romanian Intelligence Service was published, containing not decisions on the internal activity of the SRI, usually secret, but public notices regarding the relationship the Service has with the surrounding world:

&quot;Following the latest events and public statements, the Board of Directors of the Romanian Intelligence Service makes the following remarks:

It is regrettable that they are trying to attract the Romanian Intelligence Service into a speculative area through false allegations, unjustified accusations and defamation of the Service staff. SRI firmly condemns these attempts to denigrate the institution and assures its internal and external partners that it will remain anchored in its missions that concern exclusively national security.

The SRI Director, Mr. Eduard Hellvig, assures all Romanian citizens of non-involvement in any kind of power games, keeping the institution out of political debates and determination in the joint effort to preserve national security.&quot;

In order to understand the event on Monday, June 25, 2018, we need to recall the governing structure of the SRI according to the law. From the SRI site, quite well done, if I think about catastrophes from other institutions of the rule of law, we find out that &quot;The deliberative structure of the Romanian Intelligence Service is the Board of Directors, composed of the Director of the Romanian Intelligence Service, the deputy and his deputies, as well as heads of some central and territorial units. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is the Director of the Romanian Intelligence Service&quot;.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[In the fourth part of the interview given in Belgrade by the former parliamentarian Sebastian Ghita are touched the most sensitive points of the Binomial SRI DNA, those related to their involvement in politics. How the leaders of those institutions played in the 2014 presidential elections, how they tried to get involved in the Mayoral elections. Sebastian Ghiță claims that former President Traian Basescu confessed to him that not only he resisted when Laura Codruta Kovesi and Florian Coldea told him what would happen in the case of Dan Voiculescu.

Ion Cristoiu: one of the themes of your records constituted the involvement of the parallel system especially in the liquidation of media. In the second tape (29.12.2016) you make a reference.&nbsp; I quote: &quot;I have heard about the case of Dan Voiculescu from former President Basescu. He clearly told me he that he has records of how it was planned and organized the arrest of Dan Voiculescu&quot;. Are there other records than the famous one? So you confirm with subject and predicate that he has the records? Others than that?

Sebastian Ghiță: Yes. This is what the former President Traian Basescu told me. He told the same to Elena Udrea and Dan Andronic, and said it more than once, in front of everybody, in turn and together. And his explanation is that no matter how hard we fight between us, out of respect for Romania, for the Presidential institution, in relation to the other institutions from Romania, makes him, as former President, to endure the problems with his family, with the arrests, with the one who denounced his daughter&#039;s ex-husband, with all sorts of things in some areas forced, and not to use those records. What could he possibly use them for? Retire Coldea? He is retired. To present Kovesi&#039;s countless visits in his Office? He said it hundreds of times, and we all know that it happened.


	I&#039;m sure that you know some stuff and I want to ask you, do you know? It was an operation ordered to all institutions of force or was it an initiative of an institution of force, the case of Voiculescu?
	I cannot tell you today with certainty that Florian Coldea and Codruța Kovesiserve other interests than Romanian ones. But I suggested it many times and I&#039;ve often asked myself. Today I don&#039;t know if Traian Basescu ordered the execution of Voiculescu and Antena 3 or others from embassies, who you&#039;ve seen how disturbed are by the independent press from Romania. And, therefore, Traian Basescu says: &quot;I just haven&#039;t opposed, because Kovesi and Coldea came and told me it&#039;s over, we&#039;re eating him alive, we change the judges&quot;. And he even asked, &quot;Mr. Ghita what was I supposed to do? To say No, stop, it&#039;s not OK, you are ruining the press&quot;.&nbsp; There was also a personal matter against the Trust. He told me that he thought that maybe such media power can be toxic in society, it also bothered those from embassies, and then Traian Basescu says that went with the tide and that has not objected, even if he should have passed over any personal matter. As President of Romania you can&#039;t let prosecutors take journalists from offices, to shut their mouth, leave them without money, to arrest them; that&#039;s when you&#039;re no longer President and that&#039;s no country.
	In a percentage from 1 to 100, in the case of Dan Voiculescu, how much, in per cent, of the investigation was illegal?
	As procedure, I am afraid that very much. I don&#039;t know if 70 or 90%. But even 1% if they changed a judge, if they forced a witness or if they tampered with evidence, if they have swollen a prejudice to a degree, so Voiculescu can&#039;t pay... They&#039;ve put 60 million as damage so Voiculescu cannot escape from prison 10 years.
	That&#039;s why the prejudice is set so high?
	Yes. Because the law is forced and says &quot;pay first the prejudice and then you get out of jail&quot;. And then these people have no mind, they no longer make sense and have no more measure. The DNA specialist comes and says that the land was worth 60 million.&nbsp; I heard a recording from DNA Ploiesti in which Prosecutor Onea said, &quot;Eh, I put about 10% of the whole amount&quot;. Didn&#039;t they set unlimited foreclosure for me? I&#039;m the only man in the world with unlimited foreclosure. And then haven&#039;t they set a 20 million bail? With this amount I think that I&#039;m in the top 3 in the world.


&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a lie. She&rsquo;s lying to us all.&rdquo;


	You just made an extraordinary disclosure. We&#039;ve always wondered-if you have noticed, not long ago, Ms. Kovesi did a press conference and has boasted that she has to recover one billion.
	It&rsquo;s a lie. She&rsquo;s lying to us all.
	Why?
	It would have been better if we would have registered Mrs. Kovesi to the communists, as she is breaking the record at&hellip;
	I ask you once again. I at least, was surprised, it was a prejudice don...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/ion-cristoiu-face-to-face-with-sebastian-ghita-secrets-of-sri-s-.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[According to the allegations of former parliamentarian, SRI and DNA were involved in both the presidential election and the change of Government Victor Ponta. Each group had a favorite to occupy Victoria Palace, but the "Embassy" won. Regarding to the mayoral elections, Sebastian Ghiță says that the Binomial has changed so many favorites that it lost control of the elections.

Ion Cristoiu: Florian Coldea might say, as he is messianic, that actually there was a corrupt county and that he had proposed, for the sake of this fight against corruption, to break the County. 

Sebastian Ghiță: And when he&#039;ll hear records with his people doing business, moving budgets, forcing builders to make villas for them, repairing roads, what will Mr. Coldea say?


	So these workers were also corrupt. 
	Why do you think I called them &quot;DNA barons&quot;? They became barons instead of barons. They didn&#039;t arrest the barons for the sake of anti-corruption; they arrested them to steal more.
	I found this, while documenting and I quote. Someone named Daniel Florea says in January 30, 2017 that by the end of 2015, Codruța Kovesi met at Str&acirc;jnicu, Prahova, with Prosecutor Marius Iacob, with the leadership of DNA Ploiesti, with Col. Sabin Iancu for your operation. I do not understand.
	There was a rumor about this in Ploiesti, but I don&#039;t have any concrete elements.
	I&#039;ll ask one thing. 17 February 2015, the first dossier. I think it&#039;s a crucial time for you. You had a filling that something will happen? You felt the preparation around you?
	I found out that they were preparing this.
	And were you ready?
	I wasn&#039;t prepared to see what I saw. Papers... I had learned that I was going to be summoned to the Prosecutor&#039;s Office, I didn&#039;t think that I will be put under judicial control, that I won&#039;t be allowed to leave the country.
	Onea and Negulescu: did you know them before?
	I don&#039;t think Negulescu was there then. However, if you look, many of the samples from the dossiers, of the hearings, discussions with witnesses, were done by this Negulescu from another Prosecutor&#039;s Office, took the samples to DNA and everything was a violation of laws and procedures.
	The files followed in the gusts. Five, you have?
	Five, six. You&#039;ve heard Onea and Negulescu: &quot;we&#039;ll do the same to Ghita as we did to Udrea. We take him down, we ask six times the waiver of immunity, make files for stealing laundry on the wire, and for rape; we make files until we kneel him&quot;.
	He gives you judicial control. 
	They weren&#039;t able to arrest me, because I was a parliamentarian.
	Only on March 23 2016, the assault takes place when he required in a new file the waiver of immunity. What happened?
	After I racked up more data and elements about what was happening and after this Portcoală began to tell on the left and the right, throughout the city, that he made an understanding with those in Bucharest, &quot;with Mrs. K, that upstairs, it was decided, and that&#039;s it, Ghita is dead, but he does not know, in the weeks after he&#039;s finished &quot;... you heard it yourself.
	Then a new stage was decided.
	I could hear him to. Got drunk through the bars, restaurants. I, however, was born in that city, I lived there, people loved me, I&#039;ve been good with everyone, and everyone was telling me what this screwy speaks. And then, sure, since I wasn&#039;t that naive, in Coldea&#039;s Commission, I told others it&#039;s not OK what goes on out there, that they falsify evidence. And had a small conflict with taunts, with pressures.&nbsp; Let Ponta go sign his resignation, to go make an understanding with Iohannis. I said, Mr. Coldea, or Florin, if you believe that our children grew up together &mdash; mine, yours and Ponta&#039;s - and you think you&#039;re a great player or that this way you can tell me to tell on Ponta because I will escape and make a deal with the President, and understand that Ponta must leave, you are damn wrong. It means that you don&#039;t know me at all. You can ask me many things. And maybe we did along the life many things together, but surely you can&#039;t let me go home, to look at my boys who stayed close to Ponta&#039;s Irina for eight years, and for me to tell on their father and to hurt them. I can&#039;t do that. And for what? For a political game? Don&#039;t you have enough? What world don&#039;t you fit in? What money, what powers? As to justify and kill myself as a man.
	I have seen the operation against you to get to Ponta, in 2015.&nbsp; Klaus Iohannis was President. You said somewhere that the system wanted to give Iohannis &quot;my Government&quot;. What did you mean by &quot;my Government&quot;? (...) Because the majority was from PSD. Why did they chose to take Ponta out, why bother?
	Because, however, if you remember, PSD and Ponta played pretty well politically and economically. Televisions and free press managed to...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/some-wanted-dincu-as-prime-minister-dragnea-wanted-himself-and-i.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Kovesi proves her power! Day by day. By the arrogance she refuses to appear before a Parliamentary Commission to answer questions that do not suit her, or to pursue political and press opponents to the bitter end. Kovesi has the power to do so, because the game is uneven. Newsmen write articles, appear at shows, expresses on social networks, and Kovesi listens to phones, make files or threatens to make files. As it also happened in the case of Antenna 3.

I don&#039;t want to go into the bowels of the dossier and to draw a conclusion that one side or another was right. Because I&#039;m not a judge to know who&#039;s right according to the law, but it is my duty, ours from &quot;Evenimentul Zilei&quot; to highlight the things that are not OK with this dossier, and especially its implications.

&quot;Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost&quot;.

This is what Thomas Jefferson thought a few hundred years ago, one of the fathers of the United States Constitution. &quot;Our liberty depends on freedom of the press, and cannot be limited without being lost&quot;.

Laura Codruta Kovesi wanted to prove that it&#039;s possible! To prove Thomas Jefferson that she is smarter than him, she has asked for a huge compensation, 1.000.000 lei/210.000 euro (I wonder how she justified it, what trauma she suffered) and received an extremely high one: 300.000 lei/65.000 euro.

The highest compensation ever awarded to an individual in a press trial.

As one who has sued or has been sued I can tell you that the amount is huge! No normal man would receive this from a normal court, because a number of factors are taken into account, from income, revenue, purchasing power, etc... But the most important fact is that a compensation awarded by an instance doesn&#039;t have to turn into a censure-ship instrument. In other words, a journalist should not be prevented from writing by anyone else but his own conscience, not by the pressure of possible large fines.

Here was the maximum arrogance! The amount was important to Kovesi because it reinforce the status of a special person.

I&#039;m curious how many NGOs will protest today. Because there are reasons.

You&#039;ve read about the development of the process. About the preposterous way in which the head of DNA introduced into the legal action, individuals who had not been present in the broadcast, or didn&#039;t say a word. About the last intervention of DNA as institution, in the trial through the application to provide a copy of the entire file, being induced the idea that there is a criminal investigation from DNA. We have all the ingredients of pressure upon judges, which a big part of the press ignored. Because some of us don&#039;t like Mihai G&acirc;dea, or Mircea Badea, we are willing to overlook the many breaches of the rules that should govern a democratic society.

Only things are exactly the opposite! Laura Codruta Kovesi wanted to prove that she is strong, that she gives financial blows to her opponents. So you&#039;d better shut up than open your mouth.&nbsp; Other than to praise her!

There aren&#039;t many things to be said, it is clear that we are witnessing an operation to reduce to silence some critic journalists. And I come back with the opinion that no matter what they say, they have the right to say it! Even at the risk of mistake!

Until the NGOs dealing with freedom of speech, will talk, I would like to conclude with a quote from a famous American judge:

&quot;Only a free and unrestricted press can effectively expose deception in Government&quot; said Hugo Black, one of the most respected judges of the Supreme Court in United States.

He is the one who wrote a separate opinion in the case of the Pentagon Papers, classified documents about the war in Vietnam, published by the New York Times and the Washington Post, arguing for the right of the press to disclose the secrets of governance. The vote was 6-3 in favor of the right to publish. It was the last legal position he expressed as a judge of the Supreme Court, after this moment he retired. You will find his opinion in the movie &quot;The Post&quot; by Spielberg, a film that must be seen and reviewed at least for the press reaction. American.

What impressed me? Then, under the conditions in which a federal judge blocked the New York Times from publishing classified documents, the Washington Post continued, after which a lot of other newspapers in the United States have retrieved the articles. Demonstrating solidarity. What should also be done now.

So I publicly announce that if Antena 3 will open a bank account to cover the amount obtained by the head of DNA, publications Evenimentul Zilei and Capital will be among the first depositors.

P.S. Also judge Hugo Black said in 1968 that &quot;power is corrupt, and power without restriction will also tempt Supreme Court judges, as history tells us that other judges were temp...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/maximum-arrogance-laura-codruta-kovesi-proved-to-be-stronger-tha.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[„The prosecutors from section I DNA left Bucharest quickly went to Suceava, picked up their colleagues’ brother, the chief prosecutor of Section II, who filed the case of the CCR judge, put him in the van, brought him at the DNA, and put him in an office next to the prosecutor's brother. The prosecutor's brother from Section II was apprehended by the DNA prosecutors from Section I, in the middle of the night, at 2.30, on the 5th to 6th February 2015, and the DNA prosecutors from Section I requested and obtained from the Bucharest Tribunal the arrest of the Chief Prosecutor's brother from DNA Section II, exactly in the most tense moments when he handled the CCR judge's file, to put pressure on him " This disclosure was made by journalist Sorina Matei on her blog.

We have learned that it&#039;s about the DNA prosecutor Marius Vartic. He handled the file of Toni Grebla. His brother, Ionut Vartic, former head of the Anti-Fraud Directorate of Suceava, entered the Coldea-Kovesi blender. And he was crushed! Just because CCR judge Toni Grebla needed to be arrested!

Here is the entire post, which reveals a hallucinating story:

&quot;He stood before her, on his knees, as big as he was, and implored her crying out loud not to take his brother. And she took him. Since then, the man was unrecognizable, he could not hear what you told him, you talked to him and he looked blank. Since then he has not been the same&quot; several of the prosecutor&#039;s colleagues say. &quot;It was the worst, the most shocking moment in DNA&quot;

They have &quot;killed&quot; each other, hated each other, got into the van, detained, put themselves handcuffs and offered to arrest, swear, all because of pressures and the despair of the SRI on the CCR that dismissed the Big Brother laws and the instrumentation of the case with the CCR judge.

This is how an institution is being destroyed inside, diseased by the power of handcuffs, cannibalizing people by exploiting known vulnerabilities only at the right time.


	OCTOBER 5, 2011. The DNA reports ex officio by a two-person protocol, one of whom is PSD senator, on buying deeds, respectively traffic of influence. Nothing happens with the minutes for 3 years!!! Because the referral was somewhat &quot;empty&quot; without sufficient evidence in it. As such, 3 years, nobody cares about it and does not deal with it.
	DECEMBER 16, 2013. The senator becomes CCR judge, replacing Iulia Motoc, but as the second option of PSD. The first option, Lucian Bolcaş, is withdrawn / rejected, there are some anti-Semitic statements. So, the PSD is suggested to propose the senator because &quot;he will pass&quot;, PSD proposes him, passes easily, becomes a judge of CCR. Something had been found: the report from the DNA where no one had worked for three years.
	FEBRUARY 10th, 2014. After less than two months, the DNA suddenly starts to take action in the already filed case of the CCR judge with registration number 2011: 385 / P / 2011. An ordinance is issued quickly after 3 years, an ordinance to start criminal prosecution in rem on the facts recorded in the minutes from 2011. They had finally found a &quot;bullet&quot; on the CCR, considering that the senator had become a judge, a &quot;bullet&quot; to draw &quot;at the right time&quot; if anything that does not suit them happens. The file is sent for investigating to one of the most vulnerable DNA prosecutors. The prosecutor&#039;s &quot;vulnerability&quot; was even his brother. The brother has been in a public position for many years, he was suspected of doing nonsense, and the brother is monitored by the SRI. In other words, if the prosecutor does not shoot the judge when they want to, they pull the brother of the prosecutor. Multi-step operation and strategy with backup. That the &quot;bullet&quot; will shoot when they want, as they want, exactly when needed, at the right time. Usually they also &quot;stood&quot; on prosecutors handling the cases they were interested in, finding their vulnerabilities. If the prosecutor comes out of the scheme, they have something to press him with, to come to his senses. This is such a case. The &quot;vulnerable&quot; prosecutor in charge of investigating the judge&#039;s dossier was at that time for eleven years in the DNA, had previously been a judge, military prosecutor, was head of the Office for Combating Offenses in Connection with Public Procurement in Section II of the DNA, kind of naive of its kind, medium level and having a problem: brother.
	APRIL 8, 2014. After 2 months, the &quot;catastrophe&quot; happens. The European Court of Justice invalidates the EU Data Storage Directive, because it intervenes into fundamental human rights and privacy.
	APRIL 30, 2014 and MAY 17, 2014. Two courts in the country, Constanţa and T&acirc;rgovişte, raise with the RCC exceptions of unconstitutionality on the law 82/2012 on data retention and on the law 506/2004 regarding the processing of personal data.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Liviu Dragnea gave an interview to the Associated Press in a surprisingly courageous move for the type of politician the PSD president has so far adopted. The interview of the Associated Press was taken over by Foxnews, Abcnews, New York Times and other overseas publications such as the Chicago Tribune. What happened to Liviu Dragnea, the one who had used us with evasive actions and pirouettes on all the important topics? What came into the American journalists?

Lately, spending more time at the Academy Library, I have intensively debated this issue with Ion Cristoiu, an old subscriber of the reading room. The discussion moved around the fountain in the small park, but also regarding the movement of the Romanian embassy to Jerusalem. Ion Cristoiu thinks that Liviu Dragnea is playing the American hand, and I am convinced that it is a deal made directly with Israeli politicians, who incidentally fall on Donald Trump&#039;s interest. Discussions on coffee, what do expect...

It&#039;s just that Liviu Dragnea&#039;s interview with journalist Alison Mutler for the Associated Press is surprising, not so much as anyone was interested in the fate of the PSD president, Alison Mutler being a journalist dealing with Romania since 1992, but that the material has been extensively taken over by the overseas media, the PSD president being quoted as the most powerful politician in Romania.

This is an approach that you will not find in the Romanian press. For us, the most powerful politician is Laura Codruta Kovesi, with her &quot;We are DNA&quot;, the one whom together with Gen. Florian Coldea, the former first deputy of the SRI, has created a system by which he has subordinated the whole justice.

The two, the Calvin-Klein couple, as George Maior called them, got involved in over their heads in politics, changing governments, arresting CCR judges, parliamentarians, shaping the political life in Romania in their image and likeness. But let&#039;s return to Liviu Dragnea and his recent movements that seem to disregard the ICCJ process and DNA surveys.

The initiative to move the Romanian Embassy to Jerusalem put Klaus Iohannis in a defensive position; he had to fight in a complicated field, making some blunders. The president returned quickly and focused on Viorica Dăncilă, whose resignation as prime minister he asked, at each public appearance.

Only that his real opponent seems to remain Liviu Dragnea, whose political ambitions seem to go beyond the current framework.

From the position adopted by the president of the PSD, there seems to be a game trying to isolate Klaus Iohannis, this time in the strength zone of any President, the foreign policy. Dragnea, that he left Iohannis the European Union area, with the glamorous games of Germany, France, and the tough positions of Brussels, and wants to conquer American support through the powerful influence of the Jewish lobby.

More and more I incline to believe the idea that Liviu Dragnea will run for the presidency of Romania. Otherwise I do not see the purpose of political movements lately made. Liviu Dragnea does not seem to be a politician who works for others, such as the mayor Gabriela Firea-Pandele, or I don&#039;t know whom. The focus of his actions on diplomatic relations also indicates the direction in which he is thinking about acting.

Liviu Dragnea wants to build a political future for himself. And the strategy that he seems to adopt will mean moving the debates from the internal policy area where it is complicated to convince a camp other than that of his own supporters, towards foreign policy. Or, explaining otherwise, the radicalization of the electorate will be done by building the enemy from Brussels. Klaus Iohannis and Dacian Cioloş, two presidential candidates next year, fit perfectly into this landscape depicted by Liviu Dragnea.

Brussels&#039; positions that go towards conditioning European funding to supporting the rule of law, as officials there see it, will be used as proof of the status of European second-hand citizen that is reserved for Romanians. In such a strategic approach, Klaus Iohannis will be shown as the one who supports Brussels against the Romanians!

A strategy that seems to work if the Embassy moves to Jerusalem the recent EU declaration condemning the US decision being blocked by Romania, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Or at least that is what the press in Israel says, which marks the fact that in Romania&#039;s case, the government want&rsquo;s, but the President opposes it.

Later on this rumor was confirmed by the MAE. President Iohannis&#039; reaction was timely, and former Foreign Minister Cristian Diaconescu commented quickly, saying that a mandate from Cotroceni would normally be needed. But it was not required in the political game described above.

It&#039;s interesting to see how things will evolve, because I do not see Klaus Iohannis sitting still and waiting for the next move of the PSD presid...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/the-scandal-of-moving-the-embassy-to-jerusalem-the-first-sign-th.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The parties from the protocol villas of SRI come back in the discussion between Ion Cristoiu and Sebastian Ghiță.

Who called Laura Codruta Kovesi, who she had private discussions with?&nbsp; Former lawmaker describes also an important episode: what did Victor Ponta and Florian Coldea argued about.

Ion Cristoiu: Yes. We talked about your meetings from your home or cellar with Codruta Kovesi and at one point in a recording you are saying, one thing that surprised me by disclosure, I quote: &quot;I will tell you how I met Codruta Kovesi because many of you asked this. I met Mrs. Codruta Kovesi on the premises of SRI, at K2, K4 and at T14. There we met at least twice a week since 2010. And this series of meetings lasted until the year 2014. The reality is that maybe hundreds of such meetings took place in these years. At some of the meetings were present only General Florian Coldea, Laura Codruta Kovesi and a head of the CIA station from Romania.&nbsp; The first one I met in the presence of Mrs. Kovesi and Mr. Coldea was Mr. Karl Schwab, former head of Mrs. Kovesi. And the second is Eric Easlew, perhaps the present head of Mrs. Kovesi&quot;. Mr. Sebastian Ghita...

Sebastian Ghita: I get the impression that Mr. Maior has confirmed some of these things at the Commission.


	No, not that I haven&#039;t said... Yes? Look I did not know... 
	Take the statement of Mr. Manda.
	What did he confirm?
	The meetings between me, Mrs. Kovesi and him from the premises of SRI.


&quot;It wasn&#039;t me who initiated the meetings in the premises of SRI&quot;


	No. Wait. The first question, which is of a perplexed man. I understand. That Mrs. Kovesi was coming to your home, let&#039;s say it was a matter of... But why did you meet twice per week in the premises? What was the deal? You were a business man and she was Attorney General. Why?
	Hmmm&hellip;
	You can&rsquo;t answer&hellip;
	No, I can answer. But let&rsquo;s separate the periods. From 2012 already&hellip;
	You no longer met&hellip;
	It&rsquo;s not true, but in 2012 I already got in the SRI Commission and couldn&rsquo;t get without trouble at the SRI headquarters.
	No, it&rsquo;s not related to the legality of it. I said once more.&nbsp; You were a prosperous businessman. What was your business to meet in an office, in the presence of Coldea - we get to the other guys also, the foreigners- with the Attorney General. I have asked a question of good sense, any viewer asks himself.
	But do not consider me the initiator or the beneficiary of the meeting, that is, not to seem more important than I am...
	No, no, no.&nbsp; I was wondering in terms of... 
	In general...
	They had any business with you?
	They had business with me also and generally Florian Coldea met with her, called her, discussed with Codruta Kovesi and many others of us were also present there. Sometimes they talked separately, sometimes just Maior and Kovesi discussed. Sometimes they were simple, civil discussions...
	And why was the Attorney General called on safety issues that depend on ILLEGAL OPERATIONS?
	Things are not quite like that. Do you remember that the General Prosecutor&#039;s Office, when it was ruled by Kovesi, was involved in many other activities and issues that have moved with the departure of Kovesi at DNA?


&ldquo;Coldea was helping Kovesi both institutionally and personally&rdquo;


	Was Florian Coldea the protector of Codruţa Kovesi? 
	Yes!
	How much he helped her in the activity without any relation to national safety?
	You refer to cooperation between SRI and DNA or the connection between the two?
	No. So Codruta Kovesi had a whole list of things to solve. Do you agree?
	Yes.
	One or two of these things were of national safety and had to speak with Coldea. Where there other things outside of safety?
	Obviously.
	What do you mean, obviously?
	Obviously. Do you want to...?
	Well I wonder, because I&#039;m amazed. What business did the head, the first Deputy of SRI, have with...? 
	You are amazed by the theoretical idea or you are amazed at the 10 years that we&#039;ve all lived?
	I am astonished because it doesn&#039;t seem normal. You are saying that the SRI helped her in some matters, I don&#039;t know, to find drugs... and somehow solved her career. Isn&#039;t it? Contributed to her success.
	I think the SRI has helped all the Attorney&#039;s offices and all public prosecutors. It&#039;s true that Codruta more than others.
	I was referring to the fact that Florian Coldea helped Codruta Kovesi also outside the national security issues. This is what I meant.
	Yes, I am convinced so. They were also friends. I think that he helped her both personally and institutionally. But it was the merit of Codruţa Kovesi that she stood so close to General Coldea. After Florian Coldea left from the Services, we all saw who the mind was who ruled things and how much longer could Codruta Kovesi control this odious mechanism. In a year or six m...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ponta-used-to-say-to-coldea-i-will-fire-you-the-general-hasn-t-t.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The first episode of the interview taken by Ion Cristoiu to Sebastian Ghiță ended when the former Deputy shows him a photo from his phone.

In this second episode, former lawmaker talks about the people who appear in the picture, along with Laura Codruta Kovesi. The photo was taken at Ghiță&#039;s home in Ploiești. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 

THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN ION CRISTOIU AND SEBASTIAN GHITA about the photograph that will generate many discussions

Ion Cristoiu: Will you show us the photos?

Sebastian Ghita: to you Yes, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s time for me to do something more than the President, over the decisions of the institutions of my country and try to provoke, in a way or another, the falling or maintaining of this lady Kovesi.


	You will show it to me right during the interview, you are going to show it to me and I&#039;m going to convince myself. 
	I&#039;ll show it to you now, as you no longer have any doubts about Mrs. Kovesi&#039;s visit to my home.
	Can I show it to the camera?
	No. Please!
	So, I have the photo. You keep it in your phone? I thought you keep it secret somewhere on a stick. I have the photograph and I must pose questions, I&#039;m a journalist. Here in the back what are these, books?
	Here is a wine cellar. In the basement of my house is an aromatic wine cellar.
	Mrs. Codruța Kovesi... you should be careful, because you are an IT man. (Ion Cristoiu was looking into Sebastian Ghiță&#039;s phone).
	Turns off the lights once in a while.
	Mrs. Kovesi is next to a beautiful lady and a gentleman more grizzled, there are three persons, so the viewers to understand, please...
	They are members of my family.
	Family members, I suspect...
	There were other people there, also.
	We once had a dialogue at B1...
	We&#039;ve never had any sentimental relationship. To end the subject of my relationship with Kovesi.
	Finally, you&rsquo;ve convinced me because you wife was there, too. Well she might not have been. One question: but why did you have pictures? The lady wanted to take pictures?
	We were much more relaxed, much more opened, with pictures, videos. But even here, at this event, there were some people, as in the Villa at SRI. I don&#039;t think the dismissal of an official, particularly the goddess of anti-corruption can be made by presenting films and pictures of the Service locations. The Service will never accept this issue. This photo is from my home.&nbsp; At my home in Ploiești.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sebastian Ghiță spoke, in his dialogue with Ion Cristoiu, about the allegations that he would have gone with the "key" of some software essential for the State institutions.

The businessman considers ridiculous such accusations, but says that the State should lean when it orders software, towards Romanian companies.

Ion Cristoiu: a question of national security. As far as I know, over time you made with your company a lot of software for institutions in Romania. Agree?

Sebastian Ghita: one of the main clients was the Romanian State.&nbsp; A matter that I admitted publicly many times.


	I understand. One of the conditions for these applications, to some of the institutions, was that the one who produced it to be a trustworthy man. You&#039;ve left. The Romanian State is not afraid that you will sell your software key now?
	No, Mr. Cristoiu. This is TFL-USR nonsense.
	I just asked.
	Yes, and I answer.
	But it didn&#039;t come from USR, I found it... I don&#039;t know... an independent journalist was asking himself.
	Trying to explain the incompetence and inability to do something during the Government of Ciolos several people there were thinking, if I still can&#039;t answer, to put the blame on Ghita that he ran with the key and with the soft. For those in the industry, it is obvious that there is no key to any software. The source code of a program is now something quite difficult to understand for other people than for the team that created that soft and even if today I would give a million sources code from all of your programs in Romania, without those companies, without those teams, without those system architects that have thought and created it, and there are many software made by Romanian companies, it&#039;s hard to change them, it&#039;s hard to modify them, it&#039;s hard to update those software and that&#039;s why sometimes you have to think not to destroy the Romanian firms which have worked for 20 years, but to help them if they have a more difficult situation, to support them. If there&rsquo;s no work for them, to create some programs in order to maintain the Romanian software industry. It&#039;s no longer the case today, because they have ruined it.


&ldquo;The State software should be produced by Romanians&rdquo; 


	But can the Romanian State trust a foreign software company? 
	Depends on the conditions in the contract. But even if we ask Intrarom company today, Intracom, because they are Greeks, so no one says I have something against the Americans. If we take that firm and say &quot;come on, make us a program for the Pension Fund!&quot; and that company is thinking to retire from Romania and we would ask for the source code and the source code remains on a CD, if you no longer know the 5, 7, 10 people who worked at Intrarom and if you don&#039;t talk to them to tell us what they have written in the source code and discuss how we can change it, will be very difficult. It will be very hard to upgrade that software, to change it.
	I want to understand. There should be Romanian companies and yet be trusted companies because you can&#039;t give the software at force institutions.
	Some people that I respect, from the Services, institutions, from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from other State institutions, for 20-25 years realized this matter. Unlike the younger Generals and newer who said, no problem, we arrest them.
	I meant to ask this.
	Those people leading up to today&#039;s generation thought like you.&nbsp; However it&#039;s good that software companies, to have a local component and, in this way, through a relationship with those local producers, Romania to keep its ability to function.


&quot;We cannot eliminate the Romanian firms, no matter how much the ambassadors in other countries want&quot;


	A delicate question. However, your firms have been among the favorite for those software. I&#039;m not going to do now the theory of state contracts. Does it mean that the SRI had faith in you? You were good or you were also trusted?
	I&#039;ll answer that question, but before let me tell you the following issue. All business with the State made by both me and Romanian firms came as a result of auctions. Today I haven&#039;t seen that the accusations are: you faked I don&#039;t know which auction or you gave money to some Director and I caught you. No. Today the accusation is: you made business with the State. And so what? Foreign companies need to do business with the State? We do not have permission to enter into competition in our country? I have said it many times. What I want to say is, however, going over all the accusations, I justified the money that I&#039;ve earned during these years through the sale of companies. Don&#039;t forget that I have sold the half of the shares from EMAG and I received a lot of money and paid the fees and taxes.&nbsp; I sold all the other companies, from the energy and from IT field, before I entered into politi...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/sebastian-ghita-in-dialogue-with-ion-cristoiu-i-haven-t-left-wit.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The first episode of the interview taken by Ion Cristoiu to Sebastian Ghiță ended when the former Deputy shows him a photo from his phone.

In this second episode, the former Deputy talks about the people who appear in the picture, along with Laura Codruta Kovesi. The photo was taken at Ghita&#039;s home in Ploiești.

In today&#039;s material, Ghita speaks in detail about the parties organized in SRI villas on the occasion of the anniversaries of Florian Coldea, the businessman also speaking about the stories of those who participated in these events.

A paper in one of Ghita&#039;s dossiers is a document from a Romanian State operation

Wednesday night, after broadcasting the first part of the interview recorded in Belgrade, Sebastian Ghita and Ion Cristoiu were called from Romania TV studio.

Ion Cristoiu spoke about the backstage of the registration. He said that Sebastian Ghita revealed him that the first targets of the parallel State have been the press companies. The former lawmaker also told Cristoiu that a paper found now in the criminal case tied to possible corruption of voters in the Republic of Moldova, in the fall of 2014, was actually a document from an operation organized by the Romanian State that had no connection with electoral scrutiny and which Ghita would have given to Florian Coldea. Basically, Ghita is saying that the document of a State action that he attended was sent by Florian Coldea to DNA, though the former first Deputy of SRI was one of the organizers of the action. Cristoiu also said that Ghita left him the feeling throughout the 4-hour interview that he would protect the SRI.

About the the documents from Sebastian Ghiță&#039;s dossier regarding the connection with the elections in Moldova Vlad Cosma also made disclosures.

Located in the Studio, journalist Dan Andronic recalled a detail from the record of the interview: &quot;there was a discussion about the pictures in Paris (with Elena Udrea and Alina Bica) how did they get in the press, who called Sebastian Ghiță to retrieve an IP address where the pictures were going to be on for a few hours.&quot;

Ghita: &quot;Kovesi deals with the removal of Romanian companies off the market&quot;

Sebastian Ghita intervened by phone Wednesday evening at Romania TV. &quot;I haven&#039;t yet seen the Romanian Parliament to praise DNA.&nbsp; Only the embassies receive and decorate this DNA. First and early supporters of this Binomial are those from the U.S. Embassy. You have seen then the Dutch Embassy, Embassy of France or England&quot;, said Ghita. According to Ghita, the Dutch Ambassador would have a criminal record, at the Court of appeal. &quot;There is also a public file, investigated by the Romanian authorities, at the Court of appeal, and where clearly and obviously the Dutch Ambassador was caught stealing with an Arab citizen. Mrs. Kovesi handles those interests that are not beneficial for the Romanian State and the elimination from the market of Romanian companies and interests, and to me this stuff doesn&#039;t sound like an institution (within the Romanian constitutional context (...) Mr. Dragnea told me about the Ambassador of Belgium, who boldly came up to him in the Office and said, &quot;give me the North Train-station without auction&quot;, to make a real estate project. There&#039;s no Minister in Romania that does not tell, how, when they were invested, couldn&#039;t push the door how many ambassadors were there and had no room to enter because of them&quot; said Ghita.

We now continue with the publication of the interview.

&quot;We&#039;ve never had any relationship. To end my relationship with Kovesi&quot;


	Ion Cristoiu: Are you going to show us the photos?
	Sebastian Ghita: to you Yes, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s time for me to do something more than the State President, over the decisions of the institutions of my country and try to challenge myself, in one way or another, the falling or maintaining of this lady Kovesi.
	You are going to the show it to me even during the interview, you will show it to me and I&#039;m going to convince myself. 
	-I&#039;ll show it to you now, so you no longer have any doubts about the visit Kovesi made to my house.
	Can I show it to the camera?
	No. Please!
	So I have the photo. You hold in your phone? I thought you hold it somewhere on a secret stick. I have the photograph and I must pose questions, I&#039;m a journalist. Here in the back, what are these, books?
	Here is a wine cellar. In the basement of my house is an aromatic wine cellar.
	Mrs. Codruta Kovesi... you should be careful, you&#039;re an IT man.&nbsp; (Ion Cristoiu was looking into Sebastian Ghiță&#039;s phone)
	Turns off the lights once in a while.
	Mrs. Codruta Kovesi is next to a beautiful lady and a more grizzled gentleman, there are three persons, so that the viewers to understand please...
	They are members of my family.
	Members of the family, I suspect&hellip;

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The first episode of the EVZ series has as central figure Sebastian Ghiță. Ion Cristoiu obtained sensational information concerning the political games behind the scene, but also the most desired confirming of the allegations that Sebastian Ghiță made before he left for Serbia.

Ion Cristoiu: can you be a trustworthy man of the Services without being a covered officer?

Sebastian Ghita: there are many people in whom the services trust, the institutions trust the executives or shareholders of those companies without being covered officers. You can&#039;t lay a big blanket over Romania and to cover all. And then, however, we have to accept the idea that some people, some firms, some shareholders get to work for the State in various institutions without necessarily being connected to the Services. I know many companies and many younger people, newer on the market that I do not believe they have some connection with this idea with the covered officers.


	I get back. The CIA and the great secret services of the world have business men through which resolve certain operations.&nbsp; Can I consider you as one of the people through which the correct operations, through whose company the SRI has deployed operations? You don&#039;t have to tell me which.
	I don&#039;t know if necessarily the SRI, but remember that on one of the tapes...
	&hellip; You talked about bringing Nicolae Popa
	Yes, it happens. To say that this was a way of shaming Kovesi it&rsquo;s one thing.
	Why the Romanian State couldn&rsquo;t bring him and had to turn to a private firm? I want to understand something of the Romanian State thinking.
	It&#039;s not so simple to bring a citizen from a country to another, especially when there are extradition treaties, when that country is far, when cultural differences are large, when partnering with the Prosecutor or departments from there... Sometimes it&#039;s better not to involve, sometimes you don&#039;t have the means, other times it&#039;s a matter of speed... There are many elements that contribute to making a decision, &quot;Let&#039;s see how we do an operation!&quot;
	By the way, after you left, I wrote an article that is called: &quot;Sebastian Ghita. The real bomb is that he left with many of the Services&#039; secrets &quot;. You&#039;ve gone with secrets?
	No, but living there in Bucharest for 10-15 years and circling me in this environment, in these circles, it is likely that I have learned and know more things than other people who have not had this concern and that they haven&#039;t wanted to learn and to understand what the Romanian State means.
	I understand. Tell me who can guarantee me that a foreign secret service doesn&#039;t contact you here and doesn&#039;t ask for information?
	The same thing that ensures you I&#039;m not contacted in Bucharest.&nbsp; Meaning it&#039;s not a matter of territoriality, but of man.
	Let&#039;s get back at that time... Tell me, have you seen the first record? You saw yourself on TV?
	I have not managed all the time to see the records when they were broadcast, but I&#039;ve seen it all, obviously.
	And you had from the country ... You watched the feedback? You watched to see what the press is saying? Or said: I gave them and I mind my own business. 
	I watched the news, but the issue of feedback in such a situation is the safe path towards perdition. I have avoided taking any feedback.
	The moment of your departure, last time you were seen in Romania, on 19 December, in the evening at an action, not to say party, of the SRI. 
	It was an action; there was an usual meeting between members of the Commission, between all that had been in the Commission with the Management of the Service.
	I always have a replica, I say: epic. Tell us where it was!
	At K2. The leadership of the Service, the Director and first Deputy and deputies, come, shake hands, exchange a few words for an hour or two with those of the Commission who complete their mandate. I went at that meeting, seeking to look once again in the eyes of Florin.
	Did you know that he was the end of all actions?
	None of us are naive. Think that for 2-3 years, maybe more, maybe I was naive, I told him, I explained to him and Kovesi and Marius Iacob, and to Maior and others in the Commission: what happens to this man from Ploieşti and these guys. I did not know then that all prosecutors sat at a table, they falsified records, but I could see that there are things wrong. All these false witness, covered said: They make us do things that are not right. It&#039;s wrong&quot;. And I was telling Coldea everything and explain and he smiled, he laughed, he seemed surprised. And then I wanted to look once more in his eyes.


&quot;There were some tense moments between Maior and Coldea&quot;


	I ask the human side...
	Humanly speaking, I however did not imagine that after 2-3 years they would ignore me after so many things happened between us.
	The action against you, in gust...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/coldea-about-kovesi-s-prosecutors-those-at-dna-went-mad-sebastia.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The first episode of the EVZ series has as central figure Sebastian Ghiță. Ion Cristoiu obtained sensational information concerning the Romanian political games behind the scene, but also the most desired confirming of the allegations that Sebastian Ghiță made before he left for Serbia.

Today, from 21:00, you can watch on www.evz.ro the moment of interview when Sebastian Ghiță shows a photo that persuaded Ion Cristoiu that his interlocutor that he doesn&#039;t lie and that he was close to people in the State.

Ion Cristoiu: Tell me... I&#039;m trying to imagine the evening of 19.&nbsp; You were determined to leave when you&#039;ve gone?

Sebastian Ghita: No.

- Eee. How? You had such a revelation?

- Yes.

- Interesting, a real sensational disclosure. What influenced you at that party that made you leave?

- The attitude towards me.

- Whose?

- All those present there. I realized that Georgian Pop, who until then was a little boy from the Embassy, was pulling me up by the ear. Other older senator was petting me on he the head, more so he almost slapped me. It was obvious that everyone there had been in some way or another informed that the next day I will be arrested, that I have no chance, do not escape, that everything&#039;s ready. Yet I am a man who can realize when something bad happens.

&ldquo;Christmas was coming and my name was Ghita&rdquo;


	Someone was saying that out there, at some point, you have said something to Florian Coldea. I&#039;m telling you what the version that circulated after you left was. That you went there in a last effort to get rid of the arrest the next day. So you realized they had this attitude towards you...tapping on your shoulder...
	Suddenly Christmas was coming and my name was Ghita. I was as Portocala said: dead, only I didn&#039;t know. Still alive walking on the streets, but I was walking dead. They were close to taking the measures for my clothes. It was a very unpleasant feeling, I told you, to fear for your life is not a simple matter. I know well what can happen and what not.
	I was referring to the atmosphere. You were already a walking dead without being arrested.
	Yes, everyone sympathized with me. They looked through me and I was concerned, I was worried about the situation, because though you&#039;d expect in institutions, in life, in society to meet at some point judges, heads of institutions, people called to defend citizens and you only find a strong desire to see the other dead.
	In a normal democracy they might not know. Theoretically the prosecutor...
	I told you, when Florian explain this issue to others I burst into laughter.&nbsp; When before the elections took Ilie Sarbu from a hotel, the candidate&#039;s father-in-law, with the Special Forces, who could have told me they didn&#039;t know. Or when they chased Ponta&#039;s mom and sister, Prime Minister, with false evidence and false folders didn&#039;t anybody know?! Portocala wouldn&#039;t decide on his own to chase the Prime Minister&#039;s family when the Prime Minister was in America at the Pentagon?
	Or when they took Buşoi out from the game at the local elections.
	We&#039;ve seen what happened in the local elections. You&#039;ve asked, during the discussion, if I consider myself or I considered a trusted man of Romanian State or institutions. I think that as long as people have voted me in Parliament, I ended up in the SRI Commission, as long as I was a part of all these projects for the development of information infrastructure in the State today, I can say that I&#039;m a man of trust in Romania. I can&#039;t believe that a citizen can fight with his country, with the institutions in his country. I think just that, slowly, as we find out the truth regarding those forged folders I can get back.


&quot;I don&#039;t mean to provoke the falling or maintaining of Kovesi&quot;

Ion Cristoiu: Mr. Sebastian Ghita, one of the themes of these recordings as a red thread, and other interventions of your&#039;s, is the relationship with the head of DNA, Codruta Kovesi, since the period when she was Prosecutor-General.&nbsp; In these records you speak about different times showing a fairly close relationship, even friendship with Codruta Kovesi. Let&rsquo;s see what you were saying in the first record about your relationship with Mrs. Kovesi: &quot;I want to ask Mrs. Kovesi if she remembers the small party from the villa in Sinaia where she with Vasile D&acirc;ncu and me partied with musicians and sang at La Chilia in the port, the variant for the rule of law&quot;. In the last episode, that from 16 January, you bring new details about the party from Sinaia: &quot;It is very easy to verify the party in Sinaia. It was at SRI Villa in Sinaia. The drivers saw and can witness, also the waiters and the musicians. In the following episodes you will also see the video.&nbsp; Mrs. Kovesi still does not answer the question: was she or not at that party. But it is abnormal...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/sebastian-ghita-about-the-last-evening-in-romania-georgian-pop-w.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The first episode of the EVZ series has as central figure Sebastian Ghiță. Ion Cristoiu obtained sensational information concerning the political games behind the scene, but also the most desired confirming of the allegations that Sebastian Ghiță made before he left for Serbia.

Today, at 21:00, you can watch on the www.EVZ.ro the moment of the interview when Sebastian Ghiță shows a photo that persuaded Ion Cristoiu that his interlocutor didn&#039;t lie and that he was close to people in the State. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 

In December 20, 2016, more than one year ago, the public opinion in Romania was awakened by breaking news that all the news televisions broadcast. Sebastian Ghita, former deputy and member of the Commission for the control of SRI, television owner, top businessman, fled the country.&nbsp; Not even eight days have passed and, on the evening of 28 December 2016 in prime time, a new bomb explodes, which counteracts the first: a first registration in a series of eight is broadcast in which Sebastian Ghita, the fugitive-as he is already named, makes staggering disclosures about the parallel State. The series ended on 16 January 2017.

As a result of the disclosures, the next day, on January 17, 2017, the almighty general Florian Coldea, first Deputy Director of SRI, is dismissed and discharged after years at the head of SRI.

From 16 January 2016, Sebastian Ghita, though at the end of the last episode promised that he would return with the disclosures, has not done that, he remained silent, and although sensational, those disclosures had a big problem: their author was missing, the press, the public opinion has not been able to ask questions, could not sort things out in relation to many things told by Sebastian Ghita.

Some of these things were announced as to be proved-in the future. Sebastian Ghita has not proven them anymore. As it is, for example, the famous photo or film about the presence of Codruţa Kovesi at his home or, as the journalists say, in a vineyard, it was a cellar there. Many things had details that needed to be explained.

At that time, after disclosures and even in their time, I have written many articles. I considered, and I repeat with all responsibility, that these are crucial disclosures in the battle between what I call the healthy forces in Romania, and the dictatorship of the messianic sergeants.

Being curious and aroused by those disclosures, I gladly took the invitation made by Evenimentul Zilei to travel to Belgrade and to have a discussion with Mr. Sebastian Ghita about those disclosures. The way of work, you&rsquo;ll see, is as follows: I&#039;ll give you quotes from the records at that time and after each quote I&#039;ll have a discussion with Mr. Sebastian Ghita regarding the puzzlement that stirred each record and with evidence that he will bring.

&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not a fugitive&rdquo;

Ion Cristoiu: So, hello, Mr. Sebastian Ghita!

Sebastian Ghita: Hello, Mr. Cristoiu!


	I want to tell you my pleasant surprise. I know you when you have left the country after that grim picture that all the televisions gave when they caught you at Belgrade with beard.&nbsp; You look very well, young man, you&#039;ve lost weight. But what about that photograph? Why did you accept to appear?
	I&#039;ve never agreed for it to appear, but in the vortex awakened that evening in the restaurant, one of the policemen made a photo, in a hurry. And then that photo came out slightly distorted.
	But, didn&rsquo;t you have a beard?
	I had.
	You were undercover or why?
	I was a ran-away. I was gone and, sometimes, to not be recognized, a change helps.
	Anyway, I&#039;m going to tell you something, not out of politeness, and for those who are looking at this series of now. I&#039;m really glad you have not changed at all. You are happy, as I have said, but not irresponsible. Cheerful, you are optimistic, do not seem at all a fugitive, if I can say so.
	I&rsquo;m not a fugitive.


&quot;A man should have the chance to defend his life&quot;


	The press gave you the pet-name fugitive.
	Yes, and maybe they ought to think better about how well they used it and how they will use this term. Because it&#039;s time, I think, to say very clearly that when a man&#039;s life is in danger, that man must have at least the chance to defend his life.&nbsp; Today, after a year, I think the whole Romania sees what thoughts had that so-called Prosecutor Mircea Negulescu, as encouraged by his superiors and colleagues.
	Not only him. There are many, many in the meantime disclosures that show that Negulescu was already a prototype of an investigator.
	Yes, and I couldn&#039;t pretend not to know that he had prepared a cell for me, that he had put some bullies there, a cell with miserable conditions, that he had moved Blejnar from a cell to another only to make room for me, that he had been a few days earlier at the prison from C&acirc;mpina to prepare the place where he wa...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/sebastian-ghita-interview-with-cristoiu-i-went-the-last-time-at-.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<description><![CDATA[]]></description>
							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The report about SIPA Archive, published in exclusivity by Evenimentul zilei and declassified on Friday by Minister Tudorel Toader, contains serious allegations to Macovei. Pruna, who was her Parliamentary Assistant, passed it from the category "Secret Service" to "Secret" without any legal basis.

The Ministry of Justice has published Friday evening on the institution site, after the HG. 410 from 9 June 2017, relating to the declassification of SIPA archive appeared in the Official Monitor, two reports and an annex for one of them. Specifically, Minister Tudorel Toader has declassified and made public the 096 Report regarding the activity of the Commission made by OMJ no. 1.348/C from 31 may 2007, modified by OMJ no.&nbsp; 1489/C from 11.06.2007, which appeared exclusively in the Evenimentul zilei, but also the 0097 Report regarding the Commission&#039;s activity made by OMJ 2418/C on 24 September 2007, and also the minute 087 from 10.04.2008 at the headquarters of the National Administration of Penitentiaries.

Pruna was playing classification

The first thing that needs to be explained is that the Commission&#039;s Chiuariu-Predoiu Report from 2008 was at the level of secret service until 2016, when it was passed in a higher class, being stamped with SECRET.

The Minister of Justice at that time was Raluca Pruna, Monica Macovei&#039;s former collaborator, who is suspect in this document. This gesture of Raluca Pruna raises big question marks regarding the compliance with legislation on the classification and preservation of the documents with secret character. Why did the Minister Raluca Pruna felt the need to &quot;bury&quot; even deeper a report which highlighted some possible offences?&nbsp; Declassification of the three documents by the current Minister of Justice Tudorel Toader is the consequence of shocking disclosures made in Evenimentul zilei, by journalist Dan Andronic regarding the SIPA archive. The importance of the facts recorded exclusively by EVZ has been confirmed also by the DIICOT, which has opened an investigation &quot;in rem&quot;.

She proposed a HG, and then forgot

As I said, the 096 report&#039;s declassification from 2008 highlights yet another shocking information: in 2016, Raluca Prună, former Minister of Justice in the Cioloș Government tried to save her friend Monica Macovei!

In the summer of 2016, Minister Raluca Pruna announced that it takes a regulatory action of major importance for the abolition of SIPA archive. The GD project, she said, responded to the needs mentioned by creating a Commission which, with Celerity, was supposed to inventory the documents from the archive of the DGPA and transmit them according to their specificity, to the competent institutions.

In 27.07.2016, appear in the press the first references to the project thought by Raluca Pruna and her team regarding the SIPA archive. In fact, this was just another way to wander into the SIPA archive, the place where were stored over 5.000 archive units on career and life of hundreds of magistrates, politicians, journalists.

Here&#039;s the enlightening fragment from the Government Decision project, which Minister Raluca Pruna wanted to pass in July-August 2016.

&quot;At the Ministry of Justice level was considered necessary to issue a new normative act with the same value, which constitutes the basis for unsealing the archives of the former DGPA, its inventory, accessing documents of interest for litigants and distributing documents, i.e. the documents handover to the competent authorities&quot; reads the draft.

Only instead of proceeding according to the law, Raluca Prună, after seeing the serious facts that Monica Macovei is accused of in the Commission report 096 Chiuariu-Predoiu, she made secret for the second time the document on which former Minister Catalin Predoiu wrote &quot;Secret Service&quot;.

Serious mistakes of Minister Pruna

Raluca Prună left the GD project, waved to the press on 27.07.2016, and 18.08.2016 (after 3 weeks) passed the report signed by former Minister Catalin Predoiu at an upper-class grading, applying on the first page of the document the stamp SECRET. In her rush to bury the Report that accuses Macovei, Raluca Prună made several mistakes:


	She only put the stamp SECRET on the document&rsquo;s first page
	Has not given a new number in 18.08.2016, when she secreted again the 096 Report, although the legislation in this respect is crystal clear.
	She didn&#039;t noticed the authorized institutions when she took note of the Commission Report of 2008, classified at that time just as the secret service, although it was about very serious Security Incidents and possible offences concerning the national safety law.
	She violated the law because she has not made the classification by a GD.


Will Tudorel Toader notify the Prosecutor?

The current declassification of Minister Tudorel Toader is of major importance, because it shows that the f...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/the-effort-made-to-protect-macovei-at-all-costs-for-10-years-the.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Journalist Dan Andronic declared Sunday at Antena 3 that the real reason for the DNA Chief Prosecutor Laura Kovesi, gave an extensive interview to the site ziare.com, is related to the fact that she intends to avoid the presence in front of the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission, which deals with the events of 2009 election night.

As stated by Evenimentul Zilei journalist, Codruta Kovesi will recognize that she was present at Gabriel Oprea&#039;s home at the 2009 presidential elections night, and thus avoid the presence in front of members of the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission, who invited her to hearings three times so far.

&quot;As a person who worked in the area of public relations, things are quite clear: it&#039;s an interview which was meant to be so, in which all the themes had to be cleared. There is a strategy that certain people in difficulty use, such as a weekend interview, in which you try to explain all charges.

In the second part of the interview (the one announced by ziare.com for Monday), I think she will refer to the 2009 presidential election and will admit she was at Gabriel Oprea&#039;s home that night. After that, she will say something like there is no point to go to the Parliamentary Committee of inquiry since she already has done this, she recognized... That is my guess.

Clearly it&#039;s a useful interview for her, otherwise she would come at Mihai Gadea&#039;s show if she wanted a confrontation in which other questions are asked than those already established.

In the Tel Drum dossier, Laura Codruta Kovesi knows very well who the prosecutors who have handled this dossier are. You can see from the information that has already appeared in the public space, it is about the journalist Sorina Matei...

(...) In such a moment, the only version you have is to tell the truth, since any avoidance of the truth makes journalists to ask another question, and another question.

(...) I think that registration with Laura Codruta Kovesi is a fake because you can only hear her voice...

(...) Probably she has her own advisers in DNA, there are PR firms that work for her... I think the stakes of the interview is not the register from DNA meeting. Nor of other related subjects, which somehow had to be explained. I think what&#039;s at stake is the second part of the interview which will appear tomorrow (Monday 17 July 2017), when she should be present at the Parliamentary Commission investigating presidential elections 2009.

I am willing, if she is also (Laura Codruta Kovesi), to do a polygraph test to see who is lying. I&#039;m curious what will be her version, and if she denies (that she was at Gabriel Oprea&#039;s home in 2009 presidential election night) she has her fate sealed, but I don&#039;t think she will deny.

It is clear that the pressure which existed lately over Laura Codruta Kovesi, has put its mark on her. She uses the word never&nbsp;&nbsp; extremely often. It&#039;s almost like Florian Coldea&#039;s battle, which has made a career in the press.

Unlike previous moments when Laura Codruta Kovesi characterized different people as corrupt, now there was a revolt inside DNA. There was a real execution with Tulius and Moraru. The explanations that she gives are slightly naive. For the first time, she was facing a revolt from inside. I am convinced that anytime the two prosecutors would be able to give much more details. I don&#039;t think Moraru lied when he said that Laura Codruta Kovesi asked him to arrest Elena Udrea. I think Laura Codruta Kovesi is lying now.

Codruta Kovesi says (in the interview for ziare.com) that a technical expertise was done, but you cannot do it unless you have the original. When speaking of collages... to create some words, it is almost impossible. That phrase minding her must have existed, because there is no one to imitate her voice...

She is talking about compromising some folders; this means that the registration is reliable.

Don&#039;t you see that they are afraid to hold her accountable&quot; said Dan Andronic for Antena 3.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Former director of the Romanian Security and Protection Service, Dumitru Iliescu, makes shocking revelations on its Facebook page.

The man who led the SPP between 1990 and 1996 writes that early in 2009, when Liviu Dragnea was Minister of Internals for 10 days, the current leader of PSD was opened a criminal file in order to be obedient to the secret service. Iliescu reveals that Dragnea resigned in 2009 after a discussion with him. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 

Dumitru Iliescu, who was a Presidential Adviser on national security issues during the last mandate of Ion Iliescu, writes that what happens these days to Liviu Dragnea is not by chance, being a target of the system. &quot;Him as other notable PSD leaders, both central and local, have been permanent targets of the secret service, which acted and act today according to a well-developed plan,&quot; writes Iliescu on his socialization page.

A file was opened for Liviu Dragnea initially without criminal proceedings.&nbsp; 

He reveals that in early 2009, when Dragnea was appointed Minister of the Internals, he was under fantastic pressure from the secret service. &quot;Of course you ask what determined Mr. Dragnea to retire from the post of Minister of Internals, after 10 days of taking over this portfolio. Before he appointed him, Mr. Basescu called him at Cotroceni where he has put several conditions, including the appointment of persons, approved by him, leading MAI. Although Mr. Dragnea initially accepted the conditions, the leadership of SRI, for more security asked some prosecutors in DNA, to reopen him two criminal cases, with facts of corruption, which had been resolved earlier with NUP (without criminal proceeding).&nbsp; I was informed of this operation by a person from SRI, presenting also evidence in this regard. I&#039;ve informed them about the situation on Mr. Geoana and Mr. Adrian Nastase, whom Mr. Dragnea had a close relationship. Mr. Năstase suggested me to have a discussion with Mr. Dragnea.&nbsp; I met with him in a protocol salon at the Senate, and I reported what action he was prepared. I told him that I am not the one who decides what to do, but him, which at that time had available the tools with which to verify the veracity of the information received,&quot; argues former director of SPP.

He returned to Telelorman to escape the pressure

Apparently after this discussion and after having checked whether the information is real, Dragnea chose to submit his resignation from the leadership of the Ministry of the Internals and returned as leader of the Teleorman County Council, to lower the interest of the System in relation to himself and his entourage. &quot;After he documented in relation to the matter discussed, Mr. Dragnea decided what you know, citing, elegantly, the inadequacy of the funds allocated to the Ministry, which is in fact real, and which had a significant importance in shaping his choice&quot; writes Dumitru Iliescu.

Dragnea is now pressed according to the same scenario from 2009

He thinks that the same type of pressure is subdued now the leader of PSD, the main actors being the secret services. &quot;I don&#039;t know if the facts imputed are real or manufactured, if they are partly true and partly manufactured, but it turns out that the main players are the same, i.e. secret service. Not coincidentally, I sent a message on Facebook to Mr. Dragnea, before the censor motion, in which I recommend him to find a solution to settle the differences with Mr. Grindeanu, warning him that otherwise he can head to the political bankruptcy&quot; writes Iliescu.

Soros&#039; foundations are coordinated by the Services

Former SPP director speaks in his posting about the allegations made by Dragnea to George Soros and says that behind the Foundations financed by the American billionaire also stand the Romanian Secret Services. &quot;Mr. Dragnea is mad at George Soros and his foundations, which, what&#039;s right, are financed by him, but he does not coordinate them, but those people from the secret services, which he sponsored and made loyal in all these years and that execute unconditionally what orders are transmitted in his name and not only of his own&quot; argues Iliescu.

He appeals to SRI to retreat from the political game

He believes that SRI is involved in the Act of Justice and political games. &quot;I hope that the new director of SRI, which seems to make other policy than his predecessors, to take the necessary measures. Also I hope that the policy makers, to leave the state of severe visual and auricular handicap and to intervene more determined to put things in their natural order&quot; writes Iliescu. His posting ends with a trenchant message: &quot;remove the secret services from the political game!&quot;

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Operation "We are the State". I've written in recent months countless materials about the way which was built in Romania a parallel structure of power, concentrated around the key personalities who owned the main structures of force of Romania.

I have brought to light a phylum of relationships of subordination and friendship between politicians, judges, prosecutors, intelligence officers, dignitaries, which created a veritable spider&#039;s Web between the State structures. &quot;Their mission&quot; was real power perpetuation, informal, regardless of who held the political power.

Thus a circle of power was created in which the main pillars were Victor Ponta, George Maior, Florian Coldea, Gabriel Oprea, Laura Codruta Kovesi. Orbiting around them were different characters, from business, the media, local administration, football, from Sebastian Ghiță to Vasile D&icirc;ncu, passing by Puiu Iordănescu and Neculai Onțanu.

It was a circle of power based on relations of friendship, kinship, business, in which there were consolidated informal power structures. I could say, looking back, that the most powerful member of this grouping was (and still is) SRI General Florian Coldea.

I&#039;ve heard many legends concerning the influence Florian Coldea had on the system&#039;s structures of force and I can tell you that at least a couple of times I saw it turn into political or criminal decisions. The knowledge which he acquired in the 11-year mandate at the head of the institution that accumulates most information reaching internal and external recipients is hard to match by any of those mentioned above. That is why he was the hardest to eliminate.

Perhaps if the new director of SRI, Eduard Hellvig, wouldn&#039;t have been a man &quot;who hates abuse&quot; as himself stated, the scent of omnipotence given by the parallel structures of power would have stunned him quickly. And we would have assisted to a strengthening of the Operation &quot;We are the State!&quot;

However, he preferred to take the institution out of the power games, to return it to its natural mission, no longer broadcast indictments for DNA and surveillance of the target people with warrants for national security based on the famous article 3 letter f of the National Safety Law.

For those who don&#039;t know what&#039;s with the famous article 3, subparagraph (f), I can say that it is the most important finding of those who created the Operation &quot;We are the State&quot;.

Is the article that establishes any Romanian citizen as the saboteur: &quot;undermine, sabotage or any other actions aimed at the removal by force of the democratic institutions of the State or that brings serious prejudice to the fundamental rights and freedoms of Romanian citizens or may affect the ability to defense or other such interests of the country and also acts of destruction, decay or bringing in the state of unused the structures necessary for the proper conduct of social life- economic or national defense.&rdquo;

It seems an expression from the time of Gheorghiu Dej? So it is, but the law is in force in Romania in the year 2017. While the mandates of listening on national security, given by the thousands every year in the time of Florian Coldea, were grounded on article 3, subparagraph (f).

A simple example of how anachronistic legislation serves modern purposes of power conquest.

But things are far from being completed. We have witnessed these days to a major conflict inside DNA. I&#039;ve heard prosecutors saying they expect to be arrested by Laura Codruta Kovesi, as they know what she is capable of. Two highly feared prosecutors until a week ago, Doru Țuluș and Mihaela Iorga, became enemies of the DNA chief because they didn&#039;t participate enthusiastically to an act of mindless power.&nbsp; So they became, overnight, potential criminals, future defendants. According to the recipe that Laura Codruta Kovesi & Florian Coldea have applied to all those who inconvenienced them.&nbsp; Only now disclosing no longer come from people outside the system, but from those who participated in the &quot;pickling&quot; of many.

This is the final episode of this Operation. Which, unfortunately will bring the destruction of the DNA.

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[SIPA Archive (Independent Service of Security and Anti-corruption) and related mysteries continues to make many people talk, some of them being so far, out of the political game with the dossiers of the magistrates.

A political game that has begun since 1997, when Valeriu Stoica was Justice Minister. He was the first Minister of Justice which gave the possibility of collecting data and documents about the life and career of the magistrates. An important step has been made in the time of Adrian Năstase, when Justice Minister, Cristian Diaconescu, has initiated and was approved, Government Decision 637/2004, by which SIPA turns into DGPA (Directorate General for Protection and Anti-corruption).

According to this decision, the DGPA would deal with activities of procurement, verification, processing, storage and use of information in the field of national safety, corresponding with the General Direction of Penitentiaries, Autonomous Corporation &quot;Multiproduct&quot;, their establishments and enterprises, and also the Ministry of Justice, Prosecutor General, P.N.A. and the places working with classified information.

I went into the possession of an important new document, which clears another mystery tied to SIPA Archive. Respectively, the first visit which the Minister of Justice, Monica Macovei, has made, along with her adviser Dan Tapalagă, at its headquarters. It was exactly in the second day of the mandate as Minister!

From reading this Note, written by a SIPA officer, of whom we reproduce today only the first page, arise some extremely important details: access has been made without ORNISS certification, and on the way out was taken the register containing records of secret documents. Extremely serious facts unknown until now!

For the first time, we have an exact figure of the files contained in the SIPA archive. At the end of the Note is specified that, for the checking of documents archived in the year 2006, about 5.600 UNITS of ARCHIVES (notes, addresses, agenda etc.) it requires comparing schedules with the file notes. So the figure 3.000 folders dedicated to magistrates, lawyers and other categories, advanced by us in the first articles on the subject, is close to the truth.

We start by reproducing the beginning of this handwritten Note

Note


	At 5-6 January 2005, by order of Minister Monica Macovei, had been sealed at the Ministry of Justice: Office of Classified Documents, the Legal Directorate and the Office of Legislative drafting. (So far, no one has referred to this important detail).&nbsp; Perhaps when they failed to find what they were looking for, moved to section 2.
	January 7-8 2005, at&nbsp; 8 o&rsquo;clock in the evening the following presented at the offices of the Directorate-General of Prisons:


Minister Monica Macovei and Dan Tapalagă. The object of the visit was that of verifying the entry and exit of secret documents of SIPA in the last quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of the following year.

Were present at this activity since then, head of the SIPA Col.&nbsp; Marius Stoian, and two petty-officers officers or officers responsible for the archive.

The Minister and the attendant were requested documents of access to classified data (ORNISS certificates), Monica Macovei replied that her being a Minister does not need this, and Dan Tapalagă has not given any reply.

The Minister and the attendant stood in the archive until 2 o&rsquo;clock at night. 

It has not been requested by SIPA any kind of classified document.

It was, however, taken the register of entries and dispatches of secret documents and top secret documents, which means reported persons names, very succinctly, where they originated and where it occurred (what beneficiaries have been).

At departure (the two n.n.) have taken this register of entries and dispatches that was returned to SIPA, once Prosecutor Dobocan took over as director of the service. (...)

It is a document that I received a few days ago, after Evenimentul zilei has published the Commission Report from 2008 that indicated serious problems in the management of top secret documents from the SIPA archive by the team Macovei.

After reading this fragment of the handwritten note of a former officer SIPA, which ended up in our possession, several frequently-asked questions came up. At the same time, are cleared some aspects regarding the mat of lies that accompanied the manner in which were handled secret documents from the SIPA archive. Let&#039;s take them one at a time.

Monica Macovei is appointed Minister of Justice in December 29, 2004, and immediately after the holidays, 5-6 January 2005, she takes the first strange measures: sealed three important offices, including the classified documents one. It is the first time when it is spoken about the fact that Monica Macovei, from taking the mandate, has as a first direction of action securing top secret documents.

The next day, on 6-7 January 2005,...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/macovei-and-tapalaga-entered-the-first-time-in-sipa-archive-in-j.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[At the hearings of the Special Commission that investigated presidential elections from 2009, head of STS, Marcel Opriș, said that his institution would not have been asked to get involved in other elections, if there had been "real problems" at those from 2009.

Vasile Blaga did not wish to comment on the revelations of Dan Andronic, and Catalin Predoiu stated that he had never worked with SIE and STS, when he was the interim at MAE.

General Marcel Opriș also said he sees no sense to which it would be appealed to the STS during the national referendum in 2012, 2014 presidential elections or locales elections from 2016, if the institution wouldn&#039;t have done its job effectively and correctly. &quot;All the documents produced have been verified and submitted to BEC.&nbsp; There were also decisions dedicated to BEC.&nbsp; It is true that by then the data collected were not made public, station by station. At the end, there was also issued a White Paper on the electoral process that has been submitted to the Parliament of Romania.&nbsp; I have here some quotes. I don&#039;t remember that in this White Paper to have been any word that imputed STS something in relation to elections in 2009. If it had been real problems related to the establishment in 2009, I don&#039;t think that the institution would have been invited to participate in other elections, and there have been enough, &quot;explained Opriș. &quot;STS is a technical service, not intelligence&quot; Asked at the hearing if he got in touch with Gabriel Oprea, Florian Coldea, Laura Codruta Kovesi, Traian Băsescu or George Maior, the night when the results were published, Opriș replied: &quot;I&#039;ve never had discussions with them (-n. r. ). At 01.30 I went to bed and slept in the election night. I had enough work. &quot;He also stated that he coordinated then aspects of telecommunications and held to make the distinction between the STS and other services. &rdquo;STS is a technical service, not one of intelligence, even though it has military status. We take care of the communications. In Romania, like other countries, those dealing with communications, also deal with the elections&quot; explained Opriș. &nbsp;

Blaga did not want to comment on Andronic&#039;s revelations.

The former Minister of Internals who was suspended at the time of the presidential from 2009, Vasile Blaga, did not want to comment on Dan Andronic disclosures, that he had received a phone call from Basescu in the evening when the election results were presented, around 20.00 o&#039;clock. &quot;I have nothing to comment. No one could know. We gave the equal exit polls at 21.00. We were never wrong. We worked at the hundredth with CSOP. And so it was in the country, equal. The Exit polls was in Romania, those from abroad were not asked. But at around 19.00, 19.30 they were confident&quot; said Blaga.

Coffee with Videanu and Berceanu

Asked, in the context of the hearing, by PMP Deputy, Robert Turcescu, what happened in his visit to the headquarters of the Ministry of Internals, the day after the election, Blaga replied: &quot;I have strictly complied with the decisions of the Court of appeal in Bucharest. There were presidential elections, so obviously I&#039;ve delegated the powers to the State Secretaries. I have been the suspended Minister of Internals, so I could have very well been sitting in my office, I came, read the newspaper and there was no problem. I entered the Ministry of Internals the day after the elections; I congratulated the Ministry for the way the elections were organized. Obviously I drank coffee with two Ministers, with Mr. Berceanu and Mr. Videanu. It is my right to invite any colleague from Government to the Ministry.&rdquo;

He also said to the Special Commission that he learned from the press about the meeting in Gabriel Oprea&#039;s home on election night, but does not consider that the persons present had how to influence the outcome of elections. Blaga added that he was not the head of the campaign, but Gheorghe Flutur, former senator PDL.

Predoiu: &quot;SIE and STS have not even given us coffee&quot;

Former interim Minister of Externals, Catalin Predoiu, told the members of the Commission of inquiry that he had not been informed of any collaboration between MAE and SIE or STS in presidential period from 2009. &quot;I have not been informed in any moment of such institutional cooperation. I do not want to be misunderstood.&nbsp; Sure the Minister of Externals receives information from SIE or STS, but nothing came to me in the presidential election period. There has been no political interference, neither institutional in this group. We haven&#039;t even get coffee, if you want to know&quot; said Predoiu.

Without cross-party agreements

Asked if there was any cross-party understanding, Predoiu replied: &quot;I wasn&#039;t a party member back then, and I didn&#039;t want to be any suspicion, nor as Foreign Minister or as ...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/director-of-the-sts-i-haven-t-had-talks-with-oprea-kovesi-basesc.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[At Radio România Actualități, the judge stated that he entered the SIPA Archive not sooner than 2007. According to a Government ruling initiated by Macovei, the archive had to be listed and handed over until May 2006.

On Friday night, judge Cristi Danileţ surprised by a posting on Facebook personal page in which he criticized a show at national radio. &quot;Today I only gave two interviews about SIPA: one at RFI, professional; another of the RRA, that made me shout at them for the stupidities spoken&quot; wrote Danileţ.&nbsp; But what made the person who was part of the first two committees for inventorying the SIPA archive so mad. In his remarks on Radio Romania Actualitati, the judge was asked by Georgiana Iorgulescu, director of the Center for legal resources, and by Alexandra Andon, the filmmaker, when he first entered in the archive of SIPA. He replied that in 2007.

Inventory of the archive had to be completed in 3 months

The problem is that the Government decision from 26 January 2006, by which was established the abolition of the Directorate-General for Anti-corruption Protection (DGPA), former SIPA, had a 90 days term as a Committee formed and appointed by Minister Monica Macovei to make the inventory of the famous archive. &quot;Within the period prescribed by article 1, the entire heritage of the General Directorate for protection Anti-corruption will be inventoried by a Commission named by order of the Minister of Justice and handed over based on a protocol to the National Administration of penitentiaries&quot;, was written in the Government decision.&nbsp; Paragraph 1, establishing the term for archiving, was the one in which it was established how long it will take to disband DGPA: &quot;within 90 days from the entry date of this judgment, General Directorate for Protection Anti-corruption, which operates under the Ministry of Justice by the governmental decision no. 637/2004 regarding the functioning and powers of the General Directorate for Protection Anti-corruption from the subordination of the Ministry of Justice, shall be abolished&quot;.

The decision was published in the Official Monitor on February 9 2006, so in May the Commission ought to complete the inventory.&nbsp; Danileţ admits that he&#039;s not even entered into the archive in 2006, but only in 2007, when Monica Macovei appointed a second Commission, thus going against the Government ruling from January 2006.

They had the obligation to establish the institutions the dossiers must go to

In the same&nbsp; Government ruling is determined that: &quot;In the same period, archives and documents in the work, belonging to the General Directorate for Protection Anti-corruption, will be inventoried and taken over by a special Commission, established by order of the Minister of Justice. The Commission referred to in paragraph 3 will hand over, according to the order of the Minister of Justice, with the assent of the Supreme Council of Defense, the archives and documents taken, to the National Archives, the institutions of the Defense system, national security and public order, through protocols concluded between these institutions and the Ministry of Justice&quot;. According to the report Chiuariu - Predoiu those from the committees set up by Macovei have not compiled any reports regarding the destination of the archive, breaking another application from the Government ruling from January 2006.

The dialogue through which Danileţ admits that hasn&#039;t fulfilled his duties

Georgiana Iorgulescu: Judge Danileţ, you entered in 2006 or in 2007?

Cristi Danileţ: In 2007

G.I.: In 2006 you have not entered at all?

C.D.: From June 2006 to January 2007 no one entered.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

G.I.: Well, and in 2006? How was the inventory done in 2006 if no one entered there?

C.D.: Not by physical contact with the archive, only on the basis of documents supplied by the service.

Iohannis says that the SIPA archive is still at the Ministry of Justice

President Klaus Iohannis commented yesterday on the proposal made by Minister Tudorel Toader, who announced on Saturday that he will promote a Government decision for declassification of information related to SIPA archive. &quot;I didn&#039;t have any discussion with the Minister of Justice. SIPA was at the Ministry of Justice. It is still there. CSAT has nothing to do with it. It&#039;s not the President&#039;s job&quot; said the President. He explained that the Minister of Justice must do something to enlighten the situation of the archive. &quot;I am confident that the Minister and the Ministry of Justice will know what to do in order to enlighten the issue. If there will be a formal proposal, I&#039;ll see what point of view I&#039;ll take&quot; said Iohannis. Remember that Toader has also announced the establishment of a new committee to examine the famous archive.

Even if she refused for the second time to attend the hearings, former President of the Permanent Electoral Authority (PEA), Ana Maria Pătru, sent&nbsp; a letter yesterday to the members of the Commission of inquiry of the 2009 elections, formed after the disclosures made by Dan Andronic in EVZ series &quot;We Are the State&quot;.&nbsp; She told parliamentarians that it is suspicious that&nbsp; Siveco, company controlled by Irina Socol, &quot;close to the former leadership of SRI&quot; won all auctions concerning counting software and data transmission to the Election Authority.

In the letter addressed to the Commission, Pătru asked the &quot;untangle of how SIVECO, single or in consortia, wins these auctions for counting votes software and data transmission, even if they are open through SEAP system. In the context of multiple press articles suggesting this, would be useful to clear if somehow, in accordance with law 14/1992, exists or there was until recently an interest at the level of certain institutions for this company to handle this process essential in a democracy.

If this cannot be determined by the current Commission, it might be useful a separate parliamentary approach in this regard. Intuition and friendship that linked me to Irina Socol starting with 2009 tells me that the things discovered could be the subject of SRI parliamentary control Commission, because there&#039;s reasonable suspicion that she would have been a part of or closed to the former leadership of Romanian Intelligence Service.
&quot;In the present context, I consider that my friendship, started from the initiative of Irina Socol in 2009, was not at all coincidental, being the fruit of an operative action&quot;, writes in the document obtained exclusively by EVZ.

&quot;I was not in Oprea&#039;s living room&quot;

Pătru noted that she never met in an environment other than institutional, formal, with the former head of the SRI, George Maior, head of DNA Laura Codruta Kovesi and Prime Deputy of SRI, Florian Coldea, nominated by journalist Dan Andronic as being present in 2009 election night in Oprea&#039;s living room. &quot;I haven&#039;t communicated by phone or otherwise with anyone in that group in the evening of second tour&quot;, she said.

Ana Maria Pătru has stated that in 2009, when she was Vice President of PEA, head of the institution was Octavian Opriș, &quot;proposed and supported by PSD and who was close to the leader of PSD, Viorel Hrebenciuc chief of campaign for candidate Mircea Geoana&quot;.

Pătru, who was arrested before, said that she decided not to be present at the hearings at the request of her child, who would have said: &quot;I don&#039;t want you to be taken again!&quot;

Ana Maria Pătru took bribes of 275.000 euros

Ana Maria Pătru, Chairman of the Permanent Electoral Authority, has been retained by DNA Ploieşti on November 16, 2016. The previous morning, prosecutors also did searches at PEA, and domiciliary searches. Her husband attempted to run with the documents, but was caught and prevented by policemen.

Five offences

DNA accused the head of PEA of three offences of traffic of influence and two offences of money-laundering: &quot;during the period April-June 2008, suspect Pătru Ana Maria, as Vice President of the Permanent Electoral Authority- Secretary of State rank, claimed and in 2009 she received from representatives of a commercial company, the sum of 210.000 euros representing the counterpart of a certain property located in Bucharest (...)In the year 2011, also as Vice-President of the PEA, the suspect Ana Maria Pătru, claimed from representatives of the same company the exchange value of one Land Rover vehicle from which she received the sum of 15.000 euros (...) In the year 2011, also as Vice-President of PEA, the suspect Pătru Ana Maria claimed and received the sum of 50.000 euros from the administrator of another company, intervening in exchange at the Economy Minister&quot;.

She admitted all

Ana Maria Pătru acknowledged at DNA that she had received bribes of 275.000 euros. Most of the sum was given by Siveco, society that scroll several contracts with PEA. &quot;I admit all the facts that have been incorporated in my charge&quot;, wrote Ana Maria Pătru in the statement, given on 13 December 2016.

DNA Prosecutors have asked judges the seizure of 275.000 euros and foreclosed multiple assets, to recover the money. The former head of PEA was arrested in this case about a month, and on 30 December 2016 was sent to court in house arrest.

&quot;A gift, not a conditioning&quot;

Irina Socol, the owner of Siveco, is the one who confirmed for DNA Ana Maria Pătru&#039;s offences. Socol, who was already convicted in a dossier and had multiple pending, would h...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/former-aep-head-accuses-sri-s-involvement-in-the-presidential-el.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[The 15th episode of the series „We Are the State!”, who had the title „SIPA Archive had over 3.000 dossiers about judges and prosecutors - An explosive report revealing how compromising documents disappeared and were copied”, which ended with a promise that seem somehow hazardous.

Through it we announced readers that we&#039;ll try to show them what happened with this report and where documents are. After the series, which invoked the document, more and more journalists and politicians demanded the declassification of the report and its entry at the disposal of the press.

A gesture imposed by the exigence of the democratic transparency and the suspicion that the Parallel State has intervened. Seeing the extraordinary pressure of public opinion, we were convinced that either the Minister of Justice or the CSAT will decide the report&#039;s declassification. That did not happen. And then we decided to get the report ourselves, by means typical to media, capable of anything in order to find out the truth.

Once we entered in possession of the document, we found ourselves facing an unforeseen problem. The report was annotated with the &quot;Secret of Service&quot;. Do we publish it or not? We had to take an immediate decision. Dan Andronic, Director and majority shareholder of the newspaper, was away for a few days out of the country. The man with better experience than ours in such situations is Ion Cristoiu. Evenimentul under his leadership, at which many of us have worked, was specialized in publishing documents removed from closed safes. The newspaper also had a column of great interest, among the readers: &quot;I got my hand on...&quot;.&nbsp; And then the document was just reproduced simply, without comment.

I sent a message to Dan Andronic by telephone that we have something very strong to publish, but we also have some fears and that&#039;s why we decided that the last word would have Mr. Cristoiu.&nbsp; Tuesday evening, in the famous yard of the Academy Library, Ion Cristoiu has shattered any concern. After quickly getting through a few pages of the Document, he said: &quot;That&#039;s a press blow! It&#039;s a service secret? I&#039;d publish it even if it were a State secret. A secret that reached the press, be it a planetary secret, is no longer a secret!&quot;

As a result, what you read in this editorial is the editorial decision of four journalists who have undertaken to publish a secret document in the name of truth for which the press must do anything.

Simona Ionescu, Ion Cristoiu, Mirel Curea and Dan Andronic

The Secret Report confirms the article from May 17, 2017, entitled &quot;SIPA Archive had over 3.000 dossiers about judges and prosecutors-An explosive report revealing how compromising documents disappeared and were copied| &quot;WE ARE THE STATE!&quot; (XV)

To enhance the understanding of the seriousness of those contained in the Report, we retake the relevant parts in Dan Andronic&#039;s article from May 17, about the SIPA Archive and what happened there. In addition to the testimonies obtained from direct sources and recorded in his article, what is written in the Report is a smashing confirmation of his sayings.

The Binomial SRI-DNA would not have functioned so effectively if it wouldn&#039;t have a third element, essential for &quot;streamlining&quot; the journey of the dossiers considered a priority by the System, or the so-called target dossiers. When I use this term I refer to the fact that, after many scandals related to the involvement of SRI in the Act of Justice and a statement of General Dumitru Dumbrava, the aria of cooperation of judges with information officers was restricted, but still important folders are tracked, or as I used to say, TARGET DOSSIERS.

Business beginnings are hidden, for the period immediately after 1989, in the SIPA Archive. SIPA Archive is a ghost of the past, used by politicians, information services and other interested parties to get what they want from Justice. It must be said that information gathered by SIPA officers, about 40 percent of them coming from the former Security forces, were extremely interesting, being about intercepts of discussions in prison cells, the criminal charges of some inmates, either direct or indirect, either by provocateurs.

We are also talking about intelligence officers and insidious among inmates, about interceptions and recordings of telephone calls of some judges and prosecutors. At present, the network&#039;s informative notes from prisons are kept, being taken over by the new structure under the National Administration of Penitentiaries, i.e. the Directorate-General for Protection and Anti-corruption (DGPA).

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[Laura Codruța Kovesi reached the performance of lying her own supporters in Brussels. She said, in answering a question asked by the journalist Mirel Curea, that SRI officers had only a technical role in the DNA investigations.

However, she is contradicted by two reports of SRI of 2008 and 2013, which clearly state that the officers were actually parts of the mixed investigation teams.

Brussels, October 17th, a secondary hall of European Parliament. Head of DNA, Laura Codruța Kovesi, is attending a conference organized by two Members of European Parliament, who have no connection with the Justice, and the meeting is intended to launder her image affected by the latest scandals in her home country.

The start of the debates was not quite pleasant for Kovesi: she found out that two journalists were in front of her, Mirel Curea and Răzvan Savaliuc, who asked troublesome questions, which she denied answering.&nbsp;Now she will have to. The eyes of Europeans are watching her. Even if she avoids the clear answers to the questions asked, one of them makes her lie. Mirel Curea, senior editor-in-chief of EVZ asks her how she would explain the breach of the country&rsquo;s Constitution by the establishment of the mixed investigating teams with SRI officers, who&rsquo;s duties do not include any roles of investigators, as provided by Romanian law.

Kovesi answers, in a little bit hoarse voice: SRI officers only provided technical assistance in the instrumentation of some files, in monitoring some of the suspects by using the equipment of their institution, so they were not actually involved in the management of any criminal files.&nbsp;The answer seems quite accurate for the Europeans; however, it causes anger among Romanians. The Romanians in the room know that Kovesi lied.

SRI contradicts Kovesi&nbsp;

The lie of Laura Codruța Kovesi is proved by SRI themselves.&nbsp;In their activity reports for the years 2008 and 2013, as published by EVZ as an episode of the series &bdquo;We Are the State!&rdquo;, released on April 3rd, 2017, SRI managers admit that their own officers were parts of the investigation teams.

&bdquo;The participation within the mixed operational teams established together with the prosecution offices, in joint analyses with the prosecutors&rdquo;, is written in the activity report of SRI for 2008.&nbsp;Actually, the management of the main secret service of the country admits that their officers had not just a purely technical role, as they analysed the criminal files together with the prosecutors. In the 2013 report, SRI is more than clear by stating that &bdquo;the juridical experts of SRI are involved, meaning that the joint analyses are not only limited to aspects of material law, but they also extended to procedural matters&rdquo;. In fact, SRI involved their lawyers in matters of criminal procedures, not only their technical staff specialized in intercepting and monitoring some suspects. Which Kovesi denied in Brussels...&nbsp;

							<description><![CDATA[]]></description>
							<content:encoded><![CDATA[During the day of yesterday I published in the on-line edition of Evenimentul Zilei a material in which I demonstrated that the relationship between SRI (The Romanian Intelligence Service) and the Public Ministry is not an invention of certain journalists with fevered minds, but it is an institutional reality. Furthermore, it is defined as a BINOMIAL. I repeat, in an official document of SRI.

I was saying, as most of you know, that the Binomial SRI &ndash; DNA (The Anti-Corruption Directorate) is a phrase which we can find in our daily conversations and about which we have the impression that it is consecrated by Ion Cristoiu. The oldest reference which I found in one of his newspapers columns is from February 2015. It has connection with an intervention of Traian Basescu within the Congress of PMP in which, says Ion Cristoiu, the former president of Romania defended the Binomial SRI-DNA as regards the accusations of Elena Udrea.

About here would be the beginning of the story which marks Romania&rsquo;s history in the latest years. .

The problem is that reality is totally different!

Ion Cristoiu did not invent the phrase &ldquo;SRI-DNA Binomial&rdquo;, he only consecrated it in the consciousness of the public opinion. The opponents of the Master could even accuse him of plagiarism, only that they have not known until now that this phrase appears in official documents of the Romanian State. They are not classified, they only had to be re-read with the mind and information we have now.

THE SRI-DNA BINOMIAL has existed for a long time, in fact, I did not suspect since when, only that it was much more comprising, being presented in official documents. What documents is it about? It is about the Activity Reports of SRI since 2044 until now, which I was stubborn enough to read for half a day. To be honest, I was looking for something else, but I remained mortified when I found written in black-and-white what I was sustaining for months and we were told that it was not true! Not to keep you waiting any longer, here is a significant quotation from the Activity Report of SRI for the year 2013:

&ldquo;The main cooperation activities were achieved on the relation with the Public Ministry, the Ministry of Internal Affiars, the External Intelligence Service, the Ministry of National Defence, the Protection and Gu8ard Service and the Ministry of Justice. The institutional Binomial the Public Ministry &ndash; SRI also functioned in 2013 in optimal parameters, fact reflected in the dynamics of the results both from the persoective of knowledge, prevetion and combating of menaces to the national security, and from the point of view of the criminal instruction&rdquo;. .


&nbsp;

Stop! What do I mean by INSTITUTIONAL BINOMIAL? Thus, in 2013 existed a cooperation at the institutional level between SRI and the General Prosecution Office, DIICOT and DNA, the institutions which are reunited under the name of the Public Ministry, which are also reflected in the PLAN OF CRIMINAL INSTRUCTION? Meaning in indictments, evidence, criminal files, cases in court; Do we not begin to see m,ore clraly the statement of the SRI general Dumitru Dumbrava who was telling us how SRI pursuits a file from the stage of instrumentation to conviction? They had all the means, did they not? Furthermore, the BINOMIAL functioned in optimal parameters in 2013 as well as in 2012.

Well, as if something like that had never existed &hellip;

Ion Cristoiu must be very disappointed. He will disappear from the history books the category of authors, because the term SRI-DNA BINOMIAL must be put under the signature of the anonymous author of the Activity Report of SRI for the year 2013.

Only do not believe that things stop here, the careful investigation of all the SRI reports brings to light incredible details. !

In the SRI Report of the year 2008 it is written black-on-white:

&ldquo;The contribution brought to the Service to the fulfilment of the responsibility of the bodies of investigation and criminal pursuit was materialized in&rdquo;:

- putting at the disposal of the bodies of the Public Ministry of certain gross data and informationwhich were at the basis of the intimations/information of SRI ;

							<content:encoded><![CDATA[You're a covered officer at SRI! Or SIE or the Army. The press has numerous problems. Most are economic, but from some point they become credibility problems.

And the most common insult which circulates among journalists is that of covered officer of an information service. I want to say from the start that the role of this material is to reveal a mechanism, not to uncover the identity of these. Given the fact that you are going to understand that things are much more complicated. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 

Covered journalists at SRI, SIE or the Army. After several interviews with former intelligence officers I have completed an array of relations of this type. 

The documentation has been completed by press analyses and information provided by people in the mass-media with access in these areas. The bottom line is that there are fully conspired information officers in the press. Only that the number is much lower than one imagines, other forms of cooperation being used, much less compromising. I want to be clear: there are fully conspired officers in the media, but not so many as one imagines.

There are other methods to influence, either directly or through service in the blind, i.e. through the supply of data and information, without revealing the true source. Often these journalists are mentioned as sources or collaborators, the term informant being too harsh and as such avoided by information officers.

Collaboration between intelligence and some journalists are based more on promoting certain interests, being channeled on certain areas, especially politics, justice and external relations.

In addition to classical actors, SRI, SIE and DGIA, three other services acted strongly in the media area: DNA, DGIPI and SPP.&nbsp; It may seem surprising, but the latter&#039;s relations with members of the press have a much more conspirator character than the classical ones.

We have experienced over the last few weeks various reactions of the System through representatives from the virtual environment and the media.

Everything started from the SIPA ARCHIVE, in my opinion, an important vulnerability of Binomial, the first real reveal of how the power of SRI-DNA extended on the judges.

Attacks, quite timid at first, became extremely violent, which determined me to write this material. Because we see once again how the Network is reactivated.

Because clearly it is not just a fantasy, but we&#039;re talking about a reality, because from SRI and SIE, to the General Directorate of Information of the Army, passing through DIPI, all intelligence services have always recruited journalists as covered officers, or used them to influence public opinion.

A project that I have for some time and which involves studying the archives of the former Security shows me that there&#039;s nothing new under the Sun. Names of well-known journalists were used by Ceaușescu&#039;s Security. One thing that has certainly not changed at all after 1989. Services require this, but problems arise when journalists with shoulder boards are used for purposes other than those related to national security. And the facts and events that I have uncovered in the course of the series, &quot;We are the State!&quot; shows us a completely different size of the construction.

In an interview with the SRI Director, from 2015, we obtained the following explanation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dan Andronic: From this perspective haw are you standing with officers covered in the media?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; George Maior: The same as all democratic European states.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D.A.: So, well.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; George Maior: The same as all democratic European States. The covered Officer is a special dimension, a special weapon of any intelligence service; his job is that by using this quality to bring national security information for the State.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D.A.: And we&#039;ll ever learn their identity?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; G.M: That is the idea that we won&#039;t! That&#039;s why we are talking about covered officers and State information.

A standard response, of which everyone understands whatever they want.

We claimed then that there seems to be nothing abnormal for intelligence officers to have covered officers in the press,

&ldquo;that the presence of covered officers in the press is part of the services job and I don&#039;t think there is any problem. I, personally, consider that in services we have very good professionals, but I don&#039;t think we need to tell them how to do their job &quot;.

It is right that the converse should be valid...

The attack at SRI or SIE on this subject is counter...]]></content:encoded><enclosure url="https://evz.ro/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sri-sie-army-and-the-internal-affairs-infiltrated-in-the-press-w.jpg" length="1024" type="image/jpeg" />
