PSD Senator from Arad Mihai Fifor, former interim Minister of Interior, stated that the assassination of businessman Ioan Crişan, in broad daylight, “raises huge questions about the safety of the citizen.” Fifor considers that he must fight “really” with organized crime, and states that reforms are needed in the Ministry of Interior. “Arad is a complicated city in terms of cross-border crime,” the former minister added.
“I waited for the terrible emotion of yesterday to pass, a day in which I refused any intervention in the media, out of respect for the pain of the Crişan family, in order to address the tragedy that shocked an entire country. A violent crime, a car blown up in broad daylight, on one of the busiest boulevards of Arad, not far from the city center, can only raise huge questions about the safety of the citizen, how I understand to the institutions of the Romanian state are doing their duty “, Mihai Fifor wrote on Facebook on Sunday.
He says there is a need for a “real” fight against organized crime, which he has been talking about since he was interim interior minister. Also, Fifor considers that there is a need for reform in the Ministry of Interior, at the level of all its structures, “until the last hamlet where the Romanian Police arrives”.
“Do you know, for example, that for more than a year and a half, IPJ Arad’s command has been exercised either by power of attorney or by delegation? What authority does a “delegate” in command of the County Police have? What decisions can he make? The reform of the institution, in any case. Arad is a complicated city in terms of cross-border crime. It always was. And it always will be. Trafficking in cigarettes, drugs, live meat, alcohol, illegal migration, all represent terrible challenges for state law enforcement institutions. Which, after yesterday, seem to have been defeated “, Fifor also wrote.
“The people of Arad must know they are safe. And it is the responsibility of all those who lead the local administration and the institutions meant to ensure a safe climate in the city and in the county “, the Social Democrat also stated.
Arad businessman Ioan Crişan died on Saturday, after his car exploded.
