Tudor Chirilă warned that the “belt is tightening”.
- “I came to the protest organized by Corruption Kills and Civic Assistance Galati. There are not many people in the market, but this thing does not bother me (…) It is not important that there are few people in the street, it is important that there are a few more people who realize that a protest creates visibility and sends the message that people do not they are willing to go back to the pre-1989 era. Slowly, the belt tightens. Another judge who is expelled from the judiciary for childish reasons, another journalist like Emilia Şercan who denounces the plagiarism of the prime minister and after that is orchestrated a campaign of compromise and defamation, and another journalist who is fired just in time in which he criticizes the laws of national security. That’s how the strap tightens. There is a Constitutional Court that frees plagiarists “, said Chirilă, according to News.ro.
The artist also referred to President Klaus Iohannis, whom he described as a “villain.”
- “Of course we have a vicious president who disappointed the electorate that voted for him, an electorate that voted for him not because he had any intrinsic value as president, but because he was simply a lesser evil. There is no problem, things are moving forward, I don’t know if they are going in the right direction, I think they are going in the wrong direction “, Tudor Chirilă also declared.
Governing Coalition prepares for rapid approval of new national security laws which civil society accuses of “militarizing the state.”
The projects published in the press are not explicitly assumed by any political actor in power.
President Klaus Iohannis said on Tuesday that it was a major mistake that “someone, and we know who” considered it appropriate to “source” national security bills. Iohannis insisted that there is no cause for concern, because no one wants a restoration of the old Securitate or a restriction of citizens’ rights, and the projects will change when they enter public debate.
