Basescu is regaining his autocratic rule that was weakened by the - TopicsExpress

Basescu is regaining his autocratic rule that was weakened by the last year’s referendum in which 87% voted in favour of his impeachment. Only a tyrant can so openly defy the people’s will (7.4m of 8.4m Romanians voted for his impeachment) and return to office. The sweeping majority vote for the impeachment of the suspended Basescu was quite simply rendered null and void by the Constitutional Court - one of the institutions that is under his direct control. Actually, this is the dream of any autocrat leader: to replace the people’s will with his own and to disenchant citizens who start to believe there is no point in manifesting their opinions since their vote won’t count and their opinion doesn’t matter and their freedom doesn’t really exist. Basescu also rallied the support of his allies across the Atlantic. The United States Ambassador in Bucharest, Mark Gitenstein, for instance, is viewed as an unequivocal supporter of Basescu. In an unprecedented intervention from an American diplomat in the past decade, Ambassador Gitenstein spoke out against the referendum. He said he is “deeply concerned about any attempt to threaten the independence of democratic institutions”. It should also be noted that Ambassador Gitenstein, strangely enough, also serves on the board of Romania’s Property Fund. As regards the emissaries sent from Washington to publicly support Basescu, they readily and without any hesitation embraced the wildly inflated figures presented in relation to an imaginary election fraud. They presented these alleged figures as facts even though it has been one year since the referendum and no one has been able to find any hard evidence of some two million votes against Basescu’s impeachment. This can only be described as a deliberate attempt on the part of Washington and Brussels to misinform the public. A scandalous theory was even invented as regards the intention of the new government to… arrest some of the judges of the Constitutional Court. The truth was either hidden from the European political elite or the reality distorted: Basescu and his few supporters communicated to Brussels and Washington false information that Romania’s Constitution makes no mention to any impeachment procedure, accrediting their thesis of a coup d’etat.
