A Hot Summer

MARIUS TUCA

I do not remember having a summer so hot from the political point of view like the one that is to come, in the last years. This is a hot summer, in which the Social Democratic Party (SDP) is already boiling, an essential summer for the elections this autumn. This is going to be a summer that, from the political point of view, is going to be very much alike the weather outside. A summer that will have diverse meteorological events: blast, shower of stones, drift, storms, and events that is highly probable to happen in the political segment of Romania, also.

Adrian Nastase’s (the Prime Minister of Romania) "resignation" has opened the show which, once started does not seem to stop until this autumn, after the SDP Congress. It looks like this "resignation" of Adrian Nastase, which gave him the right to restructure SDP, has not been at all accidental, but a part of a premeditated plan of his. The facts that followed it prove this. The separation of the Government from the SDP board through this Coordinative Bureau is the first step. In fact, besides Cristian Diaconescu, the Minister of Justice, none taking part in this bureau is part of Government. The second step is to happen these days and is about the cabinet reshuffling. It looks like there will be a more substantial reshuffling than the one previously announced.

Therefore, this vacation is to be sacrificed and used as an unofficial electoral campaign. In the two summer months that remained - July and August - and in September the ideas, the teams, and the strategies for the big battle in November are to be prepared. The parties from the opposition seem to have more time for that, because until the end of the Congress SDP will have to take care of the internal problems. These parties will not just stand and wait for the SDP changes but they will probably express their opinions. I believe that these months are going to be decisive for the elections this autumn!
