The CP leader, Dan Voiculescu received the document that makes the CNSAS verdict official. Now, the Conservatory Party doesnât have any reason to delay the decision of leaving the Government. Mondayâs National Bureau Assembly decided for the convocation of the National Council in order to take a final decision. This is what made all the media think of a delay. It would be a disaster. For Dan Voiculescu, obviously. The CP leader often said, before the CNSAS assembly, that all of this is politically based and that if the final verdict is "informer of the Political Police", his party will leave the Government.
Many people believed him. Because:
1. CP is seen as the party of a person, Dan Voiculescu. If they remain in the Government, no one will believe that Dan Voiculescu took this decision under the pressure of the other leaders of the party. Everyone will be convinced that Dan Voiculescu proceeded in such a way that the responsibility of the decision will get to other party members.
Judging by the statements of several leaders of the CP subsidiaries and by the behavior of certain central leaders, a sincere tendency of not leaving the Coalition appears. Many important members see the leaving of the Government as an unwanted giving up on more privileges, like the one of stealing as much as they can. However, in politics, the image is very important. The CP image provides that this is the party of only one person, and no one will believe that Dan Voiculescu has been forced by the others to remain in the Government.
2. Dan Voiculescu transformed the CNSAS (the National Council for the Study of the State Archives) verdict into a fate thing. The CP electorate doesnât care if Dan Voiculescu was or not a member of the Political Police. The public image of Dan Voiculescu, after 16 years of political and media campaigns, shows him as a former Security officer. The votes the party received in time have been based on other things than his past. From certain unknown reasons, Dan Voiculesvu made this thing regarding the accusations of certain journalists into a dead end. He contradicted them publicly. He sent the authors to Court. Even now, when he is the one that got the CNSAS going, he denied it all the time, before and after the verdict, and, sometimes, he went a little too far.
Remaining in the Government in the given circumstances means a fatal hit against the image for which Dan Voiculescu worked hard. He is seen as a person capable of anything when his dignity is attacked.
The CNSAS verdict doesnât have any repercussions for the electoral plan of Dan Voiculescu.
However, this verdict becomes final only after the decision of the Appeal Court.
Remaining in the Government would have disastrous consequences. Dan Voiculescu would appear as a man with no principles, willing to be humiliated as much as it takes in order to have a little piece of the Power.
Of course, if CP remains in the Government, Dan Voiculescu can find millions of ways to justify it, and the most important one would be the often-mentioned sacrifice for the political stability.
Anyway, one mountain of crossed words cannot replace an old saying of Tacit: "Better die standing, than live on your knees".
