Open Letter to the President of Romania

Your Excellency, I write to you as a simple citizen, because I want to bring to your attention a situation which I consider to be serious and likely to affect the image and functionality of the important institution that you represent.

Your Excellency,
I write to you as a simple citizen, because I want to bring to your attention a situation which I consider to be serious and likely to affect the image and functionality of the important institution that you represent.

I don’t know you and you don’t know me, but the good sense and the Constitution of the country make me think you exist and try to meet your obligations as correctly as possible. That is why I have to inform you that, in the recent years, a certain person called Traian Băsescu, has been living in the Cotroceni Palace. He is a character who asserts publicly that he is the head of state, although it is obvious that all the things he does do not recommend him as one.

Citizen Basescu has not read the Constitution or, if he read it, he did not understand it or, if he has, he does not to care about it. So he pretends to be you, he appears in public as the president of a party, attacks the representatives of other parties, gives orders to the National Anti-corruption Directorate, makes faces to the few visitors that pass through the Cotroceni Park to get to you, travels around the country using the people’s money and your name. In addition, the respective writes to the Parliament not only to set its priorities, but also to tell them what and how to vote.

Since the fundamental law defines the President as an element of balance and equidistant mediation inside the political system, you realize without doubt that such attitudes, which appear endlessly, are likely to seriously affect your credibility.

However, the situation I refer to is not only about the elements I signaled. Citizen Basescu has attitudes and gestures that bring into question the morality, the attire and the balance of the President himself, as a person. He steals phones, insults journalists, has discriminatory attitudes against women or against national minorities, he takes part in the after-game parties of his favorite football teams, after which he drives, he causes car accidents and dances with the fiddlers in the restaurants throughout the entire summer.

I say all these things because I am sure you haven’t had time to notice them. I know that you are busy with exercising your legal attributions. With the management of the issues related to foreign policy and national security. Due to these things, you have not been able to meet Traian Băsescu, because he does not deal with this kind of things.
Therefore, please, Mr. President, verify my allegations and take those measures that you consider appropriate for the institution you represent.

Regards, yours,
Adrian Nastase
