During a press conference at the Hilton Hotel, Mona Musca, Theodor Stolojan and Valeriu Stoica have read a document entitled "Appeal for the Unity and Rebirth of NLP". The fact that these VIPs, who have more political honors than the Soviet Generals have medals, fought with such heat on a Monday, the most crabbed day of the week, in this Bucharest destroyed by the endless asphalt works, that they have rented a room to read loud and clear a text, means something serious has happened.
Something so serious that the three, Mona Musca, Theodor Stolojan and Valeriu Stoica, who have fought on separate fronts against the present leading board of NLP (the National Liberal Party) until now, have united to sound the alarm. A legendary alarm called Vasile Roaita.
Could the alarm of the three Roaita have been sound for the support of Traian Basescu, but not for the one of revolted liberals in the country?
However, during the past few days, the public opinion has not met with any event, which could have been taken as the spark to start the "Appeal for the Unity and Rebirth of NLP" fire.
Calin Popescu Tariceanu hasnât committed any major errors during these past few days. I am referring here to those major errors with serious consequences for the public opinion, which would justify the measure of the NLP members, who would be afraid of the consequences on the NLP electorate.
There is one exception, a few words said by Tariceanu about Cristian Boureanu, but it is a little exception. So, what is the source of this need to step in front and make the emergency call for the party and for the country? I also find as meaningless the nine questions the present leading board is asked to answer to until the first week of September. If NLP and the country are on the edge, the deadline should have been a lot sooner.
Well, if, according to the sayings of the three, they have done this because NLP is one-step away from tearing apart, setting the deadline one month and a half from now equals to irresponsibility, or even to crime!
The journalists have seen the press conference on Monday, the 17th of July 2006, as an ultimatum. The ultimatum is defined by a specific request. For example: you should move your car away from my spot by tomorrow at noon, otherwise I will set it on fire! Now, all the neighbors will sit by their windows and watch whether the person that received the ultimatum moves the car or not.
The Appeal of the three NLP members does not have any of these characteristics. The things they demand from the NLP leading board are an enumeration of colorless generalities, of mediocre clichés: the recursion to the electorate, the keeping of the electoral promises. They could have phrased this and send it to the SDP (the Social Democratic Party) leading board as well.
The strangeness of the Monday press conference make us believe that the authors, or should I say the Author, wanted something else than the nine propositions in the Appeal.
What did they really want?
This is a question the answer of which will be found out only after weâll see the consequence of the events.
We shall wait and see!
