The CNSAS Mocks at Romanians While Using Public Funds

The authority in charge with the files of the former communist intelligence services, or CNSAS, spent a lot of budgetary resources in the past six years to no avail.
It turned into a politically tainted institution, as its top 11 members are political appointees instead of historians, legal experts and representatives of the political prisoners, as they should.

In its current shape and form, the CNSAS behaves contrary to its intended purpose: it does not clarify the past of the current political elite, but provides inside information to some politicians, against others.

But the most damaging thing is that CNSAS issued decisions regarding the involvement with the former Securitate of this or that public person, while not being in possession of all files in the Securitate archives.
Hence, we are faced with a series of provisional "clean bills of health" issued to politicians. Not final ones.

The way to conduct its business would have been for the CNSAS to make no public statement on the former status of the people whose past they investigate.
No statement, that is, until it had the final and comprehensive archives in its possession, on which to draw conclusions.
The only media appearances should have been with the CNSAS asking for the support of the media to put the intelligence services under pressure to hand over to it their archives.

Of course, for the procrastination in hading over the archives to the CNSAS the responsibility rests entirely with the intelligence services.
However, the CNSAS does not do a better job now with not working in silence, but issuing "provisional" certificates, which cannot in fact assess if a person collaborated or not with the Securitate, in the absence of full access to all the files drafted by the communist times intelligence services.
What CNSAS does, in fact, is more like a mockery. On public funds.
