Where’s SDP?

The abbreviated language used these days transformed the former Government party, the Social Democratic Party, into SDP. Now, I see it has disappeared almost totally. Who would have thought two years ago that the omnipresent and omnipotent SDP will volatilize in such a manner that it would disappear? Where are the SDP members? Seldom statements from Cristian Diaconescu and Titus Corlatean, usually polite ones, because the two have been well educated at home and their parents had sent to schools different from the one of Vanghelie. Nothing more.

I don’t sympathize SDP. Years in a row, I have scribbled the portrait of the state-party and "moustached" the women and the men in this party that wriggled their asses on the political stage. There is one thing that made me think different. I have to say it has been mentioned by a young lady with high sociologic studies at Sorbonne. I didn’t understand the unusual disappearance of this party. Who or what made this party, which seemed to be everywhere, dive so deep in the mud?

I know how the historical NRCDP (the National Rustic Christian Democratic Party) disappeared. I know about the efforts made for putting to silence another party that has its origins deep in the past - NLP (the National Liberal Party). The appearance of the Security infiltrations wasn’t enough. I think there is more than that. What?

A young intelligent politician, who says a lot of crap as well, said something the other day that, together with the statement of the young lady in Sorbonne, can cause shock: 90% of the current parties will disappear. The great wave of disclosures, which shows that there is nothing or no one (except for Traian Basescu) clean in Romania, will annihilate the existing parties and will make room for another power structure. Will Traian Basescu be on top of this structure? This is how it seems.

However, let’s get back to the initial question. How could SDP just disappear? Let’s remember. Furious attacks against the heads. The toughest media campaign against Adrian Nastase. All the regiments of the "boys with pens" strived and obtained what they wanted. SDP hasn’t been hit at the base, but at the head. SDP is gone. At least, this is how it looks like. Behind, there is a whole new generation that waits to get in front. Mister Basescu’s DP (Democratic Party) is climbing discreetly over disclosures, decapitations, and campaigns. The vigorous clover of Mister Videanu, nurtured by the sap and mucilage left behind by the positive Security member Silvian Ionescu, rises on the fields with burnt rustic, liberal and, now, social-democratic thistles. Detail: the party doesn’t breast feed him as much as Traian Basescu does.

The disappearance of the party (and now I’m referring to SDP again) is a complex intelligent operation led by the bright minds in the back. Behind the services that we all see, with shambled and tedious officers, there are probably some other services that not even the most inquisitive journalists manage to discover. Behind the Basescu that is currently taking part in the new "The President, the Family Man" campaign" there are some other invisible Basescus dancing. The puppeteer is himself a puppet. Who is the man in the shadow that leads the nights with black masks long knives in Romania? Who is that person that launches continuously suffocating campaigns that makes the need-full life of the Romanians disappear under the fabulous growth of Prince-Charming Traian Basescu?
