70% of Romanians believe that the law is NOT applied equally to all citizens.
75% consider that the success of some is the result of a corrupt or unfair system.
50% say that the main problem of Romania is corruption, which amplifies injustices in society.
75% believe that those who succeed in Romania are not necessarily the most capable, but the most connected.
70% appreciate that the system in Romania is built in such a way that it keeps you in place.
60% feel that others have been unfairly helped while they have been ignored.
70% say that the state bears a large part of the blame for their current situation.
It is a catastrophic perception, a huge fire that now, on the brink of winter, is being fueled by a pipeline. A political pipeline through which what Romanians perceive as unacceptable privileges represented in the form of state jobs for those with connections and their families, in the form of oversized pensions and salaries in relation to the country's level of tolerance, in the form of political clientelism arrangements, flows.
It is not my specialty to discuss the legality of the CCR's decisions or the content of the applicable norms for reducing the number of employees in the administration. I do not understand them and do not comment on their legal essence. I suspect that various decisions of the legal authorities are legally and constitutionally correct.
However, I raise the issue of the effects on society. And the consequences could become uncontrollable. An eventual social explosion will raise a huge wave of hatred in the population that will be easily led by any ultra-radical hostile actor who wishes to strategically undermine Romania, destroy the democratic regime, and even take control of the country. For now, the troubadour politician seems to be happily sending soldiers to the garrison just when the hybrid war is about to become harsher than ever.
We could be hit, much faster than we imagine, by a historical storm from which a Georgescu or a Simion will seem to us mere trial balloons launched by some at Russian roulette or in the local political dice game.
May God help me, may the storm detected by the alert instruments lose its intensity, and may the fire not become a blaze. Lord help us…
P.S. The elections in Bucharest, which will take place in just 45 days, can turn from a major test of democratic resilience into the unfortunate lightning rod of a violent storm in society that will benefit the most radical among the radicals.
