In fact, who’s the suspended one?
Last Thursday, president Băsescu was suspended. So, next month, we’ll have a referendum. It is obvious that the population will not follow Parliament’s decision and it will vote massively in favour of the President. There is no doubt about that. Then, I wonder if the Parliament has anymore rightfulness, since its decisions won’t follow the population’s desires?! You got that one right. None. Null. We’re gonna have a visionary Parliament, which will not represent the majority will. Following the logical string, we may find out that, by its decision of suspending the President, the Parliament has practically signed its own disbandment act. It may appear as a doubtful situation while, in fact, it all goes by the rules of democracy and constitutional right.
But how was all this situation possible? I don’t want to talk about the reason why the Parliament wanted to eliminate Băsescu from the political scene, instead it is interesting to observe the immaturity of political culture of Romanians. Many of them voted Băsescu as a President but, in the same time, they also voted for other parties, having a disparate point of view in comparison with the President’s one. Therefore an escape-less situation has born, in which the lack of political instruction of the population played a major role. So, the president is now sustained by an insignificant political minority while he’s having rather huge population support.
