Romanian Securitate council faces closure

Constantin Ticu Dumitrescu, initiator and member of the agency to investigate the Securitate, criticised the EU for its silence regarding the dismantling of the agency in an interview with Laura Balomiri. "The constitutional court annulled the decisions of the agency retroactively, which is not permissible according to any legal norm in the world. Our activities are now completely blocked because they have become very threatening for many politicians and officials in the justice system. ... Now, as we are in command of two million files, they decided that the only way to rescue themselves is to dismantle the agency. Before, they had not dared to pull off anything like that, now they are doing it shamelessly, with Europe's consent. This proves that joining the EU has helped these people, as the EU has demonstrated several times that it is not interested in uncovering communist structures."
