Romania struggles to get rid of its old ghosts

The Romanian president Traian Basecu presented on Monday, December 18th, the report written by a commission of historians officially recognising the crimes of communism for the first time. For Marcel Gaston, correspondent for the daily in Bucharest, this event, which has received a great amount of media coverage, bears more resemblance to "a publicity campaign two weeks before entering the EU than the beginning of a witch hunt ... , and cannot be interpreted as the starting point of an honest and courageous debate on reconciliation and fault, a debate that Romania is not prepared to take on. It does not seem very likely that the concrete measures proposed by the Commission will be put into practice, measures such as the opening-up of archives or other efforts to shed light on historical truth. This would have to be approved by politicians who wish, for various reasons, for things to remain as they are. And it is therefore in the press that the debate might take place, through self-serving revelations about the past of certain people and political blows beneath the belt".
