The life of the liberals changed radically in 48 hours. From Sunday noon when they floated on the illusion of winning the elections and a monochromatic government, even a minority, until today at noon when they hit on the head the rigorous and inflexible reality of the military installed in the Victoria Palace by the new prime minister, interim and aspiring for some time, according to the scholarship “to be chosen”.
They basically ended up making jokes on their own as the paradigm shifted, from “with us to the party” to “with us at the garnish”.
It is true that some of them were able to say “to us, to the garrison” only in the first part of Tuesday, when the new prime minister, a general in reserve, had just sat down in the office that Ludovic Orban vacated on Monday for the That night, after barely getting over a shock, the one at the Cotroceni meeting in which Klaus Iohannis asked him to resign.
Until the night, the number of those who said “to us, to the Government”, decreased, since Nicolae Ciucă signed his resignations “at the request”, in fact dismissals disguised under this polite formula.
The first to go into debt was the secretary general of the government, Antonel Tănase, Orban’s best friend. He went to present to the prime minister the burning map of the country and resigned. Orban experienced the second shock in 24 hours, unaware that the one who took his seat will kick his friend out as well.
Later, members of the former Orban government were briefly, curtly and uncomplimentary, that they are expected to meet in the meeting room with their new leader. All but one, who was forgotten. Or omitted. However, it seems simply forgotten.
The ministers came to the meeting with fear, because they had only found out what happened with their colleague Antonel. But, fortunately for them, as the participants in the first informal meeting of the Government of Ciuca reported, they were received with warmth and friendship by him, who asked him to say his name – “I am Nicu, not the Prime Minister.”
But the happiness did not last long. The day was not even over and Ciucă versus Orban and the councilor for strategic infrastructure issues, Virgil Guran, fell on the political front. He was fired, that is, he resigned. (Fortunately for him, he has a secure job, being recently elected to parliament by Dâmbovița).
Even Ludovic Orban’s chief of staff had to leave.
In his place came a brigadier general. In fact, a lady general, Nicolae Ciucă’s chief of staff at the Ministry of Defense. A true symbol of the clash between practically two totally different worlds.
Civilians do not understand and cannot live by the rigid rules of the army. The military does not understand democracy, politics, the need for freedom, communication and much less the need for “fun” of civilians.
In this case, they were liberal civilians, all the more so since the “shock” was unbearable. Liberals, and politicians in general, are bohemian, they do not have the rigors of punctuality, they are prone to free communication, meetings only for the sake of meeting, communication and laughter. They don’t wake up in the morning but stay up late in meetings, even if they relax, drink more coffee, smoke, make a joke.
With the arrival of the generals, the rules of the Victoria Palace changed.
The telephones are locked in special boxes, there is no more talk in the hallway, no more walking through the offices without papers, no more stamping documents on your head, no more talking to the press, there must be peace, order, order. unique, and quiet again.
As quiet as the pens signing the resignations and Klaus Iohannis must be heard when he argues with them that they lost the elections and forced him to ask Orban to resign and install the military in the Victoria Palace.
