Political scientist Vladimir Tismaneanu, former chairman of the presidential commission that wrote the report condemning communism in 2006, said he was expelled from “free Europe” after 37 years of collaboration. The decision was made by the new director of the Romanian section, Elena Vijulie Tănase. Former Digi 24 journalist, Elena Vijulie is the wife of publicist Stelian Tănase, and Tismăneanu blames her decision on the lawsuit she has in court with the journalist’s husband.
“Horses don’t die when they want dogs: I started to collaborate with the Europa Libera radio station in February 1983. I established the contractual conditions with Professor Vlad Georgescu, director of the Romanian department. They remained unchanged, with the necessary updates (address, bank account) to Remuneration has remained the same since 1983. I have written and am writing for Free Europe not for money, but for the cause of freedom. Over the decades, I have received many death threats. with satisfaction the reopening of an RFE office in Bucharest about a year ago. I was a permanent contributor to Radio Free Europe Moldova, I was delighted that one of my articles was broadcast weekly by the Bucharest office. A month ago I received a laconic notice from Ms. Elena Vijulie Tânase that, for economic reasons, the Agora column on the website of the Romanian section is being abolished. Do you regret? e communicate personally? during 37 years of constant collaboration? No way. Today I received the official notification signed by Mrs. Elena Tanase (without Vijulie), director of the Romanian section. Until proven otherwise, which, I am sure, will come sooner than Mrs. Tanase and her consort imagine (with whom I am in the process because he published in the abject online “Cotidianul” lui Nistorescu my bank account number and my additional address). In conclusion: 1. I continue to be a permanent contributor to Radio Europa Moldova. 2. What Ceaușescu and Iliescu did not achieve, Ms Tănase achieved. Congratulations! Conflict of interests? You can bet … “, writes Vladimir Tismăneanu on Facebook.
Tismaneanu also recalls an episode in which Corneliu Coposu allegedly told him about Stelian Tănase: “I remember what Mr. Corneliu Coposu told me once:” Dear Vladimir, I forgive you anything, but there is one thing I cannot forget. ” “What, Mr. Coposu?” “The fact that, thanks to you, we have this braggart named Stelian Tănase assassinate us with the claim that he is a ‘political scientist’ …” from my mistakes … The result of my lifelong collaboration with Free Europe is palpable: “The Archeology of Terror”, “The Totalitarian Night”, “The Unrepeatable Past”, “Effigies of a Historical Nightmare”, “Thesis and Antithesis in Washington”. Also, and most importantly, the feeling that I did good to the country where I was born and whose language was and will always be the first in my life ”.
