Several priests from the county of Vaslui, including the Archpriest of Bârlad, Vasile Lăiu, were detained by the police in a restaurant in Bârlad, on the night of March 8, while they were having a meal.
There were six priests, the archpriest, and other people in a restaurant hall. In total, the police imposed 10 fines, according to vremeanoua.ro.
According to the same source, the restaurant owners asked the priests to consecrate the new furniture, since any activity within the Bârlad restaurants is prohibited, due to the high rate of Covid 19, of more than 3 per 1000 inhabitants. .
„They asked us that there was still no activity in the restaurant, which was closed, to sanctify the small room of this restaurant, which has new furniture. And we woke up with the police. Mr. Rotaru did a blessing service for the small room and there were only about six of us. The Blessed Sacrament had something programmed and he didn’t stay, he wasn’t there when the police arrived. We were legitimized, they took our data, they probably fined us, what should we do? These are the risks! The cops were also surprised that they were informed of something else … that it was a party. They went, they saw … the police do their job, what should we do?“, Archpriest Vasile Lăiu declared by the cited source.
„During this day, March 8 of this year, starting at 20:10, the Bârlad Municipal Police officers, supported by gendarmes from the Vaslui County Gendarme Inspection, stopped a private act, organized in a restaurant, located on Primaverii street, in the Municipality of Bârlad, Vaslui county, with the participation of 9 people. As a result of the findings, the policemen and gendarmes who went to the place applied to the local administrator but also to the identified participants a series of 10 sanctions for a total amount of more than 6,500 lei, for violating the provisions of Law 55/2020 some measures to prevent and combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic“Said Bogdan Gheorghiță, spokesman for IPJ Vaslui.
