The Intelligence Service’s Budget Rises Again

The “anti-system” alliance of Social Democrats and Liberals is raising the intelligence service’s budget again this year — by five per cent. And this while they proclaim that they are fighting the parallel state. It is as though Menelaus’s Greeks had sent into the Troy they were besieging a horse loaded with food and weapons.

If the budget passes Parliament in this form, it is plain that we are witnessing merely another fix between the political class and the subterranean state — merely another political playlet staged to deceive us, we who say plainly that the domestic intelligence service is the chief anti-national agent operating on Romanian territory. And it does so while being handsomely paid out of Romanians’ money.

The National Alliance calls upon the governing coalition to fund the service in keeping with European proportions, measured against Romania’s budget and Romania’s population.

Any other course, once translated into a political decision to raise the service’s budget, amounts to an act of capitulation before the parallel state.

Within this European logic and paradigm of national security: so long as Germany — Germany! — has a budget of 349 million euros for a population of 82.79 million citizens, Romania ought to fund its service with at most 88.52 million euros. Not over 525 million dollars. The equivalent of dozens of hospitals, or hundreds of kilometres of motorway — or more than twice the cost of the National Cathedral, when at last it is finished. And this expenditure is made to maintain the “System” for a single year. And every year the cost rises.

Enough. Invest in the future of the nation, not in the future of the “System”.

Stop making fools of Romanians.

Stop the over-funding of the System.

We are not the slaves of the Securitate.
