Eight Months’ Work on the Bill
Eight months have already passed since we began working on #TheSovereigntyLaw! Soon we shall reach the stage of publication in the Official Gazette.
Meanwhile the Sovereignty Law is beginning to produce its effects, even before reaching Parliament.
For the first time in the last 30 years, the word “SOVEREIGNTY” is being used in the public space in Romania!
More and more public figures dare to utter this word, which until the beginning of this year was considered either too “abstract” or downright politically incorrect.
Even some politicians have taken courage and introduced this word into their vocabulary. I have heard Adrian Năstase say SOVEREIGNTY several times; even Ludovic Orban used it in a context connected with their internal competition. And on top of that, even Ciolacu took courage and came out from under the bed with SOVEREIGNTY in his mouth.
Praise God!
I hope more and more politicians will say SOVEREIGNTY. And believe what they say. I hope that the appearance of this notion in public discourse will have as its effect a regaining of the Sovereignty lost these last 30 years — a period in which politicians were afraid even to think it, let alone pronounce it.
And that is not the only “early” effect of the Sovereignty Law. Ever since this citizens’ legislative initiative has been spoken of, more and more parliamentarians have been struck by inspiration and speak of all manner of legislative initiatives. Which is extraordinary!
Simion’s golden ones speak of an initiative concerning a moratorium on the felling of forests and of the intention to copy the Hungarian Law against transgender propaganda. Certainly, these “initiatives” were already to be found in the Sovereignty Law when inspiration came to the aforementioned parliamentarians, but no matter. Not only does plagiarism in this matter not bother me — I implore them to copy the text exactly, so that these initiatives may have a chance of passing.
Likewise, senator Șoșoacă has a legislative initiative called the anti-Romanianism one. I do not know what it refers to, for I have not seen the proposed text of law, just as I have not seen the texts of the laws “written” by Simion’s lads. But no matter. The intention to legislate is proper and legitimate for a parliamentarian. That is precisely why they are sent to Parliament, to make laws… even at the verbal level it is good that the intention to legislate is expressed, the intention not to let the structures of the System write all our laws.
Yes, my dear ones, I am proud of this first success of ours, of those of us who have worked for eight months on the Sovereignty Law project!
SOVEREIGNTY has returned to the dictionary of Romanian politicians. I hope it will soon enter their agenda as well — their real agenda, not the declared one.
And the parliamentarians are beginning to compete in inspiration and productivity in the field of legislative initiatives.
That is no small thing.
We, however, must go #ToTheVeryEnd!
And the end of our road will not be there and then when the law reaches Parliament, nor even when and if it is voted by the present Parliament.
The final destination is the Sovereignty of Romania, the dignity and the prosperity of this people.
That is why I invite you to enter the #ArmyOfSovereignty and to sign up as a volunteer at http://VremSuveranitate.ro/

Postscript: I cannot remember… have I already written the word SOVEREIGNTY in this post?
Or “LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVE”? 😉
