St. Băsescu and negative politics

When Traian Băsescu told people that he will overcome the “wicked system,” he obviously overlooked his being part of the system, that is, his own “wickedness.” To convince us of the contrary, the new President underwent a transmutation, he experienced an odd form of conversion. Thus, from the promising-though rather uncouth-populist, Băsescu turned overnight into a hero... 

Sf. Băsescu şi politica negativă

Când Traian Băsescu a anunţat poporul că va învinge “sistemul ticăloşit” el excludea desigur apartenenţa sa la sistem, altfel spus: propria sa “ticăloşie”. Pentru a ne convinge că lucrurile nu stau aşa, noul preşedinte a suferit o metamorfoză, a trăit o formă ciudată de convertire. Astfel, din populistul de viitor, dar cam necioplit, Băsescu a devenit peste noapte un... 

Moţiunea a picat, bătălia continuă

Moţiunea de cenzură marchează eşecul de etapă al demersului lui Traian Băsescu de a impune PD ca partid prezidenţial, dominant, de dreapta. Şansele de adoptare erau oricum destul de mici, având în vedere că parlamentarii sunt în principiu împotriva anticipatelor şi preferă riscul cel mai mic. Ele crescuseră însă pe ultima sută de metri, când atât preşedintele Traian Băsescu,... 

The PSD motion—an attempt to reposition the party in the political arena?

In spite of the parliamentary recess, the Social Democratic Party (PSD) announcement of a no-confidence motion against the Tăriceanu Cabinet set the Romanian political arena on fire. The goal of this somewhat unexpected move was subject to speculations, as most of the political class expressed distrust as to the determination of PSD to actually go through with it, particularly given that the... 

PD facing the PSD motion

The Social Democratic Party (PSD) announcement that it would table a no-confidence motion against the Tăriceanu Cabinet came as a surprise to the other political parties. Most observers agreed that the Social Democrats’ unexpected decision was unnatural and highly risky for the party headed by Mircea Geoană. In a move to find out the motivation for such a decision, the mass media came up with... 

PD, în faţa moţiunii PSD

Anunţul PSD că va iniţia o moţiune de cenzură împotriva Guvernului Tăriceanu a luat prin surprindere celelalte partide politice. Decizia neaşteptată a social-democraţilor a fost considerată aproape la unison nefirească şi foarte riscantă pentru formaţiunea condusă de Mircea Geoană. Din dorinţa de a afla motivaţia unei asemenea decizii, mass-media a prezentat mai multe scenarii. Într-unul... 

PSD fretting

Looking at the recent moves of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), one can’t help wondering what all this commotion that seems to have taken over party leaders is all about. One motion of no confidence after the other, meetings of party members, bombshell statements, attempts at joining forces with other parties… If we were to believe Mircea Geoană, it only takes one flick for the incumbent... 

Zbaterile PSD

Privind acţiunile din ultima vreme ale PSD, nu poţi să nu te întrebi ce este cu toată agitaţia asta care pare să fi cuprins conducerea partidului. Moţiuni de cenzură peste moţiuni de cenzură, întruniri ale membrilor de partid, declaraţii fulminante, tentative de apropiere de alte partide… Dacă stai să-l asculţi pe Mircea Geoană, actualul guvern mai are nevoie doar de un simplu... 

The impossible change

In one of its features last issue, “Cadran Politic” was arguing in favour of the consolidation of Mircea Geoană’s power position as a solution to the PSD internal crisis. Motto: “So foul a sky clears not without a storm” (W. Shakespeare) Within a month after Adrian Năstase’s self-suspension as executive president of PSD, signals indicating a fast, in-depth... 

PSD Reform, Good Bye!

The Năstase case is not an exception in PSD. Actually, just about the whole leading team has image problems arising from corruption suspicions. Which made Victor Ponta say recently that he can’t think of any clean person among the party’s top three-four leaders. “Operation Aunt Tamara,” which could have been an opportunity for the reform of PSD, eventually turned into a...
