THE NEGOTIATION OF A MILLION VOTES Ponta has contempt for his supporters

A few million (?) votes were thrown in the negotiation between the National Council of the Romanian Civil Society (CNSC) and USL, in exchange for a list of terms, which includes several shocking ones, such as for instance the disbandment of the Constitutional Court, of the National Integrity Agency (ANI), the National Anticorruption Department (DNA) and the National Council for the Study of the Archives of the Former Political Police (CNSAS) (with the latter three being considered as practicing political police), according to a document leaked in the media yesterday, a list which prime-minister Victor Ponta (the president of the Social Democrat Party - PSD) claims he has no clue about, even though he signed the principle agreement protocol with the National Council of Civil Society - CNSC, together with Daniel Chiţoiu, the interim president of the National Liberal Party (PNL) (and Minister of the Economy) and Daniel Constantin, the president of the Conservative Party (and minister of Agriculture).

The document once again set the mass-media ablaze (even though it had not yet recovered from the immoral statement of Băsescu, who is decided to boycott the Referendum), because the media construed it as an attempt at a coup-d'etat, and as proof of the intention of disbanding the institutions dedicated to fighting corruption and guarding the Constitution.

With his credibility wrecked by the plagiarism scandal (as well as due to the multiple lies, especially the ones he said in tandem with interim president Crin Antonescu), prime minister Victor Ponta said, at first, that it was just another attempt at manipulation by Băsescu, and during the day went as far as to deny that the USL had anything to do with the document, only to eventually resign to attempt an explanation through a rudimentary sophism, which not even some of his colleagues in the USL could swallow:

"I signed a one page agreement which very clearly states that, starting with July 18th, and until the beginning of the electoral campaign for the parliamentary elections, in other words until November, every item on the agenda will be drawn up based on a mutual agreement, based on the talks with the representatives of each structure.

Aside from that, we did not talk about anything else, and wacky stuff like disbanding the Constitutional Court and the like...these are things the PDL and Băsescu added in, as they are desperate that they will lose the referendum. It is typical, these are the run-of-the-mill attempts at manipulation from the PDL, which come from the playbook of the communist political police".

When asked (probably by a journalist of B1TV) on how he would comment on the fact that Mircea Dogaru, the president of the Union of the Laid Off Soldiers (a union which was part of the National Council of the Civil Society - CNSC), has confirmed the demands concerning the disbandment of the National Anticorruption Department (DNA) and the Romanian Constitutional Court, Victor Ponta replied: "Who is Mircea Dogaru? I am Victor Ponta, even if you may not know me here at B1TV."

Aside from its arrogance, the answer is absolutely ridiculous, because the document which is signed by Ponta and the other two leaders of the USL is countersigned by ... Mircea Dogaru.

Therefore, Victor Ponta is asking the supporters of the USL to believe him that he signed a principle agreement with a list of terms he does not know, together with someone he also doesn't know.

In my opinion, Ponta despises his supporters.

He is already showing signs that he doesn't care anymore about what comes out of his mouth.

"I am Victor Ponta".

Good god!, is it really you, Victor Ponta?! I've been looking for you forever!

Răzvan Sârbu, of the Secretariat of the National Council of the Romanian Civil Society (CNSC), told us, in a phone conversation, that even though he does not have a record of all the individual members of each "of the fifty-four federations, unions, organizations, associations, etc" which make up the CNSC, he estimates that they number in "a few millions", representing a significant "mass of votes".

However, some rumors are betting on a "volume of votes" of just eight hundred thousands - one million votes, which, even if they represent just a fraction of the vague number hinted by Răzvan Sârbu, remains "significant", as they say.

The National Council of the Romanian Civil Society has launched its membership forms, on October 9th, 2011, after the Proclamation passed by the public manifestation of October 7th, 2011, in the Eroilor Square of Bucharest (at the same time with the NATO Reunion, in Bucharest), a manifestation which was intended to organize the Civil Society by the former members of the Army.
