Press a danger

În urmă cu câteva zile pe site-uri de presă naţională cât şi internaţională îl acuzau pe Traian Băsescu că se comportă ca un DICTATOR. Eu am publicat pe acest blog, de mai multe ori riscul de a fi reintrat într-o ţară de DICTATURĂ. Vom vedea. Dar acum avem un document care a fost trimis Parlamentului României, care se intituleaza

Adolf Hitler a venit în faţa parlamentului pentru a declara Război Presei. Şi reamintesc că a spus “Ceea ce s-a întâmplat zilele trecute cu incendierea Parlamentului, trebuie să iau act de acest lucru şi să aduc o strategie a Guvernului meu, deoarece acest incident reprezintă un act împotriva Securităţii Naţionale”. Exact în acel moment a restrâns toate drepturile Presei pe motiv că ar fi un fenomen împotriva Securităţii Naţionale.

Ce vedem azi mă îngrijorează faptul că Presa este o vulnerabilitate la adresa Securităţii Naţionale. Sper că drepturile Presei nu vor fi îngrădite. Drepturile Presei sunt stabilite prin Constituţie, ea fiind una a 4-a putre în Stat.

UPDATE in English:

Few days ago on sites of national and international press accused Basescu of behaving like a dictator. I posted on this blog several times the risk of come back in a country of dictatorship. We'll see. But now we have a document that was sent to the Romanian Parliament, the National Defense Strategy is entitled to a Romania that ensures safety and property of future generations.

Adolf Hitler came to parliament to declare war on the press. And recall that said "What happened the other day with Parliament in Fire, should take note of this and to make a strategy of my Government, because this incident is an act against national security". Just at that moment all rights restricted because the Press would be a phenomenon against National Security.

What we see today I am concerned that media is a vulnerability to national security, against of Romanian President and he must protect against of media. I hope the Press rights will not be restricted. Media rights are established by the Constitution, it is a 4th power in the state.

Text quoted from National Security Strategy of Romania.

“Phenomenon in control media campaigns in order to denigrate the institutions of state by spreading false information about their activities, press trusts pressures on the political decision to obtain economic benefits or in relation to state institutions;”

It would be a good reason for that not to be denigrated Basescu and to restrict the rights of the press following the press to the only good information and bad character.
