Red Tape Scandal at Cotroceni

Published: 14 January 2001 y., Sunday
The civil servants employed by the Romanian Presidency are submitted to pressures in order to set free the positions they had occupied by examination and to leave the institution, though their independence towards the political medium is established by law, Sorin Cucerai, the leader of the Branch within the Romanian Presidency of the Syndicate of Civil Servants (SFP), declared. The syndicate leader added that this change of attitude appeared a while after the new administration was installed, and that the pressures exercised on the civil servants in the Presidency come form the new counselors. "The motives are based on a certain mentality about the politicization of certain institutions", Cucerai also said, reminding of the law of the civil servants, which confer them independence towards the political spectrum and that, at the same time, forbid them to politicize during work. Cucerai added that, among the employees at Cotroceni there is a rumor according to which the new power intends to reorganize the Presidency, by transforming it into an Institution of the President, within which the civil servants would have no point. The Branch within Romania's Presidency of SFP was founded this Wednesday and, according to its leader, it is made up of 11 civil servants from Cotroceni. Sorin Cucerai was hired in April 2000, at the Communication Department, led by Andrei Siperco (vice-president of the syndicate), he is 33 and graduated the Philosophy Faculty of Bucharest University.
