The archives of the Securitate communist political police managed by the Defence Ministry will be handed over to the National Council for the Study of Securitate Archives (CNSAS).
Under a government decision approved on Friday, the state secrets thereof will be declassified.
"It gives me pleasure, I could say, to mark the end of a historic process, perhaps awaited by many people. Today, by government decision, the declassification process of the last documents issued in 1956-1989, documents issued by the departments of the Securitate, comes to an end. More precisely, it is about documents that were in the archives managed by the Defence Ministry, and these documents, the last of a huge volume, are to be declassified and handed over to the National Council for the Study of Securitate Archives to form the basis of research into communism in Romania," governmental spokesperson Mihai Constantin told a new conference at the Government House.
Under the government decision, the declassification of state secrets in documents issued in the years 1956-1989 by Securitate departments under the management of the Defence Ministry is approved, "since disclosure thereof can no longer harm national security, the defence of the country , public order or the interests of private or public stakeholders."
