Minister of Interior Marcel Vela said he expects the Gendarmerie to submit the recordings of the conversations that the gendarmes had through the walkie talkie stations in the evening of August 10 2018.
He explained that the reason given by the gendarmes units in Constanta, Ploiesti, Craiova and Bucharest for the classification of these conversations was that the almost 300 hours of conversations also included some numbers of units or military procedures that were also classified through other normative acts.
According to the Minister, at this point, all the MAI structures are verified and measures will be taken depending on the results of these verifications.
In his opinion, there are too many people in the offices and too little in the street, and this proportion could be improved in the favour of the ones in the street.
He also added there are situations in which these rules could be understood, but he didn't want them to be labeled in the future as privileges of policemen.
Asked when these verifications conducted by the Ministry will end, he showed that the MAI has around 130,000 employees, which means that the entire action is very wide and very thorough and relevant, so that the decisions that will be taken shall be "objective", "taken with celerity" and "impossible to challenge in court and won, with the Ministry then suffering damages."
