The Chair of the Committee for Culture of the Chamber of Deputies, Liberal Gigel Stirbu, considers that the Government's request to block the file by which Rosia Montana can become a UNESCO protected site is "an irresponsible attack on the Romanian treasures" and announces that Minister George Ivascu will be heard in the committee next week in connection with this request.
According to him, Culture Minister George Ivascu is invited to the Committee for Culture on June 12 to be heard in connection with this demarche related to Rosia Montana.
Stirbu says that the Social Democratic Party (PSD) acts in the interest of the mining industry, not that of the Romanian patrimony, and the decision to withdraw the Rosia Montana file from the UNESCO list was made without any public consultation or debate, being "at the limit of the criminal law."
