Romania is very close to have a "political police", on Sunday night asserted the Social Democratic Party (PSD, main at rule) national leader Liviu Dragnea, adding that he has "big hopes" that the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI)'s head Eduard Hellvig will resist "any temptation".
"Romania is this close — not there yet — this close to wake up in a reasonable time with a political police. This is very tough notion. We are not in the situation to actually having a political police, but we are very close to have such thing. I have great hopes in Eduard Hellvig, the SRI director, I know him, he has a pretty modern conception, I hope he will resist any temptation, because temptations are very big. Through what he did so far looks that things as approached are OK," Dragnea told the private TV station Antena 3.
According to the PSD leader, in Romania is a lot of manipulation and influence upon certain institutions that should be totally independent, so that each and every one of us should be guaranteed that, in Romania, if one breaks no law and steals not, that one could sleep well.
