Initiative to identify journalists who collaborated with Securitate

An NGO wants journalists as well as NGO activists who collaborated with Securitate exposed. The Romanian public should know who the opinion leaders in the Romanian media are.

BUCHAREST – Founder and coordinator of the Civic Media Association, Victor Roncea, stated that the Association will submit to the National Council for Securitate Archive Investigation (CNSAS) Thursday a request to have files on all journalists with leading positions in the media and of all opinion leaders in the mass media community under investigation. Asked about the penalties he suggested if some of the persons in question were found to have collaborated with Securitate, the Civic Media leader answered that he was hoping for “public censure.”

“Our colleagues in Bulgaria sacked them,” Roncea pointed out, referring to a similar project initiated by the Association of Journalists against Corruption in Bulgaria. The journalist believes it is the duty of the Romanian Press Club to take a stand if former Securitate workers are found among journalists and NGO activists. The National Council for Securitate Archive Investigation has not yet released an official standpoint on the Association’s initiative to publish files of journalists and NGO workers who collaborated with Securitate. Contacted over the phone, Council spokesman Cazimir Ionescu explained that CNSAS needs the Association’s support for such projects.

Civic Media believes that not only holders of and candidates for public positions should be held liable for their past, and therefore investigated in order to find whether they are responsible for political policing or censorship deeds.

“In a democracy in transition, undergoing a consolidation process, it is very important for the public personalities who become opinion leaders to be morally stainless,” Civic Media says in a news release. According to Association members, “many of these persons abuse their journalist or NGO worker positions to secure a place for themselves in the media market, in view of making public interventions at critical times for the natural development of the nation.”
