Domnule Nas,
Nu pot decat sa salut initiativa Dvs si sa o consider inca o modalitate de
sustinere a cauzei pastrarii identitatii Bucurestiului.
Mi-as ingadui sa va fac o sugestie : am scris despre participarea la
conferinta organizata de Fundatia Friedrich Ebert in Bucuresti condusa de Dr.
Pfaller " Aglomerari metropolitane: Provocare catre Politica Publice si
Societatea Civila "
In concluziile prezentate Domnia sa bun cunoscator a societatii romanesti ,
in cei 3 ani de cand este i Romania a salutat prezenta participantilor din
societatea civila interesati de destinele urbelor din care provin.
Cred ca Domnia sa ar fi dispus sa ne sprijine cauza si probabilittea de a se
afla in preajma Presedintelui PE ar fi mai mare decat receptarea scrisorilor
noastre particulare.
S-ar putea ca eu sa nu fiu chiar bine informata asupra valorii mesajelor si a
modului de prelucrare a acestora; Daca vi se pare ca este mai acuta receptia
acestor mesaje pot scrie si eu o asemenea solicitare !!!
Am si eu aceleasi convingeri ca cele sustinute de Dvs in privinta oribilei
constructii si daca va fi sa ramana macar mai reduasa ca inaltime si un
AVERTISMENT impotriva unor alte abuzuri.
Cand la conferinta amintita l-am intrebat pe Consilierul Primarului General
ce se mai aude cu Catedrala a ridicat din umeri spunandu-mi :primaria
sectorului 1 a dat aprobarea, lucru care se intampla si cu edicficiul din
spatiul fostului Teatru Excelsior....
O sa va rog sa aveti amabilitatea sa-mi dati un mesaj cum este mai bine de
procedat.
Banuiesc ca asa discret cum sunteti nu ati indraznit sa propuneti scrisoarea
in numele grupului, ceea ce recunosc ca inteleg
va multumesc

Stimati colisteni,
Dupa cum stiti, in urma cu cateva zile, Parlamentul European a adoptat o
rezolutie in care cere luarea masurilor pentru protejarea Catedralei Sf. Iosif
din Bucuresti, in prezent pusa in pericol prin dezvoltarea proiectului
"Cathedral Plaza".
Peste aproximativ doua saptamani, intre 15 si 17 octombrie, Presedintele PE,
Dr. Hans-Gert Pöttering, urmeaza sa faca o vizita oficiala in Romania. Domnia
sa se va adresa Parlamentului Romaniei si va avea de asemenea intalniri cu
presedintele Basescu si premierul Tariceanu, ca si cu presedintii celor doua
camere ale parlamentului.
Am profitat de ocazie pentru a-i transmite o scrisoare in care ii reamintesc
situatia grava in care se afla Catedrala Sf. Iosif si ii adresez rugamintea de
a discuta acest subiect in intalnirile cu oficialii romani. Gasiti mai jos
mesajul pe care l-am trimis acum doua zile Presedintelui PE si staff-ului sau
(scrisoarea este de asemenea atasata in format pdf). Scuze pentru eventualele
greseli in redactarea acestei scrisori.
Daca va pasa de Bucuresti si de salvarea si pastrarea monumentelor istorice
si de arta ale orasului, in situatia in care considerati ca este o idee buna,
va rog sa-i transmiteti si dvs. rugamintea de a discuta subiectul Catedralei
Sf. Iosif in intalnirile pe care le va avea cu oficialitatile din Romania.
Cred ca e pacat sa nu profitam de ocazia apropiatei vizite la Bucuresti a d-lui
Pöttering.
Va multumesc,

Subject: St. Joseph Cathedral in Bucharest
Importance: High
Thursday, September 27, 2007
Attn: His Excellency Dr. Hans-Gert Pöttering
President of the European Parliament
Re: St. Joseph Roman Catholic Cathedral Complex,
17-19 General Berthelot Street, Bucharest, Romania
Your Excellency:
Our various European countries are rich in unique cultural traditions and
historical inheritance that must be preserved. The St. Joseph Roman Catholic
Cathedral of Bucharest, Romania is part of it.
The St. Joseph Cathedral in Bucharest was built during 1873-1884 after designs
by the world-famous Viennese architect Friedrich von Schmidt, probably the most
important modern Gothic architect next to Ferstel. Von Schmidt is well-known
for masterpieces such as the St. Stephen Cathedral in Wien, which he restored,
or the beautiful Wiener Rathaus, the Wien City Hall.
The St. Joseph Cathedral is currently threatened by the "Cathedral Plaza
Office Building Project, a gigantic 20 floors skyscraper which is currently
being built back to back to the cathedral. The project puts the cathedral in
serious danger due to the risks of fatal earthquakes which regularly shake
Romania. Moreover, the location in the close vicinity of the St. Joseph
Cathedral obviously does no good to this historical and architectural monument,
the main place of worship for Bucharests Roman Catholics.
Obviously, this is a Romanian debate. The law regarding safeguarding of
historical monuments prohibits such a construction. But corruption does not
fear laws; it does not hesitate to destroy any monument of art or national
historical inheritance.
But even more, this is not just a Romanian affair, it is a European debate too.
Article 151 of the Treaty establishing the European Community calls for
Community action in the field of culture aimed at promoting and protecting the
cultural heritage of the Member States.
Mr. President, you are undoubtedly aware of the Written Declaration no.
54/2007, initiated in May 2007 by a group of five Romanian members of the
European Parliament. The Written Declaration on the need for measures to
protect the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St Joseph in Bucharest, Romania - an
endangered historical and architectural monument" clearly states that the
competent Romanian authorities are systematically refusing to apply either the
provisions of the national law on protecting historical monuments, or the
provisions of Community law on protecting the cultural and architectural
heritage in this case.
The declaration has gathered 424 signatures, more than the minimum required.
Therefore, on Thursday 27 September, the European Parliament adopted the
written declaration, calling on the Commission and Council to firmly condemn
the attitude of the Romanian authorities and initiate the necessary legal
proceedings in order to persuade the relevant authorities to fulfill their
Community obligations under Article 151 of the Treaty.
Mr. President, you will soon make an official visit to Romania during October
15-17, an opportunity to approach the Parliament in Bucharest and to meet
President Traian Basescu, Premier Calin Popescu Tariceanu, and Presidents of
both Chambers of the Parliament, Nicolae Vacaroiu and Bogdan Olteanu.
In view of your upcoming visit, in order to ensure the safeguarding of
cultural heritage and of the historical monuments in our European countries, I
kindly ask you to discuss the issue of the St. Joseph Cathedral with the
Romanian authorities. Thank you for your support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Valentin Nas
Bucharest, Romania
