The bloody beginnings of the new Romania and the mystery that still
resides around Ceausescu's murder are a weight around the nation's neck,
according to psychiatrist and writer Ion Viona: "We have never really
found out who gave the orders to shoot the dictator on that day in
December. And the terrible suspicion that the thousand or more people
who died in the revolution could be the victims of another farce of even
greater proportions, lies at the heart of post-communist Romania. But
twenty years after the Romanian revolution, the files on those events
have been closed, and at the same time, our nation is being condemned by
international courts. Romania today is standing in the quicksand of lies
about the events of December 21 to 25. And if historical facts are
sinking ever deeper into this quicksand, so are our chances of ever
finding the historical
truth."http://www.signandsight.com/intodaysfeuilletons/1991.html
