The Liberals want to sacrifice the President's dames. Minister Macovei will be given the sack this month, when the government restructuring is due. Rodica Culcer will pay for her TVR interview of Traian Basescu. PM Tariceanu will ask that Justice minister Monica Macovei should step back if the government is restructured and becomes more flexible. The ordinance on the DIICOT (Department for Investigation on Organized Crime and Terrorism) elaborated by the Ministry of Justice grants prosecutors the right to have access to citizens' electronic mail and bank accounts with no warrant from a judge. It has been the climax in the Justice minister's activity. This is thought to be more intolerable than the decision of Mihai Razvan Ungureanu, a Romanian minister of foreign affairs until recently, confidential sources say. Macovei is accused of having done just like the ex foreign minister, who hadn't informed the government and the PM. Civil society has been criticizing the Justice minister because of the DIICOT ordinance, arguing that this normative document has triggered talk on Romanian legislation's lacking democracy. The political opposition is working on a simple parliamentary motion against minister Macovei and the Liberals are planning to ask the Democrats to replace her with someone else. In case of refusal, Tariceanu is ready to make a "smaller and more lively" Cabinet, still a Liberal one. Emil Boc, leader of Romanian Democrats, has smelt it and demanded the Liberals should take distance from the Social-Democrat Party. Confidential sources say preparations are being made to sack Rodica Culcer, head of the news department in the Romanian Public Television, which would also mean major change. The Ethics and Arbitrage Committee of the TVR proposed those guilty of disallowing Ion Iliescu to reply should be sanctioned. According to Civic Media Organization, the National Council for Research on the Communist Secret Service Archive is to summon Rodica Culcer to explanations. (D.I.)
