“It has been 33 years since the creation of the Protection and Security Service, a pillar of Romanian democracy. Democracy means building not only civil or social, but also institutional. The recipe for democracy is the impersonalization of institutional structures or forms of power. That is why, on the occasion of this anniversary of the Security and Protection Service, it is important to remember its essential role in ensuring the national security of our democracy, without personalizing it, and to understand that it has an institutional contribution equal to other structures in ensuring the balance and evolution of our society according to the model Western aspirations,” says the former president.

He reminds that there are “33 years of traditions in military education and support of the civil sphere”, and the same number of years during which he “cooperated flawlessly with the representatives of this institution”.

“The fact that we have a state that meets European standards regarding the morphology of defense systems is also a result of the internal and external mission of the SPP. I wish SPP employees success in their work and thank them for being an important pillar in determining the normality and security of Romania!”, concludes Ion Iliescu.

The former president has also sent a message on SPP Day in past years.

Ion Iliescu has not written on his blog since February 6, when academician Rezvan Teodorescu died. In fact, he posts on the blog quite rarely, as a rule, after the death of a public figure.
