Now it is necessary long term agreement – determined by the state, institutionally – regarding the fact that the Mineriads cannot be forgotten – on the contrary, they must be studied for a long time and introduced as a subject in the secondary school curriculum, in the discipline of history. Likewise, the phenomenon of “University Square” should be studied by high school students in an educational atmosphere of deep interpretation.

cause the principle of cooperation for this topic, being sure that each of us can develop different comments that, in sum, will create a picture of the Mineriads – six – of which one in June 1990 is characterized by violence that is difficult to define, the miners confronting the protesters in the University Square of Bucharest.

Romania needs writers for democracy – in the local world where analytical thinking and spirit quality is the only real weapon against the manipulations carried out by professional liars – speculative propagandists of fake news.

In this context, we mention the historian Daniel Joseph Boorstin, a professor at the University of Chicago and a follower of the “consensus school”, a concept that emphasized the unity of the nation and the reduction of social and class conflicts. Boorstin became the 12th Librarian of Congress, in this position he did not hesitate to emphasize the fundamental role of researchers (inventors) and entrepreneurs in the formation of a balanced society.

In addition, we also mention Luis Hartz – an American political scientist (Harvard), a supporter of “American exceptionalism” – a trend somewhat similar to the interwar ideologies positively developed in Romania at that time – emphasizing the unique values ​​of the nation, which follow their practical path through imposing a real scale of valuesthe context is abandoned today, in times of “transition”.

The uniqueness of Romanians exists and we can define it with many arguments. Unfortunately, totalitarianism, on the one hand, and the controversial “transition,” on the other, have torn us away from this creed, throwing us into anonymity from which we will no longer be able to get out without education and real selections in all professional areas.

May she be so strong back movement of today’s Romania, so that the smells of feudalism make their way through the current stage of the “Transition”? We ask ourselves the question, noting the existence of the communist and post-Decembrist aristocracy – the constant temptation to reconstruct the hereditary estate, the welding of private property by a state institution, which is ensured by strong, well-established political bridges.

If we forget to appreciate the important events of our recent history, it will be because we cease to be valuable – the consequences will undoubtedly be felt. If we are not going to create good for the nation, it will be because we are forever giving up valuable resources by swimming erratically with incompetent people and corrupt systems.

The future depends on us – but, unfortunately, in Romania”borders” it no longer exists, we no longer feel belonging to our national group in a positive sense, we no longer develop in the spirit of historical values, allowing anyone to profit from our land books, becoming excessively individualistic and often falsely competent, with the deterioration of value and lack of acceptance of the state’s fate in a country where the opportunities of an ordinary person are becoming less and less.

For us, social mobility means emigration – the transformation of our country into a desert, into a land from which people leave, in which there is a categorical gap between the state and citizens. The system is fighting for it, and citizens are left to seek their fate without the care of the state. Although not publicly acknowledged, there are classes in modern Romania – the lack of a real trade union movement and the obvious double standards.

Perhaps it would be good if the Romanian Academy invited the writer Mykhailo Ignatiev (Michael Grant Ignatieff – Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard) to conduct a study of the Phenomenon of University Square and Mining – in the context of politics Human Rights.

How protected are we here when we decide to support democratically? How interested is the state in support of the nation? How we develop in the equation of free markets? What would the Romanian world look like and how would our rights be guaranteed without it contribution from the European Union and a North American ally? We really have democratic institutions in Romania more than thirty years after December 1989? Do intellectuals influence the public sphere of our society or we are victims of the electoral lottery – more precisely, how stable will our democracy be in the future?

We further develop the theme of this paper with five approaches designed to make, as in analytical chemistry, the identification of elements and understanding of expanded combinations.

1). Statue “Goddess of Democracy”

In Taipei, Washington, Toronto or Hong Kong, there are identical sculptures of the statue erected in Tiananmen Square in May 1989 by a group of student artists, and then brutally destroyed by the Chinese army. This statue today became a a universal symbol of defiance. Unfortunately, according to statistics, neither the statue nor the concept is known in Romania.
