Soviet Union 1991

Second update

The Black October incident greatly damaged Constantinescu's political image. The political promises to improve the quality of people's livelihood and fight for various freedoms for the people since he took office turned into shameless lies that were self-defeating. At the same time, it also shattered the people's vision and hope for the Democratic Agreement.

The overwhelming newspaper propaganda was beyond Constantinescu's expectations. In fact, he forgot that the Romanian Social Democratic Party was the first political party that controlled the vast majority of the country's media. A new round of political surveys showed that Constantinescu's election satisfaction rate plummeted by 30%, which was the first time this had happened since Romania entered democratic politics.

According to the previously set plan, after the Bucharest police launched a clearance offensive, the Social Democratic Party launched a ground-breaking public opinion propaganda. They deliberately downplayed the fact that the demonstrators were complaining about the bribery case against Isescu, and instead focused their firepower on suppressing the people.

Repression is a taboo word among political parties in Eastern European countries, and it often represents dictatorship and violence.

Therefore, street politics has become a common trick used by some ambitious people with ulterior motives.

Voinea's move was vicious and left no trace. Constantinescu would only think that Icescu was behind the scenes and planned everything, but he forgot that there was another political force secretly provoking the relationship between the two sides and preparing to reap the benefits.

"The tragedy that happened in Bucharest yesterday shocked the whole country. The police department attacked a group of unarmed people. The occurrence of this tragedy was unexpected. A total of more than 100 people were injured to varying degrees in the demonstration. So far, the presidential palace has not made any response."

"There are people demonstrating outside the Bucharest Police Station, and Director Icescu firmly believes that they are carrying out orders from their superiors and contacting any dangerous factors that endanger the safety of the Romanian capital..."

Voinea turned off the TV, and the news anchor's chatter was suddenly interrupted. He turned around and said to the Social Democratic Party members in the meeting room, "You have seen that the contradiction between us and the right-wing party Democratic Agreement is slowly becoming prominent. After they came to power in the election, the Social Democratic Party has had a hard time. As an opposition party, we have always been considered a thorn in the side of privatization reform."

Voynea sighed and deliberately looked at everyone to observe their reactions.

"The Social Democratic Party follows gradual reform and opposes any drastic reform measures. This is what the right-wing party that attempts liberalization, privatization and full marketization does not want to see the most. What Constantinescu did in Bucharest today is just a prelude to declare war. There will definitely be more provocations next."

"By then, can the Social Democratic Party, which has no leader, resist the attack from the other side? The Democratic Agreement, which just won the presidential seat in the general election, will definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury and will never miss this great opportunity."

Voynea's warning made everyone present feel an unprecedented crisis. If the Social Democratic Party becomes the target as he said, then they will only die if they do not fight back.

"But is this your intention to plan people to take to the streets to oppose Constantinescu?" Dinesco questioned, showing some disdain, "Trying to whitewash Iescu? Demanding new elections? Are you going to trample on the dignity of the Romanian Constitution? We Social Democrats will be laughed at."

"You are wrong, we are not going to trample on the dignity of the Constitution, but to preserve the Social Democratic Party."

For his own little calculations, Voinea put party disputes first, and said to Dinesco, "Don't you realize the current situation of the Social Democratic Party? Do you really think I want to start a party dispute? If it weren't for the current bad situation, I would I really didn't think of instructing the masses to hold demonstrations. "

"Everyone." Voinea's tone became very serious, and he said in a deep voice, "What we have to do now is to unite the whole party and deny the legitimacy of this election. Put pressure on the parliament to hold a new election. At the same time, Romanian citizens who are dissatisfied with the current social situation took to the streets to demonstrate and force Constantinescu to surrender. If they take action against the people, we will seize the excuse of persecuting freedom and democracy. "

"Then do you know that once a precedent is set, the party disputes in the future will become uncontrollable. "Dinescu expressed his concerns. Voinea's behavior is too adventurous. Not to mention the chance of success, even if it succeeds, other parties may use this as an excuse to overthrow the legal ruling status of the Social Democratic Party in the future.

But how could Voinea, who had decided to go all out, listen to the other party's persuasion? He said disdainfully, "We are very different from the group of people in the Democratic Agreement. They have been vigorously promoting the liberalization of the market since they came to power, cutting welfare and advocating that the government let the market run freely, resulting in public resentment. We advocate that the government should have absolute control over the market and improve the welfare of the grassroots people. On this issue, do you think the people will stand on our side or their side?"

The expression on Dinescu's face gradually changed from disdain to seriousness. Voinea's move was not a casual one without thinking, but a conspiracy that had been carefully planned!

He suddenly felt that the old friend in front of him from the National Salvation Front was a little strange.

Voynea had done his homework for this "street revolution". With the assistance of the KGB, he not only had a complete political main station, sufficient financial assistance, but also an intelligence team to create chaos in Romania. This was planned, step by step to subvert the state power.

"We should call on the people to resist tyranny."

"Freedom belongs to Romania!"

Voynea had even designed his propaganda slogans, waiting to launch an offensive against Constantinescu after this meeting to create a chaotic and turbulent political situation.

"This is not only related to me personally, but everyone present should also think clearly. When the Social Democratic Party becomes the ruling party, everyone present, a bright future is waiting for you."

His instigation worked, and many members of parliament have begun to raise their hands to agree with Voinea's statement. Of course, the US dollars he had sent to these members before also played a key role. Money is always the best way to win people's hearts.

Voinea looked at the pale Dinesco and said softly, "My old friend, do you still oppose my plan?" (To be continued.)
