The figure of those three literati in those tense and full of incertitude moments it was for me like a balm. If someone asked me whom I wished to see for the first time in the frame of this new world that was growing in those moments, I believe no figure of politician, soldier, priest or whatever it may be, wouldn’t bring my soul so much peace than this three literati brought me, altogether and truthful people, with a great audience among public.
Because of the impulse caused by the Television, in Baia Mare: “You all get out on the marketplaces and fill the town hall”, people went out on the streets, forming a big reunion, but in lack of a leader …they were waiting. After a long time spent in discussions and debates, a proposal was certified: “We split in two. A group fills the County’s Council (County’s Committee of the Party), and the other will have to fill the Security”. Nothing happened to anyone, there wasn’t any kind of opposition. Even where they meat soldiers, security men, they co-operated with the “revolutionists” that took the weapons and some papers (nobody knew it’s use) and they installed themselves in the two buildings. The groups becoming louder than before and more autocrats got also to the town hall. Someone (the administrator) asked them: “What do you want?”
-The books and pictures with Ceausescu, to burn it!
-Ok. I will give it to you but you have to take it from the frame so it won’t break. The frames are on bill.
-Good, and they started with careful to take out the portraits and burn it. Bale fire came out from the masters “creation” and portraits. People amused themselves when “creations” and portraits of her, the “academician”, appeared, giving them a sort of satisfaction when breaking it.
This is how the first day ended. At evening everybody went home. That supposed leader didn’t show up so nobody had any idea of what to do, even more, the so called time-serving people showed up, trying to stand on their own, starting to guess what kind of benefits one could get from this type of situation. Once the damage was done, the simple man calmed down and attended his usual own matters. This simple man was the first to make a mistake. He didn’t know he won’t have peace until HE, HIMSELF WON’T FIND NEW MASTERS TO THRON. This “action” was lead from behind by the ones that wished to become the NEW MASTERS. At evening they went home satisfied, walking through were they wished and taking what they wanted. True dramas were being consumed at the parties eating house and storages. A child “got” to have one banana but because he had never seen one before, he wanted to throw it away. That is when the older ones began to cry.
