After 16 years of activity as head of the Municipal Culture Department, Iulian Filip resigned. The news was made public by the interim mayor Vasile Ursu, at the Monday’s working meeting of the mayoralty. Ursu noted that Filip will implement, from now on, the project „Trei iezi” /Three Kids/ Village. Ursu expressed his regret about the leaving, highlighting that Filip’s decision does not have anything in common with the recent sitting of the Municipal Council at which Filip’s possible dismissal was discussed. Iulian Filip announced that along those 16 years, when he managed the cultural activity of the municipality, he has experienced feelings of revelation when a new library or bookshop was opened, or a new municipal theatre, monuments and memorial tablets were uncovered, events in which thousands of spirits united in the Great National Assembly Square Filip notes that he had experienced failures as well – such as to give the Municipal Library „B.P.Hasdeu” and Theatre „E. Ionesco” new buildings, and to build the Village „Trei iezi”. Commenting on the discussions in CMC regarding his possible dismissal, Filip said that the municipal councilor Svetlana Popa proposed to dismiss him on the ground of not executing a CMC decision – to draft the statute of the Association Buciumul. „I have drafted many variants, then they were examined in the Council’s commissions, where they were rejected several times, because of the absence or because of the “too active” presence of Tudor Tataru,” he mentioned. According to Filip, it was not found an appropriate statute for „Buciumul”, as „Tataru doesn’t fit the legal parameters the Culture Department operates with”. “The notion of Svetlana Popa’ justice has nothing to do with its real meaning as I understand it. On Friday, I submitted my dismissal to Vasile Ursu, who asked me if I’m not upset,” Iulian Filip said. The writer, journalist, teacher, chairman of the Publishing Association „NOI”, chairman of the Sunday Academy for Children and Parents “2 hours + 3 kids”, Iulian Filip says that his many-year activity at the Culture Department could end other way than that instrumented by Popa-Tataru & other co-authors. At the last CMC meeting, the councilors proposed the dismissal of Iulian Filip and Tudor Tataru on the ground that they did not comply with their obligations.
