Liberal and Communist members of the Parliament's Legal Commission engaged in a heated dispute over an amendment proposed by the Liberal Party restoring the original name of the Law on Rehabilitating Victims of Political Repressions, and namely to the “Law on Rehabilitating Victims of Political Repressions Committed by the Occupying Totalitarian Communist Regime during 7 November 1917 through 23 June 1990”, Info-Prim Neo reports. The Commission's head, Liberal Victor Popa, recalled that in 1994 the lawmakers saw it fit to scrap the phrase “the Communist Regime”, but he didn't think that was justified. Communist Anatoli Zagorodnyi replied that the lawmakers did the right thing in 1994 because the 1917-1990 period encompassed more than one totalitarian regime. “This period saw many regimes, including the Romanian Fascist and the Romanian Bourgeois ones. Now, people are suffering from extreme poverty, and they concern themselves with petty things!” fumed Zagorodnyi, demanding that the amendment was removed from the order of the day. Other Communist members suggested the Liberals to consider the alternative phrase “the Stalinist Regime” instead of “the Communist Regime”. The amendment, which was approved by 7 to 4 votes, will be submitted to Parliament for further debates.
