    [03] The setting up of a Hungarian language teaching state university in Romania - an issue under debate

    Both the ruling Christian Democrat National Peasant Party (PNTCD) as well as Romania's national education minister express their support for the idea of a multicultural university in any Romanian town, the town of Cluj-Napoca excepted. In a statement issued to the press, PNTCD leader Ion Diaconescu has informed that, following talks with the leadesrship of the ruling Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), a commission was appointed to examine ways ofJsetting up a Hungarian language university. Mr Diaconescu admits that Romaniians in Transylvania expressed some fears about it, but the UDMR's position on the issue remained unchained. On the other hand, UDMR leader Marko Bela said his party would like the governing coalition to start new talks over the issue. A final decision is absolutely necessary as UDMR's presence as part of the governing coalition is not an obligation to anyone, Mr Bela said. He fears that Education Minister Andrei Marga is trying to prevent the coalition address the matter according to the governing programme. RADOR

    [04] Senator Ticu Dumitrescu's appeal

    Senator Constantin Ticu Dumitrescu has urged political leaders, MPs, civilians and the press especially to support the emergency adoption of the law disclosuring the former Securitate services as political police. The senator believes that any delay in discussing the matter will actually lead to its burial as it happened to the communism's trial. "As long as Jecision- making bodies and party leaderships include people who have previously proved they can be easily blackmailed or manipulated, our political class will be sick, and economic and political decision will address the same old interests", Mr Ticu Dumitrescu said.
