QUIET! PRAYER! DECENCY! DIGNITY! "Madam, tell them that there are lawyers, doctors, engineers here; there are people who take care of their lives, their families, who work and contribute to the progress of this country." I was at the central detention center last night. I didn't post because I'm somewhat fed up with the TikTok crowd that uses these moments to promote/monetize themselves. In a year and a half, there have been many moments in front of the judicial control that have been ruined by these characters, perhaps well-intentioned, but who have turned these moments too often into a spectacle for social media. What I want to say, without wishing to get into polemics with anyone, is that we must be very careful about the energy we create around these gatherings. If the vibe is controlled by conflicting, aggressive people, with negative emotions, quality people who feel the same way we do will be hesitant to join. And not because they don’t care, but because they don’t feel at home in such a space. Why do I say this? Because, despite the tension in society, now is the moment for QUIET! PRAYER! DECENCY! DIGNITY! Thank you, Ana-Maria Nita, for managing to beautifully summarize, in a private conversation we had this morning, what needs to be done. They will want to hijack these gatherings as they did with the shepherds' protest. They will exploit negative emotions. They will try to push us towards conflict, towards anger, towards violence. They will not be able to do this if we raise the vibration. I would like to propose to those of you who go there evening after evening, and I will come too, to understand that now the main message we need to convey is one of support for Călin Georgescu. To let him know that we are by his side – WE ARE HERE! And it was beautifully chanted last night: "Căline, Căline, we are here with you!" And the main message we need to convey to those who have mocked this country and its people is that we know everything they have done. That we haven't forgotten the pandemic. That we haven't forgotten the plunder. That we haven't forgotten the cancellation of the elections. That we haven't forgotten their contempt. BUT we choose to confront them calmly, with dignity, through unity, through commitment, with the belief that they cannot abuse, persecute, and arrest us all. Last night, when I arrived, around 10 PM, there were over 1,000–1,500 people. I came without hope that there would be so many people because I hadn't seen anything anywhere in the mainstream press. I was surprised by the energy there. From the beautiful people who stopped me and said the quote from the title: "Madam, tell them that there are lawyers, doctors, engineers here; there are people who take care of their lives, their families, who work and contribute to the progress of this country." The most uplifting moment of the evening was the singing of the anthem, initiated by the nai player Nicolae Voiculeț. A passage was posted by Mrs. Cristela Georgescu. It was the energy, the vibe of that moment that convinced me that these gatherings must be transformed into a cenacle. A CENACLE FOR THE RENAISSANCE OF ROMANIA. We must show them that we are much more than the labels they put on us. The words of Caramitru Jr. after the shepherds' protest echo in my mind: "interlopers," "destroyed," "the scum of society" from "boondocks." A bloated person like him despises real Romania; it repulses him. And there are many like him, many "juniors" (Papahagi, Tismăneanu, Paleologu) who set the tone of hatred and venom and spread it throughout society. Returning to what happened last night. I left when the chants began with "The gendarmerie protects theft," "Mușușor, arrested." It shouldn't be about this now. What would I do? I would go with a white armband. We need a symbol of peace, of resistance, and of dignity. I would encourage Nicolae Voiculeț to transform these gatherings into a cenacle. I would lift the crowd; I wouldn't lower their vibration. I would chant one thing: WE ARE HERE! (translated)
