quite unrelated but watching the footage in the last episode of derry girls reminded me of the violence from the romanian revolution and the mineriads but with no closure after all :(

vreau doar sa cunoasca acesti oameni niste oameni adevarati. niste babute care au ramas vaduve dupa mineriade. niste copii carora le-a plecat tata saltat de securitate. cineva care nu a avut caldura in casa pana la 50 de ani. un tip gay care a fost prins de securisti. si sa se uite in ochii lor si sa incerce sa el explice de ce era bine in romania lui ceausescu.

Academia Catavencu : Noi vrem democrație, nu bani pentru căței !

de Spartakus

Revenit de la Washington, unde probabil a mai stat încă o zi după investirea lui Trump fiindcă trebuia să dea cineva și cu mopul prin hotel, după atâția turiști, Găurel Dragnea a avut exact aceeași surpriză ca și Nicolae Ceaușescu după întoarcerea din Iran, pe 20 decembrie 1989: în stradă îl așteptau zeci de mii de oameni, ieșiți de la Brăila la București să scandeze contra lui. Și, tot ca și Ceaușescu, care vedea mâna agenturilor străine (ce vreți, Soroș nu se inventase încă sau îi era lui Ceașcă greu să-i pronunțe numele, că era sâsâit), Dragnea ne-a anunțat că suntem în plină mineriadă, la începutul unei lovituri de stat.

La canalele TV (se numesc astfel pentru că sunt mai apropiate de niște canale de dejecții menajere decât de niște posturi de televiziune) România TV și Antena 3, toate canaliile mai că dăduseră în bâlbâială încercând să convingă telespectatorii lobotomizați că Iohannis, abia venit cu bricheta aprinsă de la Bamboo, vrea să dea foc la toată țara. Cu acest prilej, vuvuzelele și lingăii cu renume, gen Gâdea, Badea, Ciutacu, Drăgoteasca, au mâncat cantități impresionante de rahat. Cred că zece grame dacă mai halea fiecare și dădea în supradoză de rahat, de nu-i mai salva nici SMURDU! Am aflat, spre marele meu regret, că adulții participanți la miting au primit câte 100 de lei, copiii câte 50 de lei, iar câinii, veniți și ei în număr mare, câte 30 de lei, dar numai dacă lătrau pe trei voci ”PSD – ciuma roșie!” și ”Democrație, nu amnistie!” Nu m-am putut abține să nu-mi imaginez câte mii de lei aș fi putut încasa, dacă o convingeam pe vecina mea de la parter, doamna Mariana, care are prin casă o colecție de potăi adunate de mila hingherilor, să vină și ea la miting și să facem banii jumi-juma.

Dar să lăsăm câinii plătiți de Soroș în pace și să revenim la oamenii din Piață. Am văzut aseară, pe Facebook, o mulțime de indignați întrebând ”Dar unde au fost mitingiștii ăștia la alegeri? Atunci de ce n-au ieșit la vot?” Bă-băieți, sunteți într-o mare eroare: cine a avut ieri spiritul civic să iasă în stradă sigur a avut spiritul civic să iasă și pe 11 decembrie la vot. Alții n-au ieșit la vot, pentru că și atunci, și acum, erau pline mallurile de ei, și nici n-o să iasă prea curând, dar asta e altă problemă. Important este acum că le-am arătat mafioților ăștia care, dacă i-au votat 3 milioane de amețiți și prostiți, se erijează în reprezentanții ”poporului”, că au întins destul coarda. Și mai important e că i-am făcut să iasă la joc și știm deja cum vor juca: pe cartea pe care au jucat-o și înaintașii lor. Ceaușescu, în 1989, nu spunea că manifestanții de la Timișoara, Cluj, Arad sau București ieșiseră în stradă fiindcă se săturaseră de frig, foame, frică și mizerie, în schimb îi acuza că sunt plătiți de „agenturilii străine”. Iliescu, în 1990, nu sufla o vorbuliță că ”golanii” umpluseră Piața Universității spre a protesta împotriva democrației de cumetrie pe care otreapa kaghebistă o instalase. Acum, Dragnea vorbește despre mineriade, despre lovituri de stat, dar nu adaugă și că mișcările de ieri au fost declanșate de lovitura pe care chiar ei, penalii, voiau s-o dea statului de drept. Mai mult, cerând jandarmeriei să-și retragă oamenii de la sediul PSD, doar-doar manifestanții îl vor distruge, Dragnea repetă isprava lui nen-so Iliescu, care, în 13 iunie, poruncea incendierea autobuzelor poliției, ca să aibă motiv să spună că ”golanii” le-au dat foc și să cheme minerii.

Izbucnirea de furie a străzii i-a speriat pe mafioții care fac și desfac legi, dar nu e de ajuns. Cu spectrul pușcăriei suflându-i în ceafă, Dragnea n-o să se lase și o să încerce, în mod sigur, să se joace iar de-a amnistia și grațierea. În materie de șmecherii, imaginația penalilor nu are limită și de aceea trebuie să stăm cu ochii pe ei. Ca să-și salveze pielea, ticăloșii nu vor ezita să arunce țara în haos, fără să le pese de consecință, doar ei să scape de pușcărie. Mai ceva decât ciomagării lui Groza și Dej din 46, indivizii ăștia amenință acum să aducă la manifestațiile contra elefanților Amni și Grați zeci de mii de votanți PSD, ca să arate că și ei pot scoate lumea în stradă. Singura problemă e că, după ce selfie-ul mișcat cu masa lui Trump l-a cam uscat de dolărei, nu știu de unde o să mai găsească Dragnea atâția bani să aducă o sută de mii de șoșonari în Piața Victoriei, cum susținea ieri la TV puțica aia cu urechi pe nume Codrin Ștefănescu. Fiindcă votanții PSD, dacă nu primesc un ulei, un zahăr, o găleată, o bancnotă cu Caragiale, nu-ți ies nici la poartă, să-ți dea bună ziua. Și hai, că pentru bipezii vag alfabetizați care au votat cu Partidul s-or mai găsi bani, dar de unde faci, făi, Dragneo, rost de-atâtea zeci de lei pentru fiecare papagal care a votat cu PSD, că din ăștia sunt cel puțin trei milioane?!

"Films move forward like trains in the night, says François Truffaut in Day for Night, making an incisive analogy between the long succession of train carriages passing through a dark landscape and the implacable forward motion of stories, which – in contrast to real life – tolerate no down time. One could say the same thing about memory – except that memory involves a backward motion: Its tension is directed towards an often uncertain past rather than a pre-determined dénouement. In the night, as in the clatter of memories, time loses its measurable and regular dimension. It jumps from one image to the next, mindless of the years that separate them; it manifests itself in sudden apparitions and accelerations. Memories surface without warning, deformed by their speed, transformed by virtue of inscrutable connections and bifurcations. Sometimes they derail; at any moment the past and the present may collide."

– from the essay Night Train by Sonia Voss "Saturn Devouring his Son is one of Goya's Black Paintings. Saturn devours each of his new-born sons in an attempt to forestall a prophesy that one day he will be driven from his own kingdom by his son. […] Intergenerational cannibalism, as handed down through the myth of Saturn, throws its shadow on the mineriad, which brought hope for a democratic upheaval in Romania to an abrupt end. Under the guise of 'original democracy', the monster that destroys the hope for a new way of living turns out to be the old leadership obsessed by its efforts to maintain power. The shocking experience of the mineriad would ensure the continued existence of the old power elite. […] The events in Romania are not an isolated phenomenon. In the Romanian press, the brutal attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 was likened to the mineriad."

– from the essay Saturn Devours its Children by Lotte Laub

'Mineriada' is a sarcastic term that combines the Romanian word ‘miner’ with the suffix ’-iada’ like in ‘olimpiada’ (Olympics), quasi, the Miner’s Olympics. As a teenager, I took part in the pro-European demonstrations and experienced some of the dramatic events myself. 

MINERIADA addresses the societal division that led Romania into a decade of isolation. The starting point are ten photographs taken by my father depicting the devastation in Bucharest of June 1990. In a retrospective from Strasbourg, via Bucharest to Petrosani, the work examines the sites of the events and the unspoken trauma of physical violence, when thousands of instigated regime-loyal miners were brought in to the capital by trains and buses to brutally bludgeon students and the pro-European opposition.

Despite a verdict by the European Court of Human Rights in 2014, the aggressions from those days remain unresolved, and the dead have not been atoned for.

Based on research into justice discourses, MINERIADA addresses the latency of the suppressed past and raises awareness of recursive events, in a world that is once again becoming increasingly polarized.

Following Mobile Churches, 2017, and LAST CHRISTMAS (of Ceausescu), 2020, MINERIADA, 2022, is the last part of my trilogy, published by Kehrer Verlag, Heidelberg. The monograph was realized with the support of the Visual Arts Research Stipend of the Senate Department for Culture and Europe, Berlin, and the Publication Grant of the Stiftung Kulturwerk, Bonn. In October 2023, the book was awarded the bronze medal in the Fine Art category of the 2023-24 German Photo Book Prize, and was on view at Städtische Galerie, Regensburg and Goethe-Institut, Hong Kong, among other places.

They’re being utterly fucking desperate. Lots of shit’s getting prosecuted, lots of invulnerables are either already in prison or heading there in weeks/months….heck, even Iliescu has been accused of crimes against humanity for the Mineriads and that dude was the definition of untouchable for 25 years. Either they do this precise bullshit, or they go to prison. It’s why I’m kinda hopeful - low chance we’ll be able to stop this, but if we do, it’ll have great results

One imagines having this many people in the streets yell FUCK OFF CUNTS would be enough, but that would also be naive of me to think this way. Still. Nice to see their position isn’t all that monolithic. Guess being kinda-sorta hopeful isn’t uncalled for.

Last night listening to live news about the protest from Victoria Square, I was afraid that things would start escalating to the point of something like the Mineriade. I wasn’t even born when those tool place, but they’re sound so awful. I’m truly starting to fear the state of this country

tbh if you get to learn about the mineriade stuff, you acknowledge that there are some recurring strategies used by the ruling party

[century-child]

Why will it never happen? Have some hope things may change for the better (or at least I wish it would).

@op saying Romania should treat Antonescu as Germany treats Hitler and me saying it will never happen.

it will never happen because we don’t really study history in general and if we do it’s very washed and not dealing with the hard parts. If you don’t even learn about it, you will never own up to it. And to change the curriculum is just a fight you will never win.

Next, Antonescu was long presented as this strong military man who lead Romania and all of his horrors are just an appendix. Speaking of his victims, they weren’t white. And while Romania is overwhelmingly white, we don’t really care as a nation about ethnicities. After all, how many people still remember that gypsies were actually slaves in Romania.

To tie it all up, we don’t want to think of Holocaust in Romania. That’s very Germany, not us. It also has to do with the Communist occupation. We don’t really think of Nazi Romania because we just know Communist Romania.

Plus, we are not good at serving justice for our past crimes. That was so long ago people won’t care. Look at the revolution or mineriade. That was 20 some years ago and no one is really to blame, no one knows the whole story.
