“To refuse with proletarian hatred, in 2025, the entrance among the members of the Romanian Academy of the most appreciated, translated and award -winning Romanian writer, Mircea Cărtărescu, reveals the face of a generic creature that some believed disappeared and decomposed in the last 35 years, but who suddenly opens his sinful eyes: The licheaua appeared from the moral darkness of communism, the frustrated, rancid, abused, blind to value and admiration, but red of the lust for high spheres, even under the dome of a former venerable institutions that received it in it.
Due to the radial effects of the presence of this creature with a worrying public status of “immortal”, the number of the most valuable cultural people in Romania (VA) increases exclusively outside the space covered by post-Ceauser ultranationalism and poisoned by hatred of authentic freedom, otherness , intellectual Europeanity and royalty.
The “bottomless form” not only follows us and desolates us, but surpasses us, waiting for us by grinning in the proximity and probably golden future of this sad, humorous and humorous country.“, Said Bănescu
Mircea Cărtărescu, the contemporary Romanian writer who enjoys the greatest recognition at national and international level, missed the opportunity to become a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy, only one vote away.
“Unfortunately, he fell to the vote of the General Assembly, today, at a distance from a vote. He had to take 74 votes to have two thirds of the number of voters and obtained only 73. It is a great opinion for us, because he was supported with a lot of section, but … “, said prof. Dr. Rodica Zafiu, head of the Academy’s Philology Section, quoted by Edrudu.ro.
Even the poet Ana Blandiana, a corresponding member of the Academy, came with a harsh statement following the call made by the writer Valeriu Matei.
“After the candidacy of Mircea Cărtărescu at the entrance to the Romanian Academy was unanimously voted by the Literature-Filology Section, a slanderous, violent and hateful call-which pleaded for the writer’s rejection and finally won the cause-a was distributed to all members of the Academy in the rest of the sections“, The poet wrote on Facebook.
