Meanwhile, Crin Antonescu returned to his statement on Friday, and motivated that “it was an unfortunate expression, under the empire of emotion.”
“The solution of shooting on the stadiums is patented to us by CV Tudor. So, C. Antonescu wants the reintroduction of the death penalty, but this cannot be as long as Romania is an EU member. Moreover, shooting “on stadiums”. That is, not at the wall, not in the back yard of the prison, but on stadiums, because Mr. Antonescu assumes that thousands of Romanians will be eager to see and hear the fall, moans, blood and the last rumors of those executed … After that, the same C. Antonescu, plays black-and: «On the other hand, I am not going to reinstate the death penalty»“, wrote CTP.
