For the previous three episodes of this ongoing series, see the below. As the reader will note, I have changed the title from articles to media, to include video/film, etc.
The many manipulations of Mihalache continue here in “Decembrie rosu” episode 9 about Sibiu. Admittedly, I have not yet gone through this in detail, but one should note Mihalache’s selection of interlocutors: the head of a local revolutionary organization (Nicolae Puiu Fesan), a cleric on the side of the revolutionaries, a well-known controversial lawyer (Nicolae Uca), a former Army officer (Francisc Toba), and via selective phone clips Aurel Dragomir (former army commander over Sibiu during the events)…but exactly who are Mihalache’s star interlocutors, who dominate the conversation and shape the narrative…ah, but of course, the former Securitate: 1) Gnl. Bg (r) Nichifor Ignat; 2) Col. (r) Viorel Sarbu; 3) Col (r) Ioan Botarel, and 4) Lt. Col. (r) V. Manfred Burtea.
For now, I leave the reader to sift through the details of the following, which includes the names of a hell of a lot of people who would have been better interlocutors, than offering the floor to the former Securitate and embracing their revisionist falsehoods.
