Era bine pe vremea lui Ceaușescu? Dosarele Secu: 200 oameni la coadă la carne la 21.00, se dă numai 2 kg • Newsweek România

Newly released documents from CNSAS reveal the harsh realities of life in Romania during Ceaușescu's regime in the 1980s, highlighting severe food shortages and long queues for basic goods. Despite official propaganda claiming agricultural success, the reality was marked by inadequate production and poor living conditions. Citizens often faced humiliation waiting for food, with many expressing their frustrations openly, leading to surveillance by the Securitate. The documents illustrate a stark contrast between the regime's portrayal of prosperity and the actual struggles of the population.
