IICCMER cere din nou retragerea monumentului lui Adrian Păunescu din centrul Bucureștiului: A fost promotor al propagandei comuniste

The IICCMER requests the removal of the monument dedicated to Adrian Păunescu, citing his role in promoting communist propaganda. This request revives a 14-year-old initiative against the bust's installation. IICCMER emphasizes that the call is not about Păunescu's literary work but his public role during the communist regime. The institute highlights his leadership of the 'Flacăra' magazine and the cultural events that supported Ceaușescu's ideology. They warn that keeping the monument may distort historical perceptions of communism. A presidential commission report also critiques Păunescu's contributions to the regime's propaganda.
