IICCMER solicită retragerea din spațiul public a monumentului lui Adrian Păunescu din Sectorul 2

The Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile calls for the removal of the monument dedicated to poet Adrian Păunescu in Bucharest. IICCMER argues that honoring a figure associated with communist propaganda is incompatible with respecting the victims of the regime. They emphasize that the monument represents official recognition and should be reconsidered in light of Păunescu's role in promoting Ceaușescu's ideology. The institute warns that such tributes can foster nostalgic perceptions of communism, highlighting the need for a critical understanding of Romania's communist past.
