Former Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena will be exhumed to prove that they are buried at the Ghencea Civil cemetery. In politics, everything evolves around the EC report published yesterday and President Basescu's dissatisfied comments on the report. Elsewhere in the news, Romania exports more tropical fruits than carrots, apples, pears or cucumbers even though we are not a tropical country.
After 21 years, former Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena will be exhumed in an attempt to prove that they were actually buried there. The exhumation is done at the request of their son, Valentin Ceausescu and Mircea Oprean, the husband of Zoe Ceausescu. Biological data will be elevated and sent at a lab for a DNA test.
The remainings will be re-buried afterward. Valentin Ceausescu and Mircea Oprean recently inherited the graves after years of processes. In June 2008, the Bucharest Appellate Court decided to compel Romania's Defense ministry to present the two certain evidence that Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were buried.
Mircea Oprean said that the family needs to know for certain where they were buried. He said that the military were in charge with the funeral at the time and it is impossible that the Defense ministry does not have any evidence of the happening at the time.
The two have been struggling in trials for years to receive the right to exhume the remainings of the Ceausescu family and find out whether they are buried there or not. The two said that if the two are not buried there, then they will sue the state.
In politics, all eyes are watching the reaction of the Romanian politicians after the European Commission published its report on the state of justice in Romania. Especially, on Basescu's comments on the report.
