Gabriela Firea, the Minister of the Family, published a last-minute statement regarding the horrors discovered in the nursing homes in Bucharest, and this is because she is accused by many of being involved in what happened there, although so far she has not there is an official accusation of DIICOT regarding it.
Gabriela Firea explains below why she is not guilty of what happened in the nursing homes where so many vulnerable people were humiliated, she is also speaking today about the accusations launched by the Romanian Orthodox Church on the same subject, and more details are below now.
"USR can't help it and is climbing on some people's drama again. This is how these politicians appeared in public life and they want to continue like this, making capital from tragedies! Now these politicians are insisting on my resignation, but they are the last ones who can do that, they have no moral right to demand resignations as long as they support in office the mayor general during whose term a woman died mauled by stray dogs.
They did not consider him and his right-hand man guilty, morally or directly, for this tragedy! Nor for the child who was hit by a statue in the hall of the institution, left with the effects of the accident. This is their stake, to support their general mayor who sends handwritten tickets to Urbanism and incites forgery in documents, usurpation of official qualities, who is declared incompatible and many others.
He also lost the opportunity to remain silent on a tragic subject that did not concern him in any way. It is horrible what has happened in these homes for the elderly and disabled! The judiciary and the institutions that have duties to do their job, to reveal those responsible and hold them accountable. If there is even the slightest accusation that directly concerns me, I will not hesitate to withdraw!
Until then, does anyone really believe that I could have turned a blind eye to such suffering if I had known? I cannot endlessly swallow all the unfounded and unverified accusations that are brought to me in the public space, which target my entire family. I dedicated my whole life to people! I helped people as a simple citizen.
As a journalist, in every public office I have held, my whole activity, my whole life, is testimony. "People First!" it was not a simple campaign slogan for me, but a creed. I have never hesitated to lend a helping hand, and I know my soul to the hundreds, thousands of people I have supported over the years."
