The Foundation for the Defense of the Citizen Against State Abuses (FACIAS) has asked the government for an explanation, which recently approved a Decision that made changes to the inventory of public property administered by MAPN.


There is both a logical flaw in the act and a completely arbitrary decision by the legislator. Thus, in the explanatory note to the decision, it is stated that "documents are not classified within the Ministry of National Defence" (page 2) and that "the extracts from the centralised inventory of the buildings covered by this draft normative act contain only unclassified information" (page 5). However, annexes 1-4, which are an integral part of the decision, are classified, as the draft normative act states that "annexes 1-4 are classified as service secrets".


It is natural to wonder what the reasons were for classifying the annexes listing the real estate to which the Decision refers, given that, with one exception, all other documents and extracts relating to this land and real estate are unclassified information.


If this was not a clerical error in the drafting of the decision, we are faced with an extremely dangerous practice, which shows opacity in the administration and in the legislative process, without any solid basis for this (such as, for example, information relating to Romania's national security exempted by the law on free access to information of public interest).
