[edit]

Hi everybody: I would like to add that Monica Macovei is now a political advisor to the government of Macedonia (which significantly improved in the new Transparency International-ranking published just in late September).

I have an internet link from a German (political) foundation, so the document is in German only (see last page). http://www.kas.de/db_files/dokumente/laenderberichte/7_dokument_dok_pdf_11604_1.pdf

The foundation mentions that the engagement is paid by the British government. A nice sum of 600000 Euros (but including all expenses like travelling). I think it would be nice to know, what she is doing now. But I could almost nowhere better information. Maybe someone could put it in... as a first example, something like this:

"Today she is a potical advisor to the Macedonian government in matters of fighting corruption." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.18.110.86 (talk) 00:21, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

[edit]

Well, I presume we all agree in saying that most Romanian politicians have done heavily illegal stuff. The word "civil society" is still a joke in Romania, used by many hypocrites to get western support while doing nothing (or stealing) and still avoiding criticism.

I'm sorry, but for Macovei the evidence is clear, and everyone of us knows it. Regardless of how "civil" she was and/or is, she is a thief and this must be said. BTW, you en-4 guys, how do you translate "trafic de influenta" and "abuz de autoritate"? Dpotop 14:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no clear evidence against Macovei. Indeed, the case was judged by a different set of judges than the initial one. But there is no evidence that Macovei is linked to this change. There are clues that the other family involved in the case (Popa), may be the cause of the change (the husbant of the judge Luana Stancu was a pacient of Dr.Bogdan Popa), see: [1]. In March 2006, the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) has decided to exclude judge Danuţ Cornoiu (the chief of Luana Stancu) because of his actions in this case. The CSM's investigations, as well as those of National Anticorruption Department (DNA), indicate that Luana Stancu has requested this case to do a favour to the doctor that operated her husband, according to the testimony of Margareta Ionescu, the initial judge of the case. See: [2] and [3]. Razvan Socol 16:57, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but the evidence was NOT clear against Macovei and everyone does "not know it." It is more obvious in the cases which Macovei and her team have begun to prosecute. Now that Romania is in the EU, it is easier for her to be targeted by those who opposed her reforms.MIsterMan 20:57, 26 February 2007 (UTC) I would suggest that everybody reads Curriculum vitae of Ms. Macovei at http://www.ziare.com/comentopedia/Monica_Macovei Ms.Macovei apart form posing as the anti corruption icon is operating her commercial business of fighting corruption. In 2008 according to this newspaper Ms.Macovei cashed 100 000 Euro from the British Embassy in Skopje. it is not revealed how much money she made in total on "fighting corruption'. Somebody should edit this part of article on Monica Macovei, how fast she transferred from being employed by the Romanian government to being employed by the British Government. What she was doing after she was fired as Minister of Justice and before she became Member of European Parliament. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.210.136.48 (talk) 16:10, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism, part 2

[edit]

Some Macovei crackpot fan continually wipes all criticism into the last section of the article while pushing laudatory prose into the lead. Due to lack of time I only required the "controversial" adjective in the lead. But no, the Macovei fan wants to delete it saying that "This adjective is not used for Iliescu, Tariceanu, Basescu -- who have also had controversies." This is blatantly POV and obvious bad faith because:

  1. For Iliescu you have a full paragraph in the lead on his "crimes against humanity" investigation.
  2. For Basescu there is no laudatory lead. Just the facts (president, previously mayor), and a huge "Criticism" section following.
  3. The CPT article is not yet structured, unlike this one. And, BTW, the article does not contain quasi-religious praises.

So: either you accept a full paragraph on critique in the lead, or you remove all the propaganda from the lead, and leave just the simple facts, or you leave my "controversial" mark in place. Dpotop 15:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propoganda? They are facts:

  1. Minister Macovei did disband the Justice Ministry's secret service;
  2. She did create the National Integrity Agency;
  3. She was publicly credited by EU officials (and much of media inside and outside of Romania) of reforming the Justice Ministry, thereby allowing Romania to enter the EU -- Justice was credited as being the toughest chapter;
  4. She did oppose the Parliament when it sought to remove authorities from the DNA (previously PNA), which has the mandate of investigating MPs and other high officials;
  5. While she was Minister, the DNA did undertake more high profile investigations and issue at least one high profile indictment.
  6. And she is politically independent, regardless of which officials may or may not support her.

To leave out these facts would be presenting an inaccurate and incomplete picture.

Non-NPOV was previously a more serious of problem when the article included primarily criticism and hearsay presented as fact. Comments such as "Basescu's pawn" or "drinking buddy" are hardly NPOV. The discussion of NGOs only demonstrating on her behalf because of MOJ contracts is also a dangerous stretch -- they much more likely demonstrated on her behalf because she used to work with them in civil society, and they support her reform efforts. But one journalist did make this allegation regarding the MOJ contracts, so it remains in the criticism section.

In the spirit of NPOV, if you'll notice the DIICOT paragraph in the criticism section was expanded and cleaned up.

I'll not use names like crackpot. I think it's time for others to focus more on this article so this impasse can end.MIsterMan 18:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is the "National Integrity Agency" active? Anonimu 19:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, propaganda. The fact that the parliament voted against Macovei is also a fact, but you chose to hide it later in the article. As to "Basescu's pawn", this is exactly like text you added on Macovei as a butterfly. :):):) Dpotop 20:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
See attached link on National Integrity Agency. [4]
So it doesn't exist. The article should be modified to state ANI is just a proposal, not a creation of this lady. Anonimu 20:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A center exists but the agency is being prevented. [5]
The centre and the agency are 2 different thingsAnonimu 22:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I find the leading paragraph very POV and clearly biased considering this is the biography of a living politician (and considering the pretty large criticism section that maybe could be trimmed down a bit). Surely you can do better then the unsourceable "Macovei's efforts against high-level corruption also earned her many political enemies in Romania". How about just say what she was in the government, the basic facts, and then put whatever positive results she may have had in the following section, before the criticism one ? --Helixdq 19:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV check

[edit]

Multiple editors, myself included, found statements in this article not supported by the sources cited. It needs a more thorough inspection. Pcap ping 06:24, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now I have an idea how this came to be. Some unregistered editors add text not supported from the sources already cited, but in a way that gives the appearance that it comes from those sources. Pcap ping 10:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Party membership?

[edit]

Lead says PDL, infobox says independent. I take it she joined it at some point. Someone care to clarify? Pcap ping 16:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good job. Pcap ping 23:11, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
