ABSTRACT: Third but certainly not last episode of the defamatory campaign against the Radical Party carried out by the so-called weekly "Spionaj si Contraspionaj". This "article" focuses on the subversive activities carried out by the bad guys Olivier Dupuis and Massimo Lensi, notorious Hungarian spies who head the Rumanian branch of the secret society TRP to attempt against the security and territorial integrity of the country.

(Bucharest - Spionaj si Contraspionaj, 17 September 1992)

I am a Rumanian - a former member of the TRP - who, after the disclosures of the magazine "Espionage and Counter-espionage" wants to draw public attention - starting with the official authorities charged with safeguarding the security and integrity of Rumania - on the following facts: the documentary published by "Spionaj si Controspionaj" gives a faithful account of the anti-Rumanian and pro-Hungarian subversive nature of this party-Masonic lodge. Precisely this fact caused the violent reaction of the leaders of the TRP, especially of the West Hungarian spy Olivier Dupuis, who fears that if the unmasking continues, the opportunities to officialize and extend the transnational radical activity in Rumania could seriously diminish.

Concerned about the fact that many members quit the TRP lately following these revelations, the direction of the party in Budapest decided to intensify "work" relations in order to discourage and defections and to rectify the situation. To support this action it has also activated the head office of the Transnational Radical Party in Rome, which in the month of August sent Massimo Lensi there to get in touch with some fundamental Rumanian who will be trained in order to work more consistently. Among the persons contacted: Stan Constantin, TRP activist, Mihai Rumnaciuc, member of the direction of the TRP's Bucharest branch, Sever Avram, a journalist who writes for "The Free Youth", Alin Alexandru from "L'Expres". According to what Olivier Dupuis and some of them told me, these are paid in hard currency and have free travel both inside Rumania and abroad. In the interest of the TRP, Olivier Dupuis asked - both directly and through Massimo Lensi - the members of the Bucharest branch to undertake the following a

ctions:

- gather information concerning the evolution of the electoral campaign, especially on the backstage political games;

- obtain and implement data concerning the candidates for the elections and the MPs who will be elected on the computer of the TRP's office in Beldman street n.1, an apartment rented with another pretext by a private individual;

- get in touch with all Rumanian members of the TRP and ask them to clear their situation, their current position towards the TRP and whether or not they will stand for candidate to Parliament;

- contact the leaders of the political parties in order to recruit new members or to continue the radical activity. We can cite contacts had with Mr. Otto Weber and Mr. Gheorghi Nicolae and Burtea Vasile, both members of the direction of the Ethnic Federation of Gypsies. During the meetings Mr. Massimo Lensi specified that attention is needed towards the political and economic situation of the Gypsies, to make use of their unrest with the pretext of the supposed absence of rights of this ethnic group.

Among the radical leaders, the one who is most concerned about Rumania and Albania is Mr. Olivier Dupuis. Despite frequent trips this summer to the hottest areas of the former Yugoslavia, he found time to step up the radical activity in Rumania. At the time being he is extremely concerned about knowing the Rumanian reactions, including the press, towards the world congress of Hungarians, the congress of Hungarians of Transilvania and the European conference of Gypsies which took place in Budapest; the way in which the activity of the Soros foundation is viewed; the attacks against the TRP and its members, with special attention to the magazine "Spionaj si Controspionaj".

Despite the disclosures of the press, Olivier Dupuis continues to have a few persons of confidence in Rumania. Among these one of the most zealant is Stan Constantin, a young man from Bucharest, the son of a Hungarian who worked for a publication, A convinced federalist and a lover of anarchist actions, Stan Constantin actively participated in the "Golaniada" on the university square as in the devastating actions of June 1990, after which he fled to Budapest. There he was "instructed" by Olivier Dupuis and others and then returned to Bucharest where he was appointed to the direction of the TRP branch and paid with a salary of $125. He deserves them because he is zealant. He keeps Erno Borbely, Vasile Diacon and other members of the "radical group" of O.Dupuis' thoughts.

Among the "radical problems" that have not been mentioned by his documentary, I would insist on the anti-Rumanian, federalist and pro-Hungarian cooperation of the TRP with the Soros foundation. I am not referring to the fact that both subversive organizations pursue the same objectives, but to their actual cooperation in terms of staff and human resources. One of these refers to the journalist Sever Avram, member of the TRP since 1991. He has recently been transferred to the newspaper "Free Youth" to be "instructed" and "radicalized" in order to please his superiors. To that end the Soros Foundation, at the suggestion of the TRP, offered him a nine-month grant in the West. At the end of August he received the sum granted by the Soros Foundation and will be leaving for his "instruction tour" on 5 September.

The Rumanian branch of the TRP's main concern now are the imminent elections. The radical "rank and file" will need to decide how many radicals are still in Parliament and count the ones who continued their activity within this secret society, as the opportunity of guaranteeing the necessary confidentiality is accepted. At the same time they will explore the possibility of attracting new MPs to the TRP, to recreate "the radical parliamentary group" which could be (or so it is hoped) the most numerous group in the Chamber of Deputies; attempts to recruit members also among the senators are also considered. And, to avoid losing those who have not been re-elected to Parliament, they will contacted and employed in various radical activities in the framework of the extension of the TRP's activity outside Parliament.

Great and perverse plans, perhaps because they are left too free to do as they wish, since the authorities and Parliament itself and the political parties underestimate the danger represented by the TRP; this makes it easier for this anti-Rumanian secret society to continue and spread its activity in Rumania. On the basis of this indifference, which will have serious consequences, the TRP plans to insist in order to obtain the approval of the official nature of its activity in Rumania. Shall we reach this point?

N.R. We appreciate Mr. Aitonea's contribution to information for readers and the authorities regarding the actual danger of the real danger represented by the TRP's activity in Rumania and, as a consequence, we publish the data received in full. Considering the gravity of this problem it is to be hoped that Mr. Aitonean and other readers send us new data concerning the official or clandestine activity of the TRP against Rumania--data which will be made immediately public.

As to the new Parliament, we hope that the reason and the necessary dignity to prevent a foreign secret society from existing within the Rumanian state power from operating against its declared enemies, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Rumania.
