Summary/Abstract: Monica Lovinescu condemns some of the Romanian intellectual's attitude, who, in their attempt to explain why Romania is slow in achieving democracy and as a result delayed from entering the EU structures, charge all guilt on the interwar period, too often presented as dominated exclusively by fascism and extemism, while the 50 years period of communism with disastrous consequences is silently omitted. This attitude shown by some of Romanians is not an isolate one, Monica Lovinescu quotes Alain Besancon - outraged too at the same attitude.
