Fico’s Government Of Revenge and Revision
30 November 2023
The numerous High-ranking officials that have committed intellectual fraud over the years have become a constant reality on Romanian television, highlighting the structural issues that reign all sectors of society.
In January 2022, Romanian PM Nicolae Ciucă was alleged to have plagiarised his PhD by the investigative journalist, Emilia Șercan. In 2020, the Dean of the Romanian Police Academy, Ștefan Cristian-Eduard was found not only to have plagiarised his PhD but the successive 60 books he had published since taking the leadership position in 2016. These are only a couple notable examples, but the problem of plagiarism is rife.
Academic plagiarism in Romania has been making headlines in the past decade, with politicians and high-ranking bureaucrats found guilty of falsifying their theses. Plagiarism not only diminishes the trust in academic institutions but weakens democracy as it allows people to attain leading roles in all ways possible.
