NICOLAE CEAUSESCU: I only recognize the Grand National Assembly. I will only speak in front of it.
PROSECUTOR: In the same way he refused to hold a dialogue with the people, now he also refuses to speak with us. He always claimed to act
and speak on behalf of the people, to be a beloved son of the people, but he only tyrannized the people all the time. You are faced with
charges that you held really sumptuous celebrations on all holidays at your house. The details are known. These two defendants procured the
most luxurious foodstuffs and clothes from abroad. They were even worse than the king, the former king of Romania. The people only received 200 grams per day, against an identity card. These two defendants have robbed the people, and not even today do they want to talk. They are cowards. We have data concerning both of them. I ask the chairman of the prosecutor’s office to read the bill of indictment.
