Andrei Plesu is an important Romanian intellectual: a philosopher and politician, he is one of the few in the elite group of people who thrived in the old Communist regime and are still thriving now. He is, in my country, the 1%.
This is an excerpt from an interview published in the online edition of Adevarul (The Truth, Pravda, etc etc). The period mentioned by Andrei Plesu is his mandate at the External Affairs Ministry.
"I have said it before: having to deal, for two years, with almost all the important leaders of the world, I came to the conclusion that I am handed the proof for the existence of God. Because too rarely these leaders had the capacity to undertake such wide scopes. So I came to believe that, since with its "managers" now, the world is still working, the merit is that of the Grace of God..."
Right. So the world is working because of the 1%?
What exactly is Andrei Plesu saying? He explains how without the rich people and the church people this world cannot function. The 99% ? Irrelevant.
