Post-totalitarian blues

According to CSAFS (the Council for Studies of the Archives of the Former Securitate), 20 candidates for mayor worked with the secret police during the communist regime. The council has not pointed the persons, but stated that 14 were mere informers (the lowest rank), four were officers and two were collaborators. Their files were sent to the Court of Bucharest for further investigation. CSAFS also stated that they are sure that 407 candidates don't have ties linking them to the oppression apparatus of the old regime.
Note: Thousands of files were burned in the events of December 1989.
