Houses of horror - the episode of Bardești, Mureș county

At the end of July, when the echoes of the horror of Goda's family asylums had not yet died down, another horror came to light. In a home in a village in Mureș, seven people were kept in miserable conditions in a basement. They were all in the care of the state and had been sent here to receive proper care for their problems.

The state institutions had made checks after checks at the hostel in question, but they had not found the seven people hidden in the fetid cellar. They were found by the representatives of the Center for Legal Resources, who arrived at the center in Mureș after a referral.

"They were lying on mattresses dirty with feces, urine and blood, with flies on them, from which they could not defend themselves, and they could not call for help."

In another room, "two other people in serious condition, stuck in a room of about 3/2m, without ventilation, without lighting, in a bed. Access to this space was blocked by a metal table on which bricks were placed" - CRJ report.

Two checks by the authorities, just a few days before the CRJ found the people in the basement of the horror asylum in Mureș, had found no irregularities. In total, there were 30 people in Min's Cottage from Bardești, in Mureș.

23 were accommodated in the upper rooms of the dormitory, in slightly better conditions. After authorities descended, they were all taken to hospitals for medical evaluation and then moved. Eight of the people there reached their families.

They were not in the care of the state, but were at the home, after their relatives had admitted them there. The rest came from the public welfare system.

More precisely, five had been sent to Min's House by DGSAPC Sector 6 and 17 - by DGSAPC Covasna. Europa Libera journalists tried to find out what happened to these people whom the state undertook to take care of.
