Log-book: 7th August

In the morning the group of Laila, Esther, Martin and Diana went to see the Gypsy whom Bálint and Zsófi already met. He talked about how he found God, about the bad relationship with his wife who drank too much and cut herself. He wanted a new wife. He played the accordion but didn’t have an instrument. He was in a good relationship with the priest who gave him cigarettes. But sometimes only half a pack so that he will work because he always had a break when he smoked. Then they spoke to the Orthodox priest who was 39. He just won a trial and with it the right to build a church. He was scared that they were from the press and publishing unreal information. He invited the group to have from his home made palinka. He built the main part of the church from his own money. He was the son of the priest. It wasn’t good to be the son of a priest in the army. In order to avoid this, he studied theology and law. His wife is a schoolteacher. He would like his son to study theology but will not force him. When he lost his church, the people of Roşia Montană helped him a lot. He is trying to repay them this loyalty. He cannot say for or against. He said that the situation is very uncertain.

On the mine trip the joined group of Bálint and Diana went on a mine trip. Their guide told many stories, for example about the man, who was pretending to be very rich by putting stones in a sack an some gold on the top of it, and he hide it in a room. Since he was also all the time visiting the doctor, everyone thought that he is seriously ill. So this way he got five wives – all of them died in the same way: they searched for the sack, and when they found the stones, they got a heart attack. The weirdest theory that we’ve heard of him is that the Corporation is not there for the gold but for the uranium and the plutonium and they are cooperating with the NASA). (Hinsenkamp Fanni)
