LEAK: Romanian Speech Proves Planned Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia

An anonymous source close to the Romanian Government forwarded a proposed speech to Radio Free Europe, proving that the Soviets plan to invade Czechoslovakia. It is unclear whether the speech was held during a Warsaw Pact conference or whether it was scrapped for being too critical of the Soviet Union. The Romanian delegation criticises plans by five Warsaw Pact countries to invade Czechoslovakia, calling it a „grave danger to the peace of Europe.“ It is unclear which five countries are meant, but one must assume that the Soviet Union is among them. Romania further calls for more independence and less interference from the Soviet Union. The full speech can be seen below:

Dear comrades. Plenary of the Central Committee of the Party, the State Council, The Government, representatives of the management of public organizations, Trade unions, youth, women, creators' unions, They unanimously decided to express their full solidarity with the Czechoslovak people,

With the Czechoslovak Communist Party Dear comrades, Citizens of the Romanian Land The penetration of the troops of the 5 socialist countries into Czechoslovakia It's a big mistake And a grave danger to the peace of Europe, For the fate of socialism in the world! It's unthinkable in today's world, When peoples rise up to fight to defend their national independence, For equal rights, as a socialist state, For socialist states to violate the freedom and independence of another state There is no justification And no reason can be accepted for admitting, For a moment, only the idea of military intervention In the affairs of a socialist state Our party and state delegation that visited Czechoslovakia last week They convinced themselves that the Czechoslovak people, that the Czechoslovak Communist Party The Czechoslovak working class, old people, women, young people, Unanimously supports the party leadership And to the state to ensure the triumph of socialism in Czechoslovakia The problem of choosing the paths of socialist construction is a problem for each party, Of every state, of every people. No one can become an advisor, A guide of the way socialism should be built! It's the work of every people, And we consider that in order to settle the relations between the socialist countries, Between the communist parties, based on true Marxism-Leninism, It is necessary once and for all to put an end to interference in the affairs of other states, other parties! We are determined to act with all our strength, With all our responsibility, To help find ways to solve it As quickly as possible of this situation created by the penetration of foreign troops into Czechoslovakia, So that the Czechoslovak people can go about their business in peace.
