Romania: private care homes scandal

There is probably no clear-cut answer here, writes theologian Teofil Stanciu in Contributors:

“Was Viorel Pașca acting according to the best of his knowledge and belief, or out of self-interest? For those who have visited his homes (several hundred people), there is no doubt that he has done good. Did he respect the law or break it? Most likely, he was operating in a grey area. How ethical was this? Well, one thing is clear: the state appears to have turned against a man with excessive legal rigour, having left him, through its bureaucratic indifference and institutional helplessness, to deal with a problem for which it itself has no viable solution.”
