““Stoica was outside the room, and he got another order, a direct and whispered one: "The headquarters are lost, in the enemy's hands. Put an AKM clip in Ceauşescu and one in Elena”. "Then he left me. But the next day on 25th he accused me of treason. Because I didn’t execute his order. I didn’t do it and that was smart because a friend, an officer, had been ordered to open fire with the 14.5mm heavy machine gun on the room holding Ceauşescu if he heard gunshots from inside. ‘Flatten the building’, was the order” confessed Stoica in 1994 in front of the "1989 Commission”.””
