In early October, Frunda also proposed that the law regulating CNSAS activities be amended, in order to automatically include among Securitate collaborators those members of the Romanian Communist Party who held political offices at a central, regional, or local level, and who took part in decision-making regarding political repression. The project drew opposition from the Social Democratic senator Şerban Nicolae, who argued that the text was purposely designed to incriminate former President Ion Iliescu. Defending his bill, Frunda stressed that "it would be hypocritical to condemn Securitate cadres, but not their bosses". In addition, he proposed changes to define as Securitate collaborators those who had acted "with intent".
