Why did the autopilot disconnected ?

As a result, (TAROM accident see my post above) the Bureau Enquêtes-Accidents recommends:

that a study be launched so that the pilot’s priority over all Automatic Flight Systems is
maintained in all circumstances.

This could be done :

a) by the disconnection of Automatic Flight Systems (automatic pilot and auto-throttle
lever or auto thrust) in the event of conflict between the pilot’s actions and those of the
Automatic Flight System or Flight Director.

b) and/or by clear information in the cockpit (possibly an alarm) warning the flight crew of
such a conflict.

The stall started with the nose up by the PF.

Did the PF started this nose up BEFORE the autopilot disconnected ?
