Rareș Bogdan, PNL MEP, for his part had a first reaction after the announcement of the US withdrawal of a military battalion from Romania.
He says that the decision to move 800 American soldiers from Romania is not the happiest news.
“Let’s not pretend that nothing happened, in the sweet Dambovița style. About 1,000 soldiers remain in our country, the rest will help strengthen the northern part of NATO’s eastern flank, to support Poland, the Baltic States and Ukraine. The decision was taken on Monday (!!) at the Alliance meeting, so it must be urgently explained to Romanian citizens by the Ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs. Transparency and clean information. It is it’s crucial for people not to panic, because the moment will be full of misinformation and propaganda. Life must continue without fear, and a cloudy climate is not a good place for investors. Let’s keep calm and be transparent with the Romanian citizen, precisely so that we don’t fall prey to misinformation, a strategic partner, with everything what it means, remains a priority for the USA, the Deveselu and Turzii Plains, the 101st Airborne Task Force Division are not stories. Let’s not sleep on one’s ear, let’s not be duplicitous! The relationship with America is being built.”writes Rareș Bogdan.
The MEP believes that the promises of the NATO Alliance are sacred and if any danger threatens Romania, the United States of America and NATO will be with the Romanian people.
“As a NATO ally, you can have this confidence: No one will be able to take away your country’s freedom. Joining NATO will make Romania safer, and Romania will contribute to the strength of the NATO Alliance as we face unprecedented new dangers. The American administration knows geography and knows that without a strong and stable Romania, Eastern Europe falls and the Russians move to the Carpathians. It is not for nothing that we have a heavy part of the shield on the territory anti-missile. There are already dangerous outposts in the EU, so a friend like Romania is a diamond. This partnership can only be pulverized by us. Although a year has passed since the US elections, not everyone in Bucharest understood who the White House is. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are not to be overlooked. Some are still dreaming of October 2024 and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden moments, but that game is over. We have to work with the Republican administration. So act!“, concludes Rareș Bogdan his long comment.
