Reaction from the PNL after the AfD head’s accusations: “Romanians are not robbing Germany and do not deserve to be insulted”

PNL deputy Robert Sighiartău conveyed, on Tuesday, to the leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel, that Romanians in the diaspora are not second-class European citizens and he has no right to put an offensive label on an entire community.

“Mrs. Alice Weidel, Romanians are not robbing Germany. Romanians work and contribute to Germany’s prosperity! Almost a million Romanian citizens live in Germany. Hundreds of thousands of them work honestly, pay taxes and contributions and participate directly in the performance of one of the world’s strongest economies. They are doctors, engineers, workers, entrepreneurs and people who raise their children through work and sacrifice. These people do not deserve to be insulted and transformed in political targets. It deserves respect!” wrote Sighiartău on Facebook.

He showed that, if there are social frauds, they must be investigated and sanctioned.

“But you have no right to put an offensive label on an entire community. Romanians from the diaspora are not second-class European citizens. And their dignity is not negotiable!”, Sighiartău also conveyed to the AfD leader.

And the USR president, Dominic Fritz, asked the leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel, to apologize for the statements according to which more and more migrants from Romania are abusing the German social system.

“Any Romanian who works 10-hour shifts in a German slaughterhouse, so that you can eat a cheap schnitzel on Sunday, has more decency than you. And if we still got here: two weeks ago you repeated Putin’s false narrative, that in Romania there are missiles with nuclear capability on the border, directed towards Russia. The truth is that here is a defensive shield, with which Romania defends the eastern flank of NATO. And so we, whom you accuse us of “Robbery, we’ll protect your ass. With pleasure! Today is a good day to apologize, Mrs. Weidel,” said Dominic Fritz.
