USR's Rodeanu: Army's endowment programme, a national and international priority

The endowment programme of the Romanian Army represents both a national and a international priority, since we undertook to contribute to the defence of the NATO and EU borders, the USR (Save Romania Union) Deputy Bogdan Rodeanu, deputy head of the Committee for defence, public order and national security, said on Saturday. 

USR also claimed in a post on Facebook that "the new scandal related to the tender organised by the Ministry of National Defence for the corvettes proved that PSD (Social Democratic Party) and Dragnea (Liviu Dragnea, the leader of PSD and Speaker of the Deputies Chamber - editor's note) are incapable of finalizing any agreement, including the most important ones, that have to do with the Army." 

"This blockage, simultaneously with the attack against the chief of the Army, does nothing else but destabilizes the Eastern flank of NATO, while directly serving the Russian interests instead, in the context in which Russia is fighting to take control of the Black Sea," said the abovementioned source. 

Thus, the USR Deputy Bogdan Rodeanu stated that: "Dragnea's PSD must understand that the Army's endowment programe is not an objective from their colour book named "Governing Programme," but a national and international priority, since we undertook to contribute to the defence of the NATO and EU borders."
