A Romanian senator submitted an interpellation to the Prime Minister, outlining a context of heightened international security pressures layered with Ukraine and Middle East conflicts, plus energy and inflation challenges at home. He notes Romania’s 10% inflation, 60% of GDP public debt, and 12 billion euros in planned 2026 interest payments, alongside a CSAT-approved temporary deployment of American military assets in Romania (aircraft refueling, monitoring equipment, and satellite communications linked to the Deveselu shield), with access to the classified file limited to 64 MPs. The senator asks what concrete steps the government will take to secure the removal of US travel visas for Romanians, arguing that Europeans enjoy reciprocity while Romanians face visa restrictions. He points to the US DHS decision to exclude Romania from the Visa Waiver Program planned for spring 2025, citing security concerns and ongoing verification needs, and asks for a concrete government plan to advocate for visa-free travel for Romanians to the United States.
