Romania's Minister of European Funds, Mihai Ghigiu, urges the Defense and Foreign Affairs ministers to renegotiate contracts with Rheinmetall, despite potential penalties. He believes Romania should seek a new chance from Brussels to address issues in these contracts, acknowledging past mistakes. Rheinmetall has secured a significant contract worth €5.7 billion for military equipment, including Lynx vehicles and naval vessels, with production set to expand in Romania. Deliveries are expected between 2028 and 2030, following Rheinmetall's acquisition of the Mangalia Shipyard for construction.
