The Romanian government has introduced a National Strategy to prevent and combat violent extremism, featuring 40 measures aimed at early identification of radicalization, violence prevention in schools, and countering online extremist propaganda. Key initiatives include informing 50,000 parents, training 4,000 school counselors and psychologists, and implementing special procedures for suspected violent extremist behavior. The strategy emphasizes the importance of proactive measures rather than reactive responses to incidents. It also highlights the need for multidisciplinary teams to address individual cases of radicalization and outlines the risks associated with online platforms. The strategy is currently open for public consultation and is set for phased implementation starting in 2027.
