Avertismentul unui general NATO. România ar putea fi nevoită să reintroducă serviciul militar obligatoriu din cauză că nu-și respectă propriile legi

General Virgil Bălăceanu warns that Romania may need to reinstate mandatory military service due to an aging operational reserve and delays in implementing necessary legislation. The government has failed to sign a crucial law that would modernize the military reserve, which could lead to significant vulnerabilities in a crisis. The law, which allows for voluntary military service for individuals aged 18 to 35, has not been validated despite being overdue. Bălăceanu criticizes the government for not prioritizing this legislation, which is essential for national defense, and highlights the fragmented state of society regarding defense responsibilities. He emphasizes the urgency of adopting the necessary regulations to ensure the military's readiness.
