EXPLICATIV | De ce susțin ”suveraniștii” că 60% din apa UE e în România”. Diana Șoșoacă, atac la ministra Mediului cu un fake grosolan

The false claim that Romania holds 60% of the EU's water resources has resurfaced, fueled by extremist politician Diana Șoșoacă. This misinformation gained traction through social media, particularly after a viral video where Șoșoacă insulted the Minister of Environment. Despite the popularity of this narrative, credible sources indicate that Romania actually possesses only about 3% of the EU's renewable freshwater resources. The exaggerated figures regarding Romania's water potential are misleading and not supported by official data. The recent legislative changes aimed at environmental protection have also sparked a wave of false claims about severe penalties for private water wells, further complicating the public discourse on water resources.
