Mihai Fifor: România are un împrumut de aproape 16 miliarde de euro prin SAFE. „Putem redeveni jucători”
Mihai Fifor emphasizes the importance of using Romania's SAFE loan not just for military purchases but to enhance national defense industry capabilities. He discusses the EU's evolving security architecture, highlighting the need for a stronger European defense without duplicating NATO. Fifor advocates for a European Security Council and a new European Security Strategy, aiming for a coordinated response to threats below armed aggression. He stresses that Romania should leverage the SAFE funds for technological development and innovation in defense, rather than mere acquisitions, to strengthen its position in the European security framework. A firm foreign policy and predictable internal policies are essential for Romania's strategic industries.
