Rareș Bogdan, atac frontal la șefa AfD după declarațiile jignitoare: „Românii muncesc, nu cerșesc în Germania!”

A scandal erupted following controversial remarks by AfD leader Alice Weidel regarding Romanian immigrants in Germany. PNL MEP Rareș Bogdan criticized her for hypocrisy, emphasizing that 1.4 million Romanians contribute significantly to the German economy through legal work and taxes. He highlighted their integration into society, stating they do not rely on social aid but actively participate in various sectors. Bogdan rejected the association of Romanians with illegal migration, asserting their rights as EU citizens. He warned that the German economy would suffer greatly if Romanian workers left, as they play crucial roles in multiple industries. He condemned the unfair labels placed on the Romanian community and accused Weidel of overlooking their contributions.
