România salvează industria de armament a Germaniei
The SAFE program allocates €5.6 billion to Rheinmetall, boosting its workforce while Romania's defense industry struggles. The lack of transparency in the contract has raised public concerns, with calls for investigations into procurement processes. Despite significant funding, Romanian workers face unpaid wages and poor conditions, contrasting sharply with Rheinmetall's growth and job creation in Germany. Critics argue that many contracts could have been fulfilled domestically, highlighting mismanagement and corruption in military procurement. Protests by Romanian defense workers over delayed salaries reflect the dire state of the local industry, as they demand better conditions and accountability from authorities.
