Șeful ROMARM, atac dur la Radu Miruță în scandalul SAFE: „Nu a intrat nimic la noi. Minte cum respiră”

The SAFE program scandal escalates as Răzvan Pîrcălăbescu, ROMARM's director, claims the company has not benefited from contracts worth €5.7 billion with Rheinmetall. He accuses former minister Radu Miruță of misleading the public about the benefits for the Romanian defense industry. Pîrcălăbescu questions the promised 60% local production share, stating that the Ministry of Economy should clarify the situation. He criticizes the lack of consultation with local manufacturers before signing contracts, emphasizing the need for Romania to invest in its own defense capabilities rather than relying solely on foreign technology. The controversy is fueled by conflicting information regarding production percentages in the agreements.
