Ștefan Popescu: Romarm - simptomul unei Românii fără viziune strategică

The protests at Romarm factories highlight Romania's struggle to leverage its strategic position for national development in defense and logistics. Despite the need for a robust defense industry, Romania has not capitalized on opportunities arising from European rearmament and support for Ukraine. In contrast, Central European countries have successfully aligned their security objectives with industrial interests. The lack of orders leading to unpaid salaries at Romarm indicates a failure in governance and strategic capacity. Romania must redefine the relationship between security and development to enhance its economic and military strength within the EU framework.
