Un parlamentar USR critică proiectul AUR privind Drapelul Național: „Asta nu mai este o ceremonie. Este un ritual de supunere”

USR Deputy Bogdan Rodeanu harshly criticizes AUR's project on mandatory national flag celebrations, arguing it turns patriotism into an administrative obligation. He contests the religious aspects of the proposed ceremonies and the penalties for non-participation. Rodeanu highlights that the initiative imposes detailed ceremonial procedures, including for the military and religious representatives, which he believes undermines the diversity of Romania's religious communities. He questions the practicality of enforcing such rituals in schools and communities with different traditions. The project includes fines for officials who refuse to participate, which Rodeanu describes as a test of obedience rather than a genuine expression of patriotism. He asserts that respect for the national flag should be voluntary, not mandated by law, and criticizes AUR for degrading the very symbol they claim to protect.
