Valeriu Munteanu (deputat AUR): „Diana Buzoianu manipulează din nou: nu există nicio obligație europeană care să impună României 30% arii protejate și 10% protecție strictă”

Deputy Valeriu Munteanu from AUR claims that Environment Minister Diana Buzoianu misrepresents EU obligations regarding protected areas in Romania. He argues that the percentages of 30% protected areas and 10% strictly protected zones are not legally mandated by the EU, but rather stem from political commitments. Munteanu criticizes the minister for presenting her political choices as EU requirements, which he believes undermines legitimate debate on biodiversity strategies. He warns that expanding protected areas could negatively impact local communities, property rights, and economic development. AUR opposes any strategy based on manipulation and lacking legal foundation.
