Romanian Parliament’s Foreign Policy Committees Endorse National Defense Strategy

According to the presidents of the two committees, the amendment brought by the opposition to have these paragraphs eliminated from the defense strategy did not meet the necessary number of votes in order to be adopted.

Chamber of Deputies’ foreign policy committee president Attila Korodi said other amendments, which target regional cooperation and the protection of national minorities’ rights, were adopted.

Romania’s defense strategy, adopted in June by the Defense Council (CSAT) and forwarded to Parliament for approval, lists „orchestrated media campaigns that denigrate state institutions by disseminating false information” among threats to national security, beside terrorism, corruption and organized crime.
