**Romania’s Presidential Candidate Makes Shocking Claims**
A presidential candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu, has sparked controversy by claiming that the country does not owe any obligations to NATO. Instead of focusing on defense spending, he believes the government should prioritize its people’s happiness.
In an interview with Reuters, Georgescu stated that if he becomes president, he will stop sending aid to Ukraine. Romania has been a strong supporter of Ukraine during the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. The country has provided military assistance and helped facilitate grain exports through its port in Constanța.
Georgescu’s claims have raised concerns about a potential shift in Romania’s foreign policy. His far-right views have grown in influence, and many are worried that he may follow a pro-Russian stance if elected. If Georgescu wins the election, he has promised to also stop exporting Ukrainian grain through Romania and suspend aid to Ukraine.
This move would be a significant change from the country’s current support for Ukraine. The implications of such a shift in policy remain unclear.
