Why do we need the EU? A political scientist explains to everyone: “It is true that Romania does not speak, but this is not Europe's fault”
Romania has changed enormously in recent years, especially since it entered the European Union, and the money and support in Brussels has mattered and matters enormously. It is precisely for this reason that it would be essential for Romania to continue this course, explains the policy Andrei Tiut, which comes with arguments that are difficult to contradict.

The political schedule Andrei Tiut, programs director at the well -known Think Tank Global Focus, explains to anyone why Romania still needs the European Union and why the future of the country is closely linked to Brussels. In an analysis posted on social networks, Tiut comes with relevant arguments and clearly points to what binds us to everything that means.
How important is EU for Romania
“What did new Europe offer us? What did the West offer us?”, Are the questions that the analysis of the expert answers.
“First, Europe released us from drought. Not in the sense that it came to bring us water to the pipe, but in the common market there are always sufficient countries where there is no drought or which have decent irrigation systems, so there is food. Which, on the background of drought, the quantity of foods available in the country decreases dramatically. writes tiut.
And the whole West helped us overcome the delicate moments, the years in which the restructuring and bankruptcy of the Romanian industry have transformed Romania into a country of potential unemployed. Basically, Europe meant a chance at well -being or at least for a decent life for millions of Romanians. Some have found this decent living in Western Europe, and others in Romania.

“Secondly, Europe has taken over the surplus of workforce generated by the executable transition from communism to capitalism. Probably many Diasporens imagine that this is only the Social Democratic Party, but the situation is more complex. After '89, Romania has long been a weak society, unable to self -regulate. Irrigation.explains Tiut.
What Europe offered us
The European Union and NATO also provided us with security. For example, Romanian-Hungarian relationships have been normalized and have obviously improved since the two countries are including NATO and EU.
“Thirdly, Europe saved us from violence. Together with NATO, obviously. I do not think you want to imagine to what extent the Romanian-Hungarian international tension could have escaped in the absence of a frame that would characterize the rules of the game and cause the parties to stay, after all, in their bank.“He says.
After the Council of Mutual Economic Aid (CAER), more than the economic organization of the European communist states, collapsed, and Romania remained without any export market, the European Union meant salvation.
“Fourth, Europe has offered the main export market. It is true that Romania's economy has largely updated on cheap labor, but you have cheap workforce if no one is about to buy your product without additional taxes and checks”, Says the expert.
“Fifth, Europe has given us something to belong to. The national identity, with doine, longing, sarmale and Călușari, is valid, but it does not tell you, as a Romanian, what to do in the contemporary era. Burebista does not tell you if you want artificial intelligence to be regulated more closely or more, how much more, how to roam, things together.“He says.
“It is true that Romania does not speak much, but this is not Europe's fault.”
The conclusion of Andrei Tiut is that Europe can mean for Romania a better future that we cannot afford to kick, when we go to vote. The belonging to Europe depends on how the economy of Romania will look over the years and how we will live.
“Europe is a lifestyle, with flights to the great capitals of the world from 30 euros, with highways for those who are dependent on the car, with all-inclusive for those who do not know how to speak a foreign language, but also with beauties and lessons that our parents have only dreamed of. The Republic of Moldova, Europe means existential funding, which allowed the country to pass through the winter despite the Russian gas pipeline. The communist salami was not cleaner, it was more discreet. Europe can mean, in the future, a minimum wage at European level. And other things that do not come to my mind now ”, Andrei Tiut wrote.
