The AUR parliamentarian who accuses the authorities of the lack of reaction in the case of the drone from Galati is the one who vehemently demanded in the Chamber of Deputies the rejection of the law that allowed the downing of drones
AUR MP Ramona Ioana Bruynseels harshly accuses the authorities for the lack of reaction in the case of the Russian drone that fell over a block of flats in Galati. In 2025, however, Bruyneseels accused from the microphone of the Chamber of Deputies the voting of the law that allowed the downing of drones. AUR, POT and SOS then voted against the law, which they then challenged in the Constitutional Court.
“Four years of war on Romania's borders, dozens of incidents on the national territory, and last night, a drone fell on a block of flats in Galati. The drone was tracked by radars. The F-16s took off. The pilots had employment authorization. And yet, people from Galati woke up to the war at home. In Estonia, last week, a Romanian pilot shot down a Russian drone during the mission NATO from the Baltic States was able. There was a reaction. Far from home, in Romania, no one could, because it is not about the ability of our pilots, but the tools they have at their disposal,” says AUR.
This accuses Ilie Bolojan, the Minister of Defense, Radu Miruță and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Oana Țoiu, of lack of reaction. “Two weeks away, in Romania, a Russian drone falls on a block of flats in Galati, and you continue to sit on chairs and sign communiques. Romanians don't care about communiques. And they have every right not to care about your explanations, because the duty to defend them was the state's. And the state was absent. Shame on you for bringing us here,” said the AUR deputy, Ramona Ioana Bruynseels.
But what was Ramona Bruynseels claiming more than a year ago
In February 2025, when the law allowing the downing of drones, AUR, SOS and POT voted against it. And Bruynseels even took the floor in the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies to explain why this law must be rejected.
“Dear colleagues, earlier it was said that the army is one of the few institutions that have remained credible. That's how it is and we respect the army. Let's not do it in such a way that we ourselves discredit it. Because if we come up with such PLXs that in the end present risks of discrediting the Romanian army, we solve absolutely nothing, on the contrary. You said that these regulations are absolutely necessary. We agree with you, they are absolutely necessary, but you had two years at your disposal, during which you could have thought about them very well, you could have analyzed them, respected the legal logic, aligned the regulations of the Constitution and come before us with some bills that stand and that offer guarantees to the Romanian citizens that their rights and freedoms will be respected, regardless of who gets to govern and what might happen in our country”, said Bruynseels, according to Agerpres.
AUR, POT and SOS Romania then voted against the law, then attacked it and the CCR, but the referral was rejected.
