MEP Rareș Bogdan, elected deputy-chairman of the Commission for Foreign Affairs: "My absolute priority is the Republic of Moldova"
Romanian MEP Rareș Bogdan was elected deputy-chairman of the Committee for Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament. In a Facebook post, he wrote that one of his priorities in this mandate is to support the Republic of Moldova in the country's European integration process.
"I consider that the presence in AFET at the level of representation and coordination is a major success for Romania, especially in the current geopolitical context - let's think of Ukraine, which is waging a war to defend its citizens, but also of the entire European Union, let's think about the enlargement process, where we want them together, in the European Common House, both Ukrainians and Georgians, but especially our Romanian brothers from the Republic of Moldova, to think about the conflict in the Middle East and the increasingly complicated situation in the Balkans", reads the MEP's post.
He also said that his fundamental priority is the situation in the Republic of Moldova, "which is having a hard time coping with the vile blackmail of the Russian Federation and the expanding of information war".
