We can contribute to the unlocking of the country without abandoning the reasons for which we refused a new alliance with PSD. PNL no longer sets conditions related to the parties in the future government, but rather to the program and team: the liberals could vote for a cabinet led by Luca Niculescu even if it includes PSD ministers, but such a vote "in no way means participation in the government and neither a blank check," says the party's general secretary, Robert Sighiartău, in an interview with HotNews. #PNL #LucaNiculescu #guvernare (translated)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

"Russia has begun a very harsh and deceitful propaganda against the Republic of Moldova. Norway has announced that it will unlock some military aid for the Republic of Moldova, but it is still not clear what kind of aid will be allocated. Usually, this aid is given to the Republic of Moldova to strengthen its defense capabilities, in case the Russian army from the Transnistrian region receives orders to move towards Chisinau; we must be prepared to face such a military challenge," says former Defense Minister Anatol Salaru. #dezinformare #Rusia #RepublicaMoldova (translated)
