AUR criticizes new relaxation measures announced by CNSU

AUR (Alliance for the Union of Romanians) criticizes the new relaxation measures announced by the National Committee for Emergency Situations (CNSU), saying they "are an insult for honest and hardworking Romanians, whose only fault is that they are not vaccinated."

"The so-called 'relaxation measures' do not solve, in essence, anything because they continue to insist on restricting citizens' rights and freedoms and segregation on health grounds," Senator Claudiu Tarziu, co-chair of AUR, said in a press release on Wednesday, agerpres reports.

For his part, AUR co-chair George Simion said the number of daily COVID-19 infections had dropped "sharply, and all the data show that the Omicron strain was less dangerous than Delta."

"Therefore, it is incomprehensible why Raed Arafat and Nicolae Ciuca insist on instilling panic among the population and maintaining aberrant and discriminatory restrictions," the AUR leader said.

The Alliance for the Union of Romanians calls on the Government to "stop violating the fundamental freedoms and rights of Romanians, from freedom of movement to the right to education, in the context of the indefinite extension of the state of alert under the pretext of the COVID epidemic," according to the same source.
