🇷🇴❓🇮🇷 How did Romanian politicians and/or their parties react to the American-Israeli attack on Iran?

This morning, the United States of America and Israel launched an attack on Tehran, Iran's capital city. As expected, Iran responded by striking back even harder.

The next posts will detail each relevant Romanian politician's position on the ongoing conflict. Stay tuned for updates!

🟨❓🇮🇷 The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) did not announce it's support for the USA or Israel.

George Simion or other AUR MPs haven't given any declarations on the matter so far. However, it is very likely that AUR supports Israel in this conflict.

Figures like Dan Dungaciu, Mihail Neamtu, and Simion have always been solidary with Israel and Netanyahu's Likud party.

🌹❓🇮🇷 The Social Democrat Party (PSD) did not announce it's support for Israel and the USA.

I could not find any article in which Sorin Grindeanu or otherwise relevant PSD members announced their support for Israel. However, they are likely in support of Israel, as the social-democrats are the ones with the stronger ties to the Netanyahu Cabinet in the entire Romanian government coalition.

🏳️‍🌈❓🇮🇷 Far-left SENS party did not announce its support for Israel or Iran.

While SENS is usually solidary with Palestine and condemns Israel for the genocide in Gaza, they have also released a press release a month ago, announcing its solidarity with the Iranians who protested against the Supreme Leader of Iran.

It is safe to assume that they likely support the invasion of Iran behind closed doors, but will not announce anything on this matter, in an effort to keep their young anti-western voters on their side.

🟥❌🇮🇱 The Patriots of the Romanian People (PPR) party publicly condemned Israel and the USA.

PPR's leader, Mihai Lasca, is known for his solidarity with most arab states that were opressed by Israel in the Middle East, like the Palestinians. He is also a critic of US imperialism.

This morning, Lasca wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

"I have a question for the patriots applauding the USA for what they are doing in Iran right now:

What are you applauding, exactly?

Are you applauding an invasion of Iran, a state which has not been enslaved by the MIGA (Make Israel Great Again) wave? Do you really think Trump cares about the well-being of the Iranian people?

He does not care about the theocratic authoritarian regime in Iran, neither does he care about women's rights. If Iran falls after this conflict, the only state that will profit is Israel. The genocide in Palestine will continue, and the satanists ruling us will never be held accountable.

To draw a conclusion, I recommend MIGA fans to also put on a kippah if they want to keep applauding."
