The reindustrialization of Romania and the European Union requires a categorical rethinking of the Green Deal, Chairman of the Senate’s Committee on Energy, Energy Infrastructure and Mineral Resources Istvan-Lorant Antal declared on Wednesday at the Bucharest Leaders’ Summit: The Path to 5.0. From Vision To Reality.

„We have the vision, let’s mobilize and put in effort to become an important energy pole. We have the vision that Romania wants to have an important voice in the region and at the level of the European Commission, let’s mobilize and muster the political commitment for us to have an important voice. About two days ago, Germany made an interesting move: it recognized nuclear as green energy. Through taxonomy here too, thanks to Romanian diplomacy, nuclear power was recognized as clean energy, and natural gas as a transitional resource. (…) This signal given by Germany regarding nuclear energy is extremely important, because it means that at the level of the European Union there are voices that are uniting and starting to understand that the reindustrialization we talked about in Romania and that is being talked about at the level of the European Union requires a categorical rethinking of the Green Deal,” the official said.

He also noted that Romania needs normality and coherence in order to ultimately have a developed economy and – referencing the result of the recent presidential election – he said that the country „needs coherence and normality in order to be able to devise true strategies to implement in the medium and long term.”

The MediaUno Press Group, the MediaUno Association, the Department for Sustainable Development and the National Institute of Statistics are organizing between May 21 and June 16, 2025 Bucharest Leaders’ Summit: The Path to 5.0. From Vision To Reality, the 29th edition of the national project „Together we protect Romania”.
