On April 14, Ilie Bolojan, Romania’s interim president at the time, met with Romanian MEPs, where MEP Luis Lazarus asked him for more answers on issues directly related to the MEP’s mandate and on the European agenda. After almost two months, the MEP says that none of his questions have been answered.

Independent Member of the European Parliament Luis-Vicențiu Lazarus (NI): He has not responded to any requests or issues directly related to the mandate of an MEP.

Among the topics addressed in the set of questions are those in the fields of agriculture, transport, and digitization, including an explicit request to declassify the information note presented to the CSAT on November 28, 2024, and the internal report of the D.G.P.I. regarding its partial declassification.

MEP Luis Lazarus stated after his meeting with interim president Bolojan on April 14: I asked him to urgently declassify certain documents in order to shed light on the cancellation of the elections! „Now I hear that they have put together a file to hand over to the Americans, explaining how this miracle happened.”

Below is the content of the document submitted to the Presidential Administration on April 14, 2025:

Dear Acting President,

Thank you for inviting me to participate in the discussion on current issues on the European agenda.

As a Romanian MEP elected by direct vote of the citizens and serving their interests, I believe that such a dialogue is not only timely but necessary. Romania needs unity in the face of current European challenges, whether we are talking about economic sovereignty, protecting our farmers, or defending national values against foreign ideologies.

I. Agriculture

1. Following discussions with farmers in Romania, I have been informed that they are greatly affected by the restrictions imposed as a result of outbreaks of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and the temporary ban, until June, on the export of live lamb meat to European Union countries, with the two counties of Arad and Bihor unable to export to Arab countries.

We request the direct intervention of the Prime Minister of Romania with Oliver Varhelyi, Commissioner for Animal Health and Welfare, to whose office we have already submitted a detailed report in order to support the necessary initiatives and measures in this area.

Following this presentation, we request the immediate lifting of the restrictions.

2. I would like to draw attention to a situation that directly affects Romanian producers and the economic interests of our country:

massive imports of dairy products from Hungary. In 2024, Romania imported 159.8 tons of raw milk, an increase of 38% compared to 2023, while Romanian farmers are facing sales prices below production costs and are in danger of bankruptcy.

Imports of dairy and pork products from Hungary pose a risk to animal health in Romania, with the potential to introduce outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease, which could affect the national agricultural sector.

We call for the immediate establishment of strict border control measures to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, protecting both animal health and Romania’s entire livestock industry.

3. Imports of fruit and vegetables have increased significantly in recent years, while the number of greenhouses and solariums in Romania is steadily declining due to high costs and difficulties in accessing financing. This situation increases dependence on imported products and undermines the country’s food security.

For example, in Vălenii de Munte, an area known for apple production, apples imported from Poland are predominantly sold at residents’ doorsteps.

In Matca, Galați County, tomatoes imported from Turkey are sold, even though the Romanian government’s „Tomata” program spent €650 million between 2017 and 2025 and led to a decrease in the area cultivated in protected spaces with solariums.

We call for the immediate launch of a REAL national program of financial and technological support for the construction and modernization of greenhouses and solariums, which will reduce dependence on imports and strengthen Romania’s food security, not sham programs that serve political interests.

There is no real partnership between authorities, professional organizations, local administrations, research institutions, and the rural business community, based on coherent legislation and a long-term vision.

II Transport

Over the past 35 years, Romania has invested billions of euros in transport infrastructure, both in motorways and in the railway network, but progress has been slow and many important projects are still in their early stages. Strategic projects such as the Moldova-A8 motorway or the Comarnic-Brașov section are progressing slowly.

We urgently request a clear answer, with precise data, regarding the completion of these infrastructure projects, namely when Romania will be crossed by motorways and high-speed railways from north to south and from east to west. At the same time, we would like to inform you that there are solutions for normal traffic on the Comarnic-Brașov section, with the modification of some road segments in Bușteni.

III Digitization

The introduction of chips in identity cards, in accordance with Law No. 162/2020, which was passed by Parliament while the public agenda was focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, without methodological rules for implementation, has now led to a series of emergency ordinances that allow for extensive „digital tracking” of citizens, raising questions about respect for individual rights and freedoms.

We call for the launch of a campaign to accurately inform the population and for real public debates in order to obtain informed consent on the subsequent effects – possibly the repeal of the law and/or a referendum.

The implementation of the European digital wallet would store essential personal documents in a single application – from electronic ID cards and driving licenses to bank cards and medical data. The digital wallet risks becoming a tool for surveillance and data centralization, which is unacceptable in a democratic society.

We call for a block on any legislation on this issue.

The introduction of a unique European ID, without which EU citizens will no longer be able to travel, raises questions about freedom of movement, privacy, and the right to anonymity. We do not see the usefulness of such an ID since there is already one in Romania.

We call for a halt to any legislation on this issue.

Abandoning cash means restricting citizens’ freedoms, as it eliminates a form of anonymous and direct payment that guarantees independence from banking systems and digital surveillance. The elimination of cash should not become an imposed policy, but an option discussed transparently and democratically, with respect for the fundamental rights of citizens.

We request that any legislation on this issue be blocked.

IV Elections

The cancellation of the December 2024 elections sets a dangerous precedent for Romanian democracy and respect for the will of the people. An urgent and transparent clarification of the causes that led to this cancellation is necessary, as well as accountability on the part of those responsible.

We request the complete declassification of the following documents, in accordance with Law 182/2002 and Government Decision No. 781/2002, in order to ascertain the truth regarding the cancellation of the December 2024 electoral process, in a necessary move towards transparency and respect for the public’s right to information:

1. The information note presented to the CSAT on November 28, 2024;

2. The internal report of the D.G.P.I. on its partial declassification.

Accurate information for citizens regarding the interference of a foreign actor, namely Russia, in the 2024 presidential elections, essentially the fact that there is no evidence to this effect.

Responsibility lies solely with the Member who finances this political and information activity. The European Parliament is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained in this document.
