The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) on Wednesday points out that there were no discussions or interventions regarding any candidate or the electoral process in Romania during bilateral interactions with officials from the U.S. Administration.

„We have heard the public statements from some representatives of the U.S. Administration at the Munich Security Conference and in social media posts. Beyond these general expressions, there have been no discussions or interventions in bilateral interactions with U.S. Administration officials regarding any candidate or the electoral process in Romania,” the Foreign Ministry says in a press release.

According to the quoted source, Romania and Europe remain firmly committed to democracy and freedom of expression.

„A coherent EU, a stronger NATO, and as solid a transatlantic partnership as possible are in our mutual interest. Romania supports the need to strengthen our own forces, to take on more responsibility as Europeans, but also as strategic partners of the U.S. This includes the resilience of democratic institutions, fundamental freedoms, and the integrity of elections and the informational space,” the Foreign Ministry highlights.
