The Social Democratic Party (PSD) parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies requested the participation of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan in next Monday’s plenary meeting, within the debate called „Prime Minister’s Question Time” in order to discuss about the withdrawal of the US troops from Romania.

The Chamber of Deputies’ Standing Bureau approved on Thursday the addition of the PSD parliamentary group’s request to the agenda of Monday’s plenary session.

The topic proposed by the Social Democrats for debate is „the withdrawal of US troops from Romania – the Government’s lack of response and the implications for Romania’s strategic and security commitments.”

„Talking into account the information which appeared in the public space regarding the United States’ decision to withdraw part of the American troops stationed in Romania, we consider it necessary for the Prime Minister to provide Parliament with a clear presentation of the Government’s position and the steps taken in dialogue with strategic partners. We request the Prime Minister to present: the Government’s assessment regarding the impact of this decision on national and regional security, the measures taken to maintain the commitments of the Strategic Partnership with the United States, the method of interinstitutional coordination between the Government, the Ministry of National Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this matter,” the PSD deputies’ request stated.

The the Alliance for Romanians’ Union (AUR) parliamentary group also requested on Wednesday the participation of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan in the political debate „Prime Minister’s Question Time” on 3 November in order to present „the real situation of the country’s preparedness” for winter 2025-2026.
