Save Romania Union (USR) demands that Parliament allow the debate, in the joint session, of the last four activity reports of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI).

These are the SRI activity reports for the years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. A written request was submitted in this regard by the leaders of the USR parliamentary groups, Bogdan Rodeanu and Stefan Palarie, informed a party release sent to AGERPRES.

„We need to find out what the SRI has been doing all these years, given that Romania has been facing a hybrid war. Some of the answers can be found in the SRI’s activity reports, which, according to the law, should have been debated and approved annually by Parliament. This has not happened since 2021, the reports being blocked at the political level without explanation – who could explain how the legislative body does not observe the law? USR demands that the law be obeyed and that Romanians be provided with this information,” said USR deputy Allen Coliban, member of the Joint Committee for the Exercise of Parliamentary Control over the Activity of the SRI.

The Law on the Organization and Functioning of the SRI, number 14/1992, stipulates that, annually or when Parliament decides, the SRI director should present reports on the fulfillment of the legal duties incumbent on the service, the USR press release also states.

„In turn, the Joint Parliamentary Control Committee is obliged, according to Parliament Decision 30/1993, to examine the SRI reports and to draw up its own reports, which it will submit to the Permanent Bureaus of the two Chambers, for debate and approval. In this context, the USR requests that the reports for the years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 be taken out of the drawer and placed on the agenda of the joint session of the two Chambers,” the press release reads.
