Mihai Fifor, former Minister of Defense, criticized USR and Radu Miruță for the proposal to raise the retirement age of military personnel, accusing them of endangering national security.

The former Minister of Defense, Mihai Fifor, launched a harsh attack against USR and the current Minister of Defense, Radu Miruță, accusing them of 'strategic irresponsibility' in the context of raising the retirement age for military personnel. Fifor emphasizes that such decisions endanger national security, considering the tense geopolitical situation in the region. He believes that the army should not be treated as a budgetary experiment and that soldiers are not civil servants, but individuals who endure extreme physical and mental effort.

Fifor warns that the message sent to young people is devastating, suggesting that they should sacrifice their health and family for a system that changes its rules. He underscores the importance of respecting the status of military personnel and maintaining the attractiveness of the profession for young people. In the end, Fifor calls for the protection of the Romanian Army and criticizes the current government's approach, suggesting that a state that humiliates its soldiers will remain without defense.
