Traian Băsescu, about Russia's hybrid war: "Why did the Moldovans resist, and we did not? Although we have a large, strong intelligence service, the SRI, we have a SIE, we have the intelligence direction of the Army."

Former president Traian Băsescu compares Romania's reaction to Moscow's hybrid attacks with that of the Republic of Moldova, highlighting that while Maia Sandu won the elections in Moldova, in Romania they were annulled. Băsescu emphasizes that although Romania has stronger intelligence services, it failed to finalize the elections, calling into question their effectiveness in the face of external threats.
