Defense Minister Radu Miruță was asked on the TV programme Digi24 whether former dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu was a patriot. He did not give a straight answer, instead listing arguments for and against the idea, and said he believes Romania is doing better today. The interview was met with criticism from moderator Claudiu Pândru, who took issue with Miruță’s ambivalent stance, and Florin Negruțiu also asked for a clearer position. The discussion was framed as an exploration of Ceaușescu’s legacy and its relevance to modern Romania.
