The statements made on Thursday, February 5, 2026, by the Minister of National Defense, Radu Miruţă, on the subject of the Mangalia Shipyard do not represent a paradigm shift, but the explicit confirmation of the continuity of a deeply mistaken industrial and strategic policy, inaugurated in 2018, during the PSD government led by Liviu Dragnea, and perpetuated, with variations in discourse, until now, whether the Social Democrats were led by Marcel Ciolacu or, more recently, by Sorin Grindeanu. With the mention that the current Minister of National Defense is not a PSD member, but a USR member.
