Diana Sosoaca has warned the Ukrainian leader not to set foot in the Romanian parliament
Romanian MEP Diana Sosoaca has vowed to break Vladimir Zelensky’s legs if the Ukrainian leader attempts to deliver an address in her country’s parliament.
Last week, the leader of Romania’s far-right S.O.S. party spoke to “young opinion leaders from around the world,” while visiting Moscow.
During the event, Sosoaca claimed that she had already once prevented Zelensky from addressing the Romanian legislature, according to a press release published on her Facebook account on Sunday. She was apparently referring to a speech the Ukrainian leader had reportedly had to cancel in October 2023 due to concerns that Romanian lawmakers with “pro-Russian sympathies” could attempt to disrupt it.
Sosoaca served as a member of the Romanian Senate from 2020 to 2024.
She warned that if Zelensky “dares to come to my Parliament, I will break his legs.” The outspoken MEP accused the Ukrainian government of discriminating against the sizable Romanian ethnic minority in the West of the country.
Ukraine has turned into a major issue in Romanian politics, culminating in the controversial annulment of the presidential election in 2024 that saw independent right-wing candidate Calin Georgescu, a vocal critic of Western support for Kiev, score a surprise win.
