AUR: European vaccination passport is discriminatory measure

The Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR) is requesting the Romanian state's authorities, the European commissioner Adina Valean and other representatives of Romania in various European forums to oppose the introduction of the COVID passport, showing that this measure is "discriminatory, anti-democratic and dangerous for the free movement of people, one of the pillars which the European Union was built upon". "The Alliance for the Unity of Romanians is worried regarding the European Commission's intention of introducing a digital anti-COVID vaccination passport, through which the European citizens' movement will be restricted. If this measure will be adopted, two categories of citizens will be created: those who will enjoy freedom of movement and those who will be sanctioned for their opinions or for the fact that they are not part of the priority category of population, that which is immunized through vaccination. The introduction of a digital vaccination passport is equivalent with imposing a European identification card through which they will discriminate between "model citizens" and "undesirable citizens". This discriminatory measure will fuel the opinions of those who consider that the national authorities, but mostly the international ones, such as those at the top of the European Union, act for a stricter population control, for sanctioning those with dissident opinions and for narrowing down rights and freedoms," a press release from AUR sent on Monday, to AGERPRES, reads. In this context, AUR is requesting the authorities of the Romanian state, the commissioner Adina Valean and other representatives of Romania in various European forums to oppose "this discriminatory, anti-democratic and dangerous measure for people's freedom of movement, one of the pillars which the European Union was built upon". "Conditioning movement within the community space by presenting a negative test upon exiting, namely entering the country is protective enough in contrast with the possibility of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreading, as a result of cross-border traffic", the quoted source says.AGERPRES(RO - author: Andreea Rotaru, editor: Mihai Simionescu; EN - author: Catalin Cristian Trandafir, editor: Maria Voican)
