We are in a period where security incidents are starting to multiply. Naturally, they fuel a sense of uncertainty in the public space.

Tomac stressed that state institutions must intensify their watchfulness and communicate more effectively to prevent the spread of false information and conspiracy theories. "We are in a period where security incidents are starting to multiply. Naturally, they fuel a sense of uncertainty in the public space," he stated in a Facebook message. He added that decision-makers must assume responsibility alongside increased vigilance.

Reassuring the public, Tomac urged citizens to trust the institutions' ability to manage such situations. He commended the authorities' prompt intervention following the Constanța Port incident, noting that the area was secured and no casualties occurred. "Romanians should have confidence that the institutions will function as they should and that the sole concern is the safety of our citizens," he said.

Linking the management of such incidents to the need for a stable government, Tomac emphasized the urgency of establishing a new executive with full powers. "The sooner we have a government with full powers, capable of managing such situations in an integrated manner, the better," he concluded.
