Uncovering the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the European Union - Cristian Terhes

Cristian Terheș is a Romanian politician and Member of the European Parliament since 2019, representing the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party (PNȚ-CD). He gained prominence for his vocal stance on issues related to democracy, transparency, and civil liberties within the EU. Terheș has been particularly critical of the European Commission’s handling of COVID-19 policies, advocating for government accountability and transparency regarding vaccine contracts. He has also spoken against centralized EU policies, emphasizing national sovereignty and individual freedoms.
