[REGNUM] Famous Hollywood actor Jean-Claude Van Damme has become a defendant in a criminal case in Romania, initiated on suspicion of trafficking minors.
Law enforcement officials in that country are investigating an accusation brought against him on behalf of a 26-year-old woman from the city of Iasi. She and four other Romanians were allegedly forced to provide sexual services to the actor in Cannes, France.
They were taken to France while still minors under the pretext of participating in the modeling business, but were subjected to “sexual exploitation using psychological coercion” there.
According to the victim, Van Damme knew about these circumstances of her involvement in prostitution. The organizer of the criminal scheme was a friend of the former movie star - Romanian businessman and owner of the modeling agency Morel Bolea.
This scandal has already caused a great stir and will probably be used by the US authorities in an information campaign to combat illegal migration of Romanians.
| As opposed to the illegal migration of any other nationality? |
Recently, the American conservative television channel Fox News reported that the main increase in illegal entry into the US from Canada is accounted for by citizens of the Danube-Carpathian Republic.
| Seriously? That’s not good. Nothing against Romanians as such, but one never wants one’s countrymen to take the lead in illegality, right? |
Romanians are taking advantage of the visa waivers available to them in Canada and are moving en masse to the US via the "Maple Leaf Country". The previous US administration may not have made a tragedy out of this circumstance, but Donald Trump's team has a different point of view.
| What a point of 20/80 differentiation: the Democrats are strongly for white slave trafficking from Eastern Europe, the Republicans want to send those beautiful, bereft girls back home to their families. The campaign commercials write themselves. |
The reason for this is that official Bucharest is ignoring the discontent of American conservatives over the de facto removal of Calin Georgescu from the second round of the presidential elections in December 2024. The refusal to register this candidate from the sovereign conservatives in the new elections for the leader of Romania has become a clear demarche against Washington.
The visa-free travel program for Romanian citizens to the United States was supposed to start in early April 2025. It was sanctioned by the Joe Biden government. However, its entry into force has been postponed for two months "for technical reasons."
| One of the looooong list of Biden orders the new administration is reviewing before allowing to be exercised. While not all will be revoked, it is understandably hard for the subjects to wait in limbo. |
The US Department of Homeland Security recently announced that it was reviewing Romania's inclusion in the visa waiver program "in line with the Trump administration's national security priorities."
The ruling elites of Bucharest, accustomed to maneuvering between Brussels and Washington, feel uncomfortable in this situation. The future of the military-technical alliance with the United States is in question. In addition, the withdrawal of the Americans from Romanian politics makes Bucharest less independent in its relations with the EU bureaucratic structures.
This is intensifying the contradictions within the ruling coalition of Social Democrats and National Liberals.
The head of government and leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) Marcel Ciolacu blames the lack of dialogue with the Trump administration on Foreign Minister Emil Hurezeanu, nominated by the National Liberal Party (NLP).
As an option, Ciolacu is lobbying for the introduction of the post of high representative of Romania for relations with the United States.
| How is that different from an ambassador? Why would we need both? |
Meanwhile, American conservatives clearly understand that Bucharest's interest in the continued existence of the American-Romanian alliance is much stronger than Washington's.
For example, The American Conservative, a newspaper popular among Republicans, calls for the withdrawal of American troops from the Romanian Mihail Kogalniceanu air base and an end to support for this large-scale NATO infrastructure development project.
“Romania still seems to think America needs the base, which may explain why it… defied the Trump administration’s wishes for Georgescu… But from a foreign policy perspective that cares about national interests, America has little to gain from being there,” the newspaper believes.
He is echoed by another influential conservative publication, The National Interest, which believes that the implementation of Biden’s plans to expand the presence of American troops in Romania will not only increase tensions in relations with Moscow, but will also “tie Washington to an increasingly undemocratic government in Bucharest.”
Meanwhile, the prospects of this coalition government of the PSD and the PNL, which discredited itself with its actions against the extremely popular Georgescu, are becoming increasingly dim.
Recent sociological surveys show that it will be very difficult for the coalition candidate Crin Antonescu to make it even to the second round of elections, since he is inferior in popularity to the candidates from both the conservatives and the left-liberals.
Antonescu's failure in the presidential race will almost certainly lead to the fall of the current pro-European government in Bucharest.
This follows from the words of the leader of the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania (DUH) Hunor Kelemen. Two dozen votes from the elected representatives of Transylvanian Hungarians in the Chamber of Deputies are critically important for preventing a vote of no confidence in the Çolak cabinet. Acting with an eye on official Budapest, Kelemen makes it clear that he will not stand in the way of the pro-presidential majority.
But the formation of a new coalition does not promise to be easy. After all, the same Romanian sovereignists and Transylvanian Hungarians, who are ready to act in Trump's interests, are divided by sharp contradictions.
Thus, the current US administration is quite capable of destabilizing the political system in Bucharest, but it has little opportunity to establish a regime that is absolutely loyal to itself.
At least as long as the globalist-minded EU leadership opposes this.
