Raed Arafat, a key figure in the recent events, has been in the spotlight due to the impact of a cyclone that hit Romania, causing flooded homes and fallen trees in Bucharest, Ilfov, and Giurgiu. Nine counties, including Constanța, were under a red alert code. Arafat, in response to criticism, stated that they would have been incompetent if they hadn't listened to weather experts during the red and orange code situations. He also addressed critics, saying that those who criticize them now for exaggerating would be the same ones complaining if they hadn't taken any action. The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) has called for Arafat's resignation, accusing him of causing unnecessary panic and running the state through fear rather than competence. Arafat has urged the public to prepare with water and food reserves, but his calls have led to panic buying in supermarkets. He has since clarified that the risks are real and has asked people not to be misled by social media posts. Arafat has also announced the extension of the RoAlert system and has emphasized the importance of being informed during such situations. Despite criticism, Arafat has maintained that they are prepared to handle the situation, with intervention forces ready.
