Romanian MP Florin Manole defended a private flight to Mykonos funded by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania (CCIR) during a plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies. The defense came amidst debate regarding a parliamentary inquiry commission investigating the Mykonos-Nordis flights. Manole responded to criticism about the chosen destination with irony, questioning alternative locations. The trip has drawn scrutiny following discussions about the appropriateness of using public funds for such travel. Deputies from the USR party voiced their protests during the session. The debate centers on the justification of the flight and the use of CCIR funds for what some consider an extravagant expenditure.
