Security officers at Romania’s Parliament stopped a woman on Friday morning, September 12, as she attempted to enter the building carrying six knives, according to media reports.
The woman, a 35-year-old from Moldova, was on a supplementary guest list submitted by the nationalist AUR party for an economic forum scheduled inside the Palace of Parliament, investigative sources told Euronews Romania. She was intercepted at the C1 entrance during routine checks by the Protection and Guard Service (SPP).
AUR representatives, in turn, denied that the woman was a party member, stressing she had only been listed as an additional participant for the Builders’ Guild Forum.
“All participants received clear instructions in advance regarding access to the building, including the explicit mention that dangerous objects are strictly prohibited,” the party said in a statement.
Following the discovery, the woman was taken into custody and transported to a police station for questioning.
No disruptions to the forum or parliamentary activity were reported.
