Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania (CCIR) defended a private flight to Mykonos involving high-profile figures, including former Prime Minister Victor Ponta and a Constitutional Court judge. The CCIR stated the trip was an investment mission intended to attract foreign capital and that all expenses were covered by its own revenues rather than public funds. This controversy emerged alongside a legal dispute over the ownership of 46 hectares of land at Romexpo. Following the trip, political tensions escalated within the Romanian Chamber of Deputies. Members of the USR party demanded the creation of a parliamentary inquiry commission, referred to as ‘Mykonos-Nordis’, to investigate luxury flights to Mykonos and Nice involving politicians and institutional heads. While USR leader Diana Stoica accused the assembly of violating the Constitution by failing to vote on the request, PSD Deputy Florin Manole, a passenger on the flight, maintained that ‘public money used in this flight was zero lei’. The request for an inquiry was ultimately rejected by the Permanent Bureau of the Chamber of Deputies. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-07: Romanian deputies clash over Mykonos luxury flight inquiry USR deputies protested in the Romanian Chamber of Deputies, demanding an inquiry into luxury flights to Mykonos, while PSD's Florin Manole defended the trip as being funded by the Chamber of Commerce. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/romanian-deputies-clash-over-mykonos-luxury-flight-inquiry ### 2026-09-08: CCIR defends Mykonos flight as investment mission amid Romexpo land dispute The CCIR defended a controversial flight to Mykonos involving high-profile officials as an effort to attract foreign investment, amid ongoing disputes over Romexpo land ownership rights. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ccir-defends-mykonos-flight-as-investment-mission-amid-romexpo-land-dispute --- Cite as: Romanian political controversy over Mykonos flight.
