The initiative, proposed by MP Lillian Karp, provides for a fine for individuals of 4,500-9,000 lei for the manufacture, public use, or promotion of extremist or military symbols.
According to the bill, "well-known attributes and symbols used in the context of military aggression" mean:

- badges, uniforms, slogans, greetings, as well as any other similar symbols used by participants in military aggression.
