“If we arrive in Junk, if these who finance us say” you are a little exaggerated and do not keep your word “, then things do not look good at all”, Anastasiu told Digi24.

In this regard, he stated that, according to the approved calendar with European partners, Romania must present a fiscal reform package until June 20.

Subsequently, until July 20, these measures must already be adopted by the Parliament.

“A calendar that tells us so, on June 20, we must present a fiscal reform package, if not even reform, at least fiscal measures.

ANDI have to go through the Parliament on July 20, to have been through the Parliament, OK? So we have days, we don't have months or weeks, not even weeks to do what we have to do ”, Anastasiu added.

Also on Friday, the interim leader of the PNL, Ilie Bolojan, held a press conference in which he presented the negative figures of the state economy.

The Liberal emphasized the complicated situation in which Romania is located, explaining that no future government will be able to avoid tax and tax increases.

“I estimate that no government that will come will be able to avoid taxes and taxes. We must urgently decrease the state expenses, but the discounts cannot be done by one day. (…)

From the active population, almost 33%, ie about 4 million people, are not in activity. We are on the penultimate place in Europe. Due to the anticipated pensioners, half of those between 55 and 64 are not in activity, although an age at which experience and wisdom are prioritating ”, the official showed.
