The designated prime minister Ilie Bolojan went to the USR Congress on Saturday, where he gave a firm speech in which he talked about the challenges that the future government will meet.
“I looked at the slogan that your team was preparing: prepare to build … I think it's the end, or the termination part. Maybe it should have appeared: prepare to demolish-privileges, sinecles. Prepare to cut unnecessary expenses, inefficiency. Prepare to suffer with Romanians.”
Bolojan also said “very open” that the time of words “passed”, and in front of us “the time of facts”.
He admitted that the government that forms this day “very likely, will be a sacrifice government”.
“Those who know our budgetary situation know that this government is likely to work this day, this day will be a sacrificial government. This is not the problem, I hope to do the right thing, to get to build, because it will inevitably be a serious struggle to reduce the deficits and to try to fall into our Romanian, very difficult to do.
“It will be a great challenge to govern as it should, with good rules, which will generate correct behaviors and really have a good governance. Because this only creates development conditions, this does not waste the money, it creates healthy mentalities and it will not be easy to do. He regains confidence between them, because the next period will be very complicated, ”said Bolojan.
