The Minister of Economy, Radu Miruță, announced on Monday that an office building under the administration of the ministry, located in Bucharest, has been occupied for almost two decades without the state collecting any rent, although the spaces were rented and even under rent.
“Maybe you have heard of stolen with the bag, trailer or trunk … But with the whole building?! This is certainly new. I was told not to break the buba, to leave them as others have left them. I send one message: excluded!”, The minister wrote on a Facebook post.
According to Miruță, this is a building with an area of 1,500 square meters, in which there are 54 offices. “The ministry does not receive any leu rent, even if they are rented and under rent. Yes, you read well: zero lei for almost two decades while others were collecting beautiful money,” he stressed.
The minister said he had the evacuation of the space.
“The Romanian state will be able to use for the state an entire office building, and the ministry will receive the rent, and the tricks do not,” concluded Miruță.
From the dialogue posted by the minister it appears that the last contract between the building administrator and the Ministry of Economy has expired in 2004, being automatically extended by another year. The administrator claims that he subsequently sent several memoirs to the ministry, but received no answer.
According to him, where of the companies occupying an office in the building is a security company.
Miruță: “I was said,” Do you really think it was not known? “”
Miruță later explained, in a show at Antena 1, that the building is owned by the Ministry of Economy, by a government decision issued in 2012. The space would have been initially intended for a business incubator, based on a contract concluded in 2004, valid for 12 months, with an automatic extension of another year.
“In 2012, the ministry received by government decision this building where this situation was years ago. It inherited it with those who used it illegally. It is indeed a contract that, say people, has a clause that if it does not ask for any of the parties it extends every year,” said the minister.
According to the government official, the right to use the space was conditioned by the status of “business incubator”.
“I went to the ministry I run. This label is given from the ministry. The ministry has issued a paper that attest that the space was never a business incubator,” said Miruță.
He added that an official complaint was filed to all institutions empowered to verify the situation and take the legal measures that are required.
The government official also mentioned that there was internal resistance when he began to ask questions. “I was told from the ministry:” Don't you think that no one wanted to do anything for 18 years? Do you really think it didn't know? ” I do not say that it is a threat, it may be a friendly opinion.
“See 54 offices and that someone else takes money in the name of the Romanian state, and catch that this happens with aggression beyond any limit … Do you think about how big the size of this story will be in Romania?”, Watched rhetorically.
