The prime minister criticized a post of the Gold Ideter that suggested that the fact that the Ukrainian citizens benefited from free medical services from the Romanian state was a burden for the Romania's budget.
Bolojan commented on Tuesday evening at Digi 24 a post by Simion in which Volodimir Zelenski and Maia Sandu appeared and which he wrote “Don't forget to pay your taxes, other countries depend on you.”
“It is the simplest line of attack and such arguments are not standing, because our deficits are generated by too high expenses on the pension components, salaries, oversized public apparatus, are generated by too low incomes on the exceptions we have made and on investment over-contracts that cannot be financed. Fake, but again we have to be honest with the Romanians. The impact of 10,000 people who can reach the health system or not?
