10 Years since Colectiv | Adina Apostol, a survivor of the Colectiv fire, accuses politicians of ignoring the needs of burned patients and that the country is in a state of stagnation.

Adina Apostol, a survivor of the Colectiv tragedy, stated that nothing has changed in Romania in the last 10 years, accusing politicians of prioritizing personal interests at the expense of necessary measures to support severely burned patients. She claims that the country is in an "administrative coma," with the leadership living in a bubble of comfort, ignoring the serious problems in the medical system. Apostol emphasizes that instead of investing in hospitals for severely burned patients, the money is directed towards special pensions and other non-urgent "priorities." President Nicușor Dan added that Romania does not have functional centers for severely burned patients, and the promises made after Colectiv remain unfulfilled. Civic organizations are organizing a march to mark ten years since the tragedy, demanding justice for the victims and accountability for those responsible. Their message emphasizes that, although some legislative progress has been made, the reality in hospitals remains alarming, with acute shortages and unresolved issues.
