Former Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu warns of inflation rising to 7.8% and proposes the introduction of progressive tax to help the population.

Marcel Ciolacu reacts to the rise in inflation to 7.8%, saying he left it at 5% by measures to cap energy and gas prices. He calls on current Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan to urgently implement measures, including the progressive tax from January 1, 2026, to ensure social equity and bring revenue to the budget. Ciolacu underlines the negative impact on purchasing power, especially for low-income earners, and calls for compensatory payments and dialog with energy companies.
