Marcel Ciolacu criticized the statements of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan regarding Romania's inability to pay, considering them a "nonsense" meant to create a false image of a savior. Ciolacu states that Romania has never been in a state of inability to pay and that the reserves of the National Bank are at a stable level. He emphasizes that Bolojan's statements have generated negative economic effects, such as inflation and rising interest rates, as the market reacts quickly to such declarations.
Ciolacu used an ironic analogy to highlight the absurdity of Bolojan's statements, comparing them to a situation where someone would claim to have avoided an accident without having driven. At his 100-day review, Bolojan stated that his government's measures were meant to avoid the inability to pay and to restore the country's financial credibility.
