Diana Buzoianu, the Minister of the Environment, states that the water crisis in Prahova is caused by the politicization of environmental institutions and that the Ministry was not informed about the risks.

The Minister of Environment, Diana Buzoianu, stated that the appointment of a "political" director at ESZ Prahova contributed to the water crisis in the county, emphasizing that the Ministry was not informed about possible risks. Buzoianu criticized the political attacks from PSD, mentioning that they do not bring solutions to a disastrous local situation. She explained that the responsibility for environmental issues should be attributed to the experts who provided incorrect answers.

She also highlighted that in other counties, water operators are either private or owned by the County Council, suggesting that the current model in Prahova, with high prices and a non-functional structure, should be reevaluated.
