Former Prime Minister Florin Cîțu criticized the economic changes in Romania between 2022 and 2026, considering that the country made a brutal turn from liberalism to aggressive interventionism. On his Facebook page, Cîțu explained that, after the trend of "human-faced socialism" from the period 2017-2019 stopped in 2020,
