Ilie Bolojan says that austerity will end in 2026, and taxes will not increase: If the Constitutional Court postpones the decision regarding judges' pensions, we lose 200 million euros

Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan stated that the year 2026 will mark the completion of measures to correct the budget deficit, assuring citizens that there will be no more increases in taxes and duties.

In an interview with Radio Romania Actualitati, Bolojan emphasized the importance of restoring citizens' trust in the Government.

"This year is one in which the measures to correct the deficit will be completed. There will be no more increases in taxes and duties. We need to close the component of injustices because if the issues that disturb people a lot are not resolved, it is hard to have serious social trust," Bolojan stated.

He also mentioned that the effects of these measures will be felt in the second half of the year. The Government will assume responsibility for a new fiscal package, which includes measures for economic recovery, with a deadline for completion before February 1.
