Former Prime Minister Victor Ponta has criticized the government, claiming that salaries and pensions have fallen by 7.8% without clear communication. He accused the executive of raising taxes but not touching political party funds. Ponta derided the main political parties, concluding that Romania is in a difficult period without effective leadership. Recent data show annual inflation at 7.8% and an accumulated rate of 5.8% since the beginning of the year.
