Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan emphasized that austerity measures are inevitable for any government, in the context of Romania's growing budget deficit, generated by excessive borrowing. He explained that the country spends 30 billion euros more than it can afford, which has led to a decrease in confidence in the economy and an increase in interest rates. Bolojan mentioned that, to avoid the suspension of European funds, the government was forced to implement urgent measures, including tax increases.

He also addressed the need for reform in local and central administration, stating that social tensions are high and that effective solutions must be found. In conclusion, he mentioned that any party that believes the government is not fulfilling its duty can submit a motion of no confidence.
