The head of the Fiscal Council, Daniel Dăianu, does not believe in the possibility of cutting budget spending by 30 billion lei, arguing that the budget deficit requires a more complex approach

Daniel Dăianu criticized President Nicușor Dan's idea to cut budget spending by 30 billion lei by the end of the year, saying that the cuts cannot target salaries and pensions. He emphasized that the budget deficit is a serious problem for the Romanian economy and that the solution cannot be found only by cutting spending, but also by increasing tax revenues, including possible tax increases. Mr. Dăianu described the deficit as a "gangrene" affecting Romanian society, underlining the need for a clear plan to tackle the problem.
