The Minister of Economy, Radu Miruţă, about capping the prices of some basic foods: "Prices do not drop just because a minister says so."

The Minister of Economy, Radu Miruţă, stated that regarding the capping of food prices, the coalition unanimously decided that, upon the expiration of the measure, an analysis should be conducted based on the data provided by the Ministry of Finance regarding the budget situation.

The Minister of Economy, Radu Miruță, states that the extension or removal of the cap on food prices depends on the unanimity of the Coalition and the budgetary analysis.

The Minister of Economy, Radu Miruță, accuses the construction of the state budget as unrealistic, saying that there is no money for salaries this month.

Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan discussed with retailers about capping prices on food and promoting Romanian products, but the owners cite the lack of a constant flow of goods.

The government will decide next week what to do about capping food prices.
