PNL President Ilie Bolojan stated on Monday, at Parliament, that the party has debts stemming both from the 2020 local elections and from the 2024 election. The debts from 2020 stem from four branches, and the liberal leadership decided to reschedule and pay them off.

Bolojan said that PNL has nothing to hide and that all information regarding the spending of the funds, including those coming from members’ donations and public sources, will be made available to the public. The liberal leader has not yet provided a total amount, explaining that it depends on penalties and negotiations with creditors.

The PNL president specified that, in one of the cases, a county branch signed contracts exceeding the threshold stipulated in the statute, without the approval of the national structure. The unpaid contracts led to lawsuits and penalties approved by the courts.

Context: The PNL is facing ANAF recovery proceedings and final decisions related to expenses from Nicolae Ciucă’s campaign

Prior to Monday’s statement, ANAF announced that it would initiate enforcement proceedings against the PNL to recover the sum of 14 million lei used in Nicolae Ciucă’s 2024 presidential campaign, after the party definitively lost the case against the Permanent Electoral Authority in court.

At the same time, Ilie Bolojan said that the PNL would pay the amount established by the final ruling for the promotion of Nicolae Ciucă’s book (14,117,378.04 lei), and he also announced his intention to take the former leaders considered responsible to court, amid a financial situation in which total debts to creditors and the public budget could reach nearly 20 million euros.
