Sorin Grindeanu accuses the Bolojan government of deepening the crisis and announces measures to relaunch the economy: “It impoverished Romanians, but did not save the budget”

PSD President Sorin Grindeanu criticized the government of former Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan on Sunday, accusing it of sacrificing the economy and deepening the crisis, and announced that the Social Democrats would change Romania’s direction. The statements were made in a Facebook post, amid disputes over the budget deficit and the effects of austerity measures.

Grindeanu claims that the Bolojan Government left unpaid bills, expenses, and obligations exceeding 30 billion lei, as well as the largest budget deficit in the European Union. He says the situation is confirmed by institutions such as the INS, the NBR, Eurostat, and the European Commission. The PSD leader also accused the adopted measures of affecting Romanians’ incomes and the business environment.

For the following week, the PSD is announcing measures in several areas. These include securing funding for UPU and the Ambulance Service, unlocking drought compensation payments, resuming dialogue on sheep exports, and carrying out checks to open a new motorway section between Tigveni and Curtea de Argeș.

The Social Democrats also promise to unblock the environmental agreement for the mountainous section of the Pitești–Sibiu motorway, negotiate in Brussels for PNRR funds, audit economic support programs, and operationalize local administration reform. The PSD’s agenda also includes relaunching the “Work in Romania” platform and discussions with Bulgaria and Turkey regarding security in the Black Sea.
