After the debate dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the creation of the PNL, Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan was evasive in front of journalists, refusing to discuss the VAT increase, which President Nicușor Dan said could have been avoided by alternative fiscal measures. Dan emphasized that the government's initial commitments included not increasing VAT, but that after the swearing in, the decisions were taken over by the government. This raised questions about public trust in political promises.
