Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan declared on Wednesday that Romania is the country in Europe that ranks second to last in terms of the proportion of the active population involved in the economy, with only Italy behind us in last place, stating that too few people work in Romania.


"Think about the fact that we are the country in Europe that ranks second to last, with only Italy behind us in last place, in terms of the proportion of the active population involved in the economy. So, too few people work in Romania. This is the truth. You cannot collect more taxes for the state budget than from those who work in the economy. If you have few people working in the economy, you have few taxes and levies. No matter how you look at it. Well, you can increase them, but how much can you increase them? Up to a certain degree of bearability." Ilie Bolojan stated.
