PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu: “I don’t see why the state should have institutions that overlap with one another. I asked Marian Neacşu to show no mercy. No mercy”

At least 100 state institutions and companies are expected to be abolished, merged, or reorganized as part of a process announced Wednesday evening by PSD President Sorin Grindeanu. The first proposal will be presented on Monday by Deputy Prime Minister Marian Neacșu.

The Social Democratic leader said on Antena 3 CNN that he had asked Neacșu to coordinate the team responsible for reorganizing state structures and to analyze, without sparing anyone, the institutions and companies that could be eliminated or merged.

“Next week, on Monday, Marian Neacșu will come forward with the first draft concerning the abolition, merger, and reorganization of state institutions and companies. I asked him—and this was on a personal level—to show no mercy. No mercy. I see no reason why the state should have institutions stepping on each other’s toes. I’ll give an example from the Ministry of Transport. Through the NRRP, Mr. Ghinea deemed it necessary to have a new company called CNIR, which does exactly the same thing as CNAIR. Except that now we have to have two institutions. I don’t see why. I assure you, I won’t go into details; Marian Neacșu will do so and will make an initial presentation, because at least 100 state entities will disappear,” PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu said Wednesday evening on Antena 3.
