Victor Ponta accuses the current government of defending the "boyars" of the political system instead of cutting privileges, comparing the current economic situation with the 2010 crisis.

Former Prime Minister Victor Ponta launches a vehement attack on the government led by Ilie Bolojan, accusing it of choosing to protect the privileges of the political elite instead of tackling the country's economic problems. Ponta compares the current situation with the 2010 crisis and argues that the current administration is repeating the mistakes of that time, imposing new taxes on the population instead of cutting politicians' privileges. He evokes the alternative of the 2012 reforms, when it cut taxes and attracted foreign investment, and expresses hope that the people will rise up against the corrupt system by 2028. His criticism comes against the backdrop of a new package of tax measures opposed by business.
