The deputy and senator were screaming at each other good minutes. The discussion degenerated due to the differences of opinion on the fiscal reform theme
The discussion of budget deficit has escalated in an exchange of sharp accusations and replicas between representatives of the two coalition parties.
“The analysis of October -the level of receipts is important -if package 1 and package 2 will reach the estimated effects. The package 1 has an estimated effect of 6.7 -6.9 billion lei, 3.7 Fiscal recovery and reorganization part. It remains to be seen if the budget execution and the level of income collection will reach the level of this. Gabriela Horga said at Digi24.
Adrian Căciu replied immediately:
“We did an analysis on the public data. We are waiting for the data at 7 months because everyone talks about disaster and apocalypse. Indeed, a series of fiscal consolidation measures are needed. In fact, they are structural. They are not for this year or to repair a short-term deficiency, but for what a sustainability of public finances. We recommended to the Minister of Finance not to make an anticipated redemption of bonds, because this means an additional expense.
Regarding the loans of recent years, the former Finance Minister from the PSD said:
“There are three big peaks- the first on the start of the Ukraine war, with 7%interest at 9.5%, after which we had a temper, at 6.8%. We have two syncopes that we publicly admonished, because we should not have anymore because it costs us. had this threat of prime minister with resignation”.
Deficit debate slid toward personal attacks and threats between the two
Gabriela Horga: “This was not a threat Mr. Câciu.”
Adrian Căciu: “I do not make replicas with PNL members. If I have the discussion with Mr. Bolojan or the PNL president.”
Gabriela Horga: “Well, we have the discussion in the public space.”
Adrian Căciu: “Well, you should know a little at interest, Mrs. Horga”
Gabriela Horga: “I think I know better than you because I didn’t have two mandates with failure.”
Adrian Căciu: “I overcome this moment.”
Gabriela Horga: “No, I have not overcome it. As long as you think a prime minister who says he will remain prime minister to make the necessary reforms, which I will block, and that is why you create interest not because you have made reforms on time, but because you have never been employed in those reforms. It is incorrect to give this to those who have been to blame.
Adrian Căciu: “Mrs. Horga, who was the Minister of Finance last year? Was Boloș somehow?”
Gabriela Horga: “Who was the prime minister last year? You have to assume the blame on the contract and which you borrowed as long as you were Finance without showing your finger and you have to assume now that we have to make these reforms. You have not managed well, including the reform in administration.”
Adrian Căciu: “If Mrs. Horga would be honest, she could see how much financial reserve left me the Cîțu government. She left me 1 billion euros in Buffer, with debts of 5 billion euros due in December, a month. Boloș, with a portfolio of 1 billion reserves and you will see that the interest has dropped from 9.5 to 6.8.
Gabriela Horga: “You have promised commitments of institutions, which have not been done today.”
Adrian Căciu: “Mrs. Horga, please, if you lie a lot, I expose you publicly. I just praise Bolojan and Mrs. Horga aggravates me, she causes me to read?”
