“The Sarabanda of misinformation continues and, instead of focusing on constructive things, we have to deny and clarify all kinds of” news “launched on sources. Regarding the funeral aid: neither I nor someone in the working group have discussed or proposed to cut or diminish it,” He wrote on Wednesday, on Facebook, the honorary presidential adviser Dragoş Anastasiu.
He stated that, during the discussions, he was only discussed about the tax evasion in several fields.
“The only discussion that had an indirect connection with this topic aimed at fiscal evasion in several fields, including the companies that offer deaths. The discussion started from a study by InfoCons, which shows that most companies in this sector do not even have authorization, and citizens get more than they should.”Anastasiu said.
The businessman appreciates that “if this area were correctly regulated, the costs for citizens would be reduced.”
“So much. The rest are manipulations,” Anastasiu wrote.
According to InfoCons, in October 2024, at national level there were 1,083 funeral service providers that held authorization issued by the county public health departments, most in Bucharest.
In Bistriţa-Năsăud county there was no such work.
