“Principal or chronology reasons as a public accept it would have been good to be that way (package 2 before package 1 n.red), but it was practically impossible and the idea of reverse the packages was not possible. They were following some evaluations, we had rating agencies and we must recognize, we lost our credibility. injustices, but I didn’t have time. Expense discounts They cannot be done easily, they need months. You have to calculate, to dialogue with unions, to make decision -making transparency, the processes, the medical certificates begin ”, said Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, to Antena 3.
In his opinion, the effects of austerity measures will be seen next year.
“We were with my back to the wall. We had to adopt exceptional measures in an exceptional situation. It’s not about what Bolojan wants, but what is absolutely necessary. We can no longer bear these expenses and can give dozens of examples of aberrant situations. It is clear that something we have to do ”, said the prime minister.
If these measures to reduce the expenses will not be taken, “It is only a problem of time until these receipts are consumed by the big increases we have as expenses.”
“I believe that, with the measures we have taken so far, income increases, we no longer have to take other measures on the income and tax growth component (…) It is abnormal to put additional taxes in one area or another, as long as we have expenses reduction.”replied Ilie Bolojan.
The Prime Minister explained that in health a correct assignment of expenses is required.
“We have to make a correct attribution of health expenses. We can no longer increase the health expenses that we have no place. This year we had a house budget of 77 billion lei and notified the house that it takes 10-11 billion to close the year, because they did not pay medicines, they did not ensure the payment of all the services. 80-90-95 percent ”, said Bolojan.
