The PSD criticizes the former government led by Ilie Bolojan for failing to reduce the budget deficit, which reached 9.2% of GDP. They argue that austerity measures and tax increases have harmed the population and economy without achieving their intended goals. The party highlights Eurostat data showing Romania's deficit is the highest in the EU, alongside rising inflation and declining retail sales. PSD calls for a shift from austerity to protective measures for low and middle-income individuals, advocating for support for industry and small entrepreneurs. They emphasize the need for a government that partners with citizens rather than imposing harsh economic measures.
