The PSD is allegedly using a distorted interpretation of Eurostat data to prepare an alibi for the 2027 budget, similar to Hungary's approach in 2010. They claim the previous government misrepresented the deficit, which is currently reported at 9.2% for a single quarter. However, this figure does not reflect the overall fiscal situation, as the actual deficit for the first half of the year is significantly lower. The article warns that this narrative could lead to fiscal irresponsibility and higher costs for Romania, echoing Hungary's past mistakes. The upcoming budget will be a critical test for maintaining fiscal discipline and protecting public funds.
