Pavel Popescu, vicepreședinte ANCOM, criticizes Ilie Bolojan for blocking funding for Romania's ITU candidacy while approving higher expenses for cultural events. Popescu clarifies that the budget for promoting Romania's candidacy was 160,000 euros, not 200,000 as claimed by Bolojan. He argues that Bolojan's actions jeopardized Romania's diplomatic efforts and emphasizes the importance of the ITU position over cultural prestige. A new government proposal has been submitted with a reduced budget of 50,000 euros for a simpler reception in Qatar.
