Ioana Dogioiu accuses ANCOM vice-president Pavel Popescu of spreading false information regarding Romania's funding for the ITU Council candidacy. Popescu responded, asserting that the funds were allocated from ANCOM's budget, not impacting the government budget. He emphasized that Romania's candidacy is a national objective, not an individual one. Dogioiu claims the funding for the Francophonie Summit was approved on September 11, not during Bolojan's last government meeting, and criticized Popescu's motives for seeking public funds for the ITU candidacy. Popescu also accused Bolojan of sabotaging Romania's diplomatic efforts for the ITU position, alleging a lack of understanding of its importance.
