Former Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan has contradicted his previous statements regarding the new premier Luca Niculescu's ability to address structural issues in Romania. Initially, Bolojan expressed skepticism about Niculescu's chances of resolving problems in healthcare and salary unification. However, in a recent interview, he claimed he never stated that Niculescu would fail. Bolojan also revised his earlier comments about salary indexing, suggesting it would be challenging but not impossible for the government. He defended his decision to raise VAT, questioning why the new government hasn't proposed a reduction if it was detrimental to the economy. Bolojan emphasized the need for a balanced fiscal approach to ensure functional public services.
