Victor Ponta highlights significant issues in Romania's system for foreign workers, emphasizing the lack of a functional process for legalizing work permits. He criticizes the government's inability to address these challenges, which are exacerbated by the economic crisis. Ponta notes that Romania is unique in the EU for lacking a proper system for foreign employment, leading to negative impacts on businesses and the economy. He points out ongoing legal disputes involving the Ministry of Labor that have stalled the process, affecting recruitment and tax revenues.
