The Minister of Labor, Florin Manole, accuses Dragoș Pîslaru of reporting deceased individuals as beneficiaries of deinstitutionalization in documents sent to the European Commission. Manole claims that 478 non-compliant cases were found, which could lead to financial penalties for Romania under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). He criticized the reporting practices, stating that the actual number of deinstitutionalized individuals is 3,498, not the reported 3,976. The discrepancies include deceased persons and those not institutionalized before 2020. Manole emphasized the need for accurate reporting and accountability.
