The Romanian Minister of Labor, Florin Manole, accused former Minister Dragoș Pîslaru of reporting false data to the European Commission regarding the deinstitutionalization process. Manole stated that deceased individuals were incorrectly reported as deinstitutionalized, leading to financial corrections in Romania's PNRR funding. Following urgent checks requested by Brussels, hundreds of non-compliant cases were removed. Manole emphasized that Pîslaru had been warned multiple times about the need for accurate data reporting. The actual number of deinstitutionalized individuals was found to be significantly lower than reported, prompting the Commission to demand a review of the data.
