Former Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan discussed the controversy surrounding a contract for leasing 17 government cars, valued at half a million euros, awarded to a company linked to a former PNL member. He defended the decision to reduce the number of cars from 30 to 15, significantly lowering costs. Bolojan claimed the leasing initiative was aimed at austerity and responsibility, despite accusations of violating government ordinances. The winning company failed to deliver the contracted vehicles, leading to a compromise where cheaper cars were provided temporarily. The contract's legality was questioned due to its classification under a specific vehicle category that bypassed restrictions on public purchases.
