Former Transport Minister Radu Miruță responds to current Minister Ștefan Ovidiu Popa's accusations regarding hiring delays for the Momaia tunnel on the A1 highway. Miruță claims he approved necessary positions for road administration but rejected some central roles due to project transfers. He criticizes Popa for spreading misinformation and insists that the hiring approvals were communicated to the National Company for Road Infrastructure Administration (CNAIR). Miruță emphasizes that the only barrier to opening the tunnel is the current minister's capability, not staffing issues. Popa previously stated that the tunnel cannot open due to a lack of specialized personnel.
