President Nicușor Dan discussed the increase in VAT during Bolojan's government, despite his prior promises. He clarified that he did not impose conditions on the Niculescu government regarding VAT, only that it should not include AUR members. Dan emphasized his support for keeping VAT unchanged and mentioned that he had secured an agreement from former Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan. However, VAT was raised from 19% to 21% and from 9% to 11% shortly after his nomination. Initially, the new government assured that VAT would not increase, but recent statements have been less definitive, with some suggesting a potential reduction instead.
