Cititorii Gândul se alătură lui Popovici și cer banii pentru olimpici

David Popovici, after winning two gold medals at the European Swimming Championships, criticized the Romanian government for not paying promised rewards to athletes. He emphasized the urgent need for financial support for many athletes who rely on these funds. A poll showed that 82% of respondents support the call for the government to release these payments. Despite Popovici's appeals, the government has not acted, prompting an online petition for timely compensation and transparency regarding owed amounts. The total debt to Romanian medalists is estimated at around 20 million euros.
