Cum acționează Mafia consultanților: ”Statul e prost, deci trebuie sfătuit și muls, ca să fie deștept” / România executată scurt pentru 2 miliarde de EURO
Gheorghe Piperea, an ECR/AUR MEP, highlights the extensive influence of consulting firms like McKinsey, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic and EU programs. He points to a French investigation into McKinsey for tax fraud and money laundering, revealing that the firm has avoided paying taxes in France for years. Piperea argues that the outsourcing of essential state functions to private consultants has created a corrupt system benefiting a select few. He claims that the Romanian PNRR was drafted by these consultants, who profit from public contracts, perpetuating a cycle of dependency and financial exploitation. The article critiques the broader implications of such practices on governance and accountability in Europe.
