FT: România, pe cale să piardă 770 de milioane de euro din fonduri europene din cauza crizei politice

Romania risks losing 770 million euros in EU funds due to a political crisis that has stalled necessary reforms. The European Commission set a deadline for these reforms, which are crucial for economic recovery post-COVID-19. The political deadlock arose after the Social Democrats withdrew from the governing coalition, preventing agreement on a new prime minister. The inefficiency of state-owned companies, particularly CFR, exacerbates the situation, with significant debts and operational challenges. Analysts predict a weak political landscape, with potential for a minority government or fragile majority, while concerns grow over the rise of far-right parties.
