Ilie Bolojan, sincer la final de mandat: „Nu regret creșterea TVA”

Ilie Bolojan defends the VAT increase as a necessary measure to avoid losing EU funds, emphasizing the importance of maintaining current tax levels for financial stability. He questions the new government's lack of commitment to reducing VAT back to 19%, suggesting that such a move could jeopardize international credit ratings. Bolojan acknowledges the negative impact of budget adjustments on the population but insists that the state cannot spend beyond its means. He advises against new tax increases while stressing the need for clear funding sources for any financial support measures. The VAT rate increase remains a contentious political issue as the new government prepares for a vote.
