Rectificarea bugetară, doar o cârpeală? Petrișor Peiu: Statul lasă nerezolvate datorii de zeci de miliarde de lei

Petrișor Peiu criticizes the budget rectification proposed by the Ministry of Finance, calling it a temporary fix that fails to address structural economic issues. He argues that the government relies on optimistic inflation forecasts to justify increasing the deficit by 3 billion lei, which he believes are unrealistic. Peiu highlights the significant unpaid debts of the state to suppliers, estimated at 27-28 billion lei, which may be postponed to the next year. He also questions the economic growth predictions and suggests that a more comprehensive budget intervention is needed, particularly for health and education sectors. Furthermore, he calls for a change in the leadership of the Ministry of Finance and a return to previous VAT rates to alleviate economic pressures.
