Verdict: TRUE
Verdict details
Confidence: 52%
Evidence quality: MEDIE
**What was analyzed:** The political statement of AUR deputy Ionelia Priescu regarding the energy crisis, the situation of the Oltenia Energy Complex (Rovinari Power Plant), and the responsibility of previous governments. **What sources confirm:** Media and official sources confirm that Ionelia Priescu issued this statement, that Romania is facing major energy pressure due to the closure of coal units without completed replacement capacities, and that AUR has consistently supported this position. **Limitations:** The procedural parliamentary details regarding specific budget amendments from 2025/2026 and the exact amounts regarding emission certificates could not be directly validated from the legislative files in the available sources. **Conclusion:** The major facts related to the statement and the context of the energy vulnerability of CE Oltenia are consistent with the documented reality, presented within a framework of partisan political communication.
