Verdict details
Confidence: 50%
Evidence quality: MEDIE
**What was analyzed:** The article presents information about the visit of interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan to the construction site of the power plant at Mintia and details about the power plant project. **What sources confirm:** External sources confirm that a gas power plant with a capacity of 1,700 MW is being built on the site of the former coal-fired power plant and that the investment is private, amounting to over 1.2 billion euros. **Limitations:** There is no evidence to confirm the visit of interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan to the Mintia construction site on the mentioned date. Additionally, specific deadlines for the completion of interconnections and ensuring the supply of natural gas are not supported by available sources. **Conclusion:** The article contains accurate information about the project but presents as confirmed facts elements for which there is insufficient evidence, making it misleading.
