"I want to assure the citizens that the measures are aimed at two major goals: on the one hand, protecting the population - and tariffs will be kept at the levels set forth in Ordinance 27, there will be no changes - and on the other hand, we are discussing measures to protect the agri-food industry, SMEs, which - according to our analysis - represent the engine of the economy, and they must keep working. Also, we maintain our investment goals, we cannot overcome this crisis without a functioning economy, without investments in the economy," the Prime Minister explained.
