The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) Senator Claudiu Tarziu said on Wednesday that the 2022 state budget law is an important one, being, however, "treated lightly" by the governing coalition leaders, claiming that there is "a major asymmetry between the real needs of the Romanians and the support of the power structures".
He said there was a "major asymmetry" between the real needs of Romanians and the support of power structures, which are "more to the benefit of those in power."
"So, for example,it is being announced the setting up of a Family Ministry, which we would otherwise applaud if we thought it was a serious matter, but there is everywhere a PNL-PSD-UDMR [National Liberal Party, Social Democratic Party, Hungarian Democratic Union of Romanians] bundled work and this is what the budget that was allocated to it, of just about 37 million euros, shows. What can be done with this money first? Only for the staff and the main building of the ministry to function, maybe," mentioned Claudiu Tarziu.
He also said that education is underfunded, that there has been no increase in health in next year's budget, while supplements are being given to intelligence budgets.
"All in all, it's a mockery and I, for one, declare myself disgusted," the AUR Senator concluded.AGERPRES
