PM Ciolacu: Romania can develop to its true potential by encouraging young people to get involved
Romania can develop to its true potential only by encouraging young people to get involved, by promoting and supporting their projects and actions, according to Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, told Agerpres.
Ciolacu on Wednesday joined other ministers at the Government House in the opening event of the 3rd edition of the Forum of Romanian Students Everywhere.
"It is a great honour to me to participate today in a project of such scope, organised in such a complex partnership between youth organisations. Let me welcome on this occasion the alliance among the Union of Romanian Students, the UN Youth Association in Romania, the Federation Medical Students Associations of Romania and the League of Romanian Students Abroad. At the same time, I am glad that the Forum of Romanian Students Everywhere is becoming a tradition for the government of Romania. Because Romania can develop to its true potential only by encouraging young people to get involved, by promoting and supporting your projects and actions! That's why you can rest assured of my full support!" said Ciolacu.
He pointed out the need for a partnership between generations that would allow young people access to the government's decision.
"Your access to the government's decision is a necessity, and your access to the information is also a necessity. To get the information, there must be a partnership. For us to have your feedback and your vision, there must exist this partnership," said Ciolacu.
He added that at this moment Romania needs "a quick administrative reform."
"The Romanian society has evolved enormously in recent years, but so have the demands of the Romanians and of you. That's why we need well-trained young people in administration. Young people who can set things in motion, dynamic young people. If possible, at the same speed at which you actually operate, day in and day out. Our big problem now is not how much we develop. Government outlays for strategic projects, both from European funds and from funds from the national budget, are vital in the field of energy , road infrastructure, agriculture. That shows us very clearly the size of Romania's growth. It is for the first time in Romania's history that we have a budget based on programmes and we have allocated 7% of GDP for direct investments. Romania's big problem, on the other hand, and our personall - whether in the central administration, local or civil society or in school - is the speed at which we develop. The war in Ukraine has changed the pace and will continue to change it, and I think that things need to change. We have no more time to waste. It is obvious that we have to find solutions to speed it up," said Ciolacu.
