"Beyond these figures, the situation can be observed by walking around the country and looking at how industrial, commercial or residential constructions have become a very visible field, generating jobs. To these private investments are added those of the government and based on European funds, which constantly bring public infrastructure improvements in almost every field, from highways and railways to hospitals and schools," Nicolae Ciuca wrote, on Tuesday, in a post on his Facebook page.
