Deputy Prime Minister Raluca Turcan said that the Liberals have decided to take responsibility for the state budget, given that in Parliament it has been proven that there is "lack of responsibility and long-term commitment of those from the PSD [the Social Democratic Party] and a lack of full mobilization from the parties that currently support the Government."
Asked about the alternative of passing the budget through Parliament after a vote of a PNL-favorable majority, the Liberal deputy prime minister explained: "It is risky, because the majority we have now is not a solid one, we are only five votes apart and it is very possible that on some bills that sound good, like some projects that people think from an electoral perspective, to create circumstantial alliances that will wreck your budget built as it is on fragile pillars and you end up, from a good deed, or some good measures (...) to actually hurtimg people in the long run."
