The inhabitants in the rural areas of Moldavia's counties will benefit a governmental financial support worth 20,000 lei for the improvement of their living conditions, on Friday said in northeastern Botosani the leader of the ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) Liviu Dragnea.
According to him, the measures, not a state aid nature, will be adopted through an Emergency Ordinance (OUG) and will be valid for six counties of Northern Moldavia.
"Starting from the idea that this region has GDP per capita of 27,000 lei/year, as compared to the 44,000 lei the national average, I conceived, I drafted a specific programme of punctual support for this region. The 20,000 lei grant for each household to improve their living conditions in the rural environment and provide agricultural machinery to the households. For those who want more money, they could go up to 40,000 lei and we could grant them loan guarantees. And here we are talking about thermal and energy insulation, heating with thermal power plants, connecting their households to the water, sewage and gas networks, inside the house sanitary fitting, hot water through solar systems," Dragnea asserted.
Moreover, Liviu Dragnea spoke about endorsing a state aid programme to support the development of the most disadvantaged areas by encouraging investment and creating jobs in a sustainable context.
"Through this programme, the buildings for health care, for the food industry, the tourist buildings and the storage constructions will be supported," the Social-Democrat leader added.
Dragnea asserted that these measures are not electoral, but are a consequence of the fact that the budget revenues allow it.
"2019 is the year when the state budget level, the revenues' level allow us to come with this rather well shaped support programme for Moldavia's counties. There are elections almost every year in Romania. Based on this logic, it means one doesn't have to do anything, anymore. Electoral, non-electoral we are interested in this programme to be implemented. It is the attribution of all of the state institutions, civil ones to communicate this programme to all the citizens in Moldavia, to all the companies in Moldavia, to all the public bodies, because there are some components of this programme that can bring about the earnest kick off of a reliable increase in this region, complemented by the large infrastructure projects that have already been initiated," Dragnea concluded.
