PSD's Grindeanu says greater funds are needed to rebuild homes, roads in Suceava and Neamt

Interim president of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) Sorin Grindeanu stated on Friday that for the people who have suffered immensely in the counties of Suceava and Neamt, the Government must allocate additional funds for the reconstruction of destroyed homes, the repair of damaged roads and bridges and for the support of the families who have lost everything.

"The first aid package to be approved today by the Government for those severely affected by the floods in Suceava and Neamt is an important, yet insufficient step! Larger amounts are urgently needed for: rebuilding damaged homes, repairing the affected roads and bridges, and offering real support to families who have lost everything. People need help now, not actions aimed at building an image or passing responsibility between state authorities! I am in constant communication with the presidents of Suceava and Neamt County Councils, Gheorghe Soldan and Daniel Vasilica Harpa, who are genuinely coordinating the actions at the scene! They are out there day and night, alongside intervention teams and volunteers," Grindeanu wrote on his Facebook page.

He added that the role of any elected official is to find real solutions, not just to "ramble."

"We will do everything in our power to ensure that every leu needed reaches its destination. Repairing roads, bridges, water networks, and providing assistance to the affected families are top priorities. People need to rebuild their lives. And we will be there to help them with the reconstruction! I want to thank everyone who got involved in the rescue and intervention efforts: firefighters, gendarmes, police officers, doctors, local authority employees, volunteers, and every Romanian who lent a helping hand when it was needed. The true Romania shines through in moments like these! I also want to thank Romanians everywhere who donated, mobilized, and stood by t hose affected. Your generosity means so much," Grindeanu said.

The PSD leader also noted that, as a member of the coalition, he would do everything necessary to ensure the Government provides more intensive support for the reconstruction. "We will not allow the people of Suceava and Neamt to remain in this situation for long," he added.
