The USR chair Dan Barna considers that the budget proposed by the Government for 2019 is a budget "of lies and of pushing Romania into crisis", it is based on "aberrant" revenues and the expenditures are "impossible to cover".
"In the case of investments, we are presented with a fantasy by Mr. Valcov [prime minister's adviser]. If we had a 3pct increase in the last two years, we are now promised a 4.6pct. He has no references in the budget that can make them possible," Barna said.
Referring to the "increase in resources left to the big cities", he said that this is "doubled by aberrant spending to be covered by these cities."
"It is just a PR image that Liviu Dragnea has sold to the mayors he has. From this budget, I think that the localities are just victims and not the beneficiaries", added the USR head.
