MEP Siegfried Mureșan argues that the PSD is no longer credible enough to continue governing and calls for the measures adopted by the Bolojan government to reduce waste and the budget deficit to be maintained.

“Everything that has happened in recent weeks confirms one thing: the PSD must not return to power,” Mureșan said on Facebook on Thursday.

The MEP asserts that the Bolojan government, with the support of Romanians, managed to reduce the budget deficit by 28 billion lei in the first six months of the year, compared to the same period in 2025, which he associates with the “wastefulness” of the Ciolacu government.

“28 billion lei is equivalent to approximately 230 kilometers of highway, 1,800 modern daycare centers, or eight regional hospitals,” Mureșan asserts.

According to him, continuing “responsible, waste-free” governance is necessary for Romania’s sustainable development and for maintaining an investment budget, given that, starting next year, Romania will no longer receive funds from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

Mureșan also criticizes the PSD’s stance on the measures “that have put us in a better situation than we were in a year ago.” The MEP points out that the PSD “initiated and voted for the motion of no confidence against the Bolojan government.”

“As such, the PSD has zero credibility when it says it will continue the reforms and not return to wasteful spending,” the MEP states.

Siegfried Mureșan says that Romania needs a “credible” government that will continue the measures adopted by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan.

Mureșan says that “we need a government” that “will continue to reduce waste and reform the state” and “will continue to attract non-repayable European funds for cohesion, an area in which the Bolojan government has achieved record results over the past year.” Mureșan also argues that the new government’s reforms should ensure that “the reforms in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) are irreversible.”
