PSD blacklisted the liberal energy minister. Virgil Popescu is recognized as incompetent and responsible for all the problems related to the cost of electricity for the population in the position of Social Democrat deputy Mihai Weber, which was taken over by the PSD.

For quite some time, the Social Democrats have attacked Energy Minister Marcel Čolaka, even claiming on Monday that Virgil Popescu’s policies have only helped energy-savvy people.

“Virgil Popescu, the Minister of Energy, has absolutely no idea what measures should be taken to compensate for the increase in electricity, natural gas and fuel prices. Since last year, the PSD proposed a solution to regulate prices for a certain period of time, but the PNL opposed it, choosing the subsidy option in the face of a growing budget deficit. After losing a year in which the national debt increased to support this compensation chosen by the Secretary of Energy, we conclude that PSD’s proposal is the only one that can stop prices that already have no economic justification.” , – says the post of the people’s deputy captured on the party’s official Facebook account.

“Given that the cold season of the year is approaching, when consumption will increase, and therefore costs will increase both for the population and for economic entities, I strongly ask the Minister of Energy to wake up and urgently come up with solutions to stop and curb the unjustified increase in prices for energy carriers and gas. He can choose between the decisions proposed by the PSD or the decisions taken by other countries of the European Union, but he must do it urgently, because Romanians cannot bear the burden of his incompetence indefinitely,” the social democratic leader also writes.

Marcel Cholaku said on Monday that the liberals want to shift responsibility for what is happening in the energy sector to the PSD, while the Social Democrat leader said that the Ministry of Energy, which is part of the PNL, should offer solutions and explanations.

He added that energy liberalization had “effectively led to the reinvention of smart people in energy”, charging that the favorable provision had slipped into the regulation. “We have an overtaxation of producers, but even there someone slipped through, in the Decree, to take the average price, so that they fell below 450, so that this overstatement was, and I would very much like the Prime Minister to find To find out who inserted this average price in the last order, let us also know who is underground playing games in Romania for energy,” said Colacu.
