Labor Minister Simona Bucura Oprescu said on Sunday evening that the reform of state institutions, which Prime Minister Marcel Çolaku took up in parliament, “is not carried out only on paper”. “The government spending spigot is very carefully controlled,” she said.

“The Prime Minister undertook bold reforms, which concern not only pensions, but also deep reforms of the Romanian state, not on the backs of Romanians, on the backs of the private sector, but by coming up with reforms that will improve the collection, which will lead to a decrease in evasion of payment taxes, will lead to a more coherent state policy,” said Simona Bucura Oprescu on Realitatea Plus.

When asked whether the reorganization of state institutions is only on paper, Simona Bukura Oprescu answered: “It is not on paper. The public spending spigot is very carefully kept under control so that the Romanian state is more efficient, flexible and has the administrative capacity to better serve Romanian citizens.” (Source: News.ro)
