" The motivation of these legislative initiatives is without justified economic logic and social, and they are also clearly partisan like that on the abolition of the obligations of conformity in matters of corporate governance by the state enterprises, gives way to abuse, politicizing management and lack of accountability for the use of public funds. We are witnessing an unprecedented mobilization of decision-makers around urgent and important peripheral themes for Romania and Romania over the past 18 months, while national priorities such as education, health, infrastructure have not gone beyond the "strategies" drawer.
