A reduction of 8 percent would mean a weakening of our ability to act, precisely at a time when Europe is being asked to do more in the areas of competitiveness, defense, and security. As a result, Europe would be less able to protect its citizens and economically compete with the major world economies. This would mean insufficient funding for agriculture and a reduction in support for our regions," the budget and common resources rapporteurs Siegfried Mureșan (EPP), Carla Tavares, Danuše Nerudová (EPP), and Sandra Gómez López (S&D) assessed in a joint statement. #EuProračun #VarčneDržave #Pogajanja (translated)

"We reject it from the start, as it does not take into account the new priorities" "The European Parliament firmly rejects the cuts proposed by the Irish Presidency of the EU Council to the future multiannual budget of the European Union. The negotiation package regarding the future multiannual budget of the European Union, presented today by the Irish Presidency of the EU Council, ahead of the European Council next week, provides for an 8% reduction compared to the initial budget proposed by the European Commission. At the same time, the proposed package does not consider the moderate 10% increase in the budget voted by the European Parliament in April. As the chief negotiator of the European Parliament, I send a clear message: this negotiation position cannot be accepted by Parliament. We reject it from the start, as it does not take into account either the new priorities, such as defense and competitiveness, or the traditional priorities, such as agriculture and cohesion,” said MEP Siegfried Mureșan in a message posted on his Facebook page on Saturday. #BugetEuropean #Irlanda #Romania (translated)

"The proposal of the Irish Presidency cannot be the starting point for an agreement. A reduction of 8% of the Commission's proposal, which already maintains the budget only at the level of the current period, would mean weakening our capacity to act, in the context of Europe being asked to do more regarding competitiveness, defense, and security. This would leave Europe less able to protect its citizens and compete economically with the major economies of the world. It would mean underfunding agriculture and reducing support for our regions. National budgets have increased in recent years, while the EU budget has not kept up. Instead, 10% of its purchasing power has disappeared due to high inflation," said Siegfried Mureșan, according to a statement from the European Parliament. #bugetUE #ParlamentulEuropean #reducerebugetară (translated)

The PSD continues to invite us to govern alongside them. No, thank you!

The political uncertainty that currently exists in the country can easily turn into economic uncertainty. We are already seeing that investors are delaying investments and waiting with major investment decisions until they gain greater security. Siegfried Mureșan, Dan's last defeated candidate for prime minister, emphasizes that delaying early elections could lead to negative economic consequences. (translated)

“any cuts to the budget, which would weaken Europe in the years ahead, will not be a basis for the consent of the Parliament.
