Romanian PM: Violence compromises country's economic stability
“I understand that Romanians are suffering, but problems cannot be solved overnight. Gradually we can build medium and long term stability, which can bring us more resources and which in time will become visible in people's lives,” said Emil Boc. He also said tough and unpopular measures were needed, but it would be a pity to compromise the stability the country has reached.
On a medium and long term, all violent acts endanger the country's economical stability, which increases the risk of high borrowing costs for Romania.
On the other hand, the health law issue is still on the table. The Health Minister will create a team to draft a new law on health, after the initial draft provoked debates and protests.
“I have been in touch with authorities at all times,” said Boc, explaining why it took the Government so long to comment publicly on recent days' protests in Romania. He added that the police had acted within their legal limits to keep the peace.
