Interim Labor Minister Dragos Păslaru stated that the national currency is depreciating due to a crisis caused by politicians. Păslaru claimed that certain individuals are choosing to create turbulence and disrupt the economy. Interim Minister of Labor Dragoș Păslaru stated that funds are available for the payment of pensions, loans, and salaries within the budget system. Păslaru noted that there are no reasons for concern despite the ongoing government crisis. The minister said that the government continues to work despite political attacks. Additionally, a Romanian firm will construct a 62 km highway spanning from Suceava to Siret and Unghen. The interim transport minister has called both a Polish construction company and Romanian authorities to a meeting next week to resolve a dispute. Twenty-one train sets are currently parked at the Bucharest Obor station without being put into circulation. The delay is attributed to a lack of maintenance halls required for servicing the trains. Responsibility for the situation is being divided between the constructor and Romanian authorities.
