PSD's Dragnea: It's Iohannis' wish solely to delay as much as possible approval of state budget

Slobozia, Mar 9 /Agerpres/ - The budget was "drawn up very well and very rigorously", the wish of the head of state being to "delay as much as possible the approval of the state budget in order to do as much harm as possible to Romania", said on Saturday the Social Democrat Party chairman, Liviu Dragnea. "We have nothing to modify, because the budget was drawn up very well and very rigorously. It is only his wish, his intention to delay as much as possible the approval of the state budget in order to do as much harm as possible to Romania", stated the Social Democrat leader at the Election Conference of PSD Ialomita. If the government will adopt the Emergency Ordinance for the approval of the budgetary ceilings, he said, the budget will be adopted next week and sent back to the President. "He should sign it and promulgate it for it to be published so that millions of Romanian children get their allowances, the investment programs start coming into effect, the programs in healthcare where huge sums were allotted start being implemented", Dragnea added. President Klaus Iohannis announced, on Wednesday, that he will send back to Parliament for re-examination the Law on the State Budget for 2019.
