PSD resumes attack on foreign companies. Vâlcov accuses a $ 2 billion robbery from not updating gas prices in the last 12 years

Darius Vâlcov, Premier’s adviser Viorica Dăncilă, presented on Thursday a note from the National Agency for Resources (NAMR) that the budget had lost 2 billion dollars due to the fact that the gas price was not updated in the last 12 years, but also that the change in the fee in February brought 117 million lei to the budget in the first semester. Vâlcov’s message comes as the issue of natural gas has been a topic debated this year, with numerous attacks on oil companies.

Viorica Dăncilă sent a letter to the President of the European Commission about the protests of August 10, when he attacked Klaus Iohannis

„The August 10 event became a topic of intense political disputes, most party leaders appealed for calm and isolation of the disruptive forces of public order. However, there have been heard voices by political leaders who have called for continued protests, accusing state institutions, law enforcement officials and those in all member states to protect citizens against aggression and violent actions. I believe that these attempts to violently remove a legitimate government can be a dangerous precedent among the democratic states, „wrote Viorica Dăncilă in the letter sent to the European Commission.”
