Former government spokesperson Ioana Dogioiu accuses PSD ministers of budget data manipulation

Former government spokesperson Ioana Dogioiu used her personal Facebook page to launch a sharp attack on PSD ministers within the newly empowered executive headed by Luca Niculescu. She asserted that the Social Democrats are insisting on receiving the actual inheritance figures before they will permit a budget correction, putting finance minister Alexandru Nazare in a dilemma. According to Dogioiu, Nazare can either submit altered data that would mislead rating agencies or decline, which she says would lead PSD to block governmental functions.

She framed the issue as a choice between falsifying Romania’s fiscal record or facing a PSD-driven impasse. The finance ministry has announced a recent reduction in the budget deficit and a rise in tax revenues, crediting these trends to fiscal consolidation actions. Dogioiu’s statements reflect an escalating political confrontation over fiscal transparency and budgetary policy.
