It is a crime for local communities that are exposed to floods to kick away 350 million euros, declared on Thursday at the Poiana Largului viaduct, the Minister of Environment, Waters and Forests, Diana Buzoianu, referring to the fact that Apele Romane did not attract these non-refundable funds."Until this year, there were 350 million euros, which Apele Romane, unfortunately, failed to attract. We sent the Control Body to Apele Romane last week, precisely to see why this money was not attracted. The reality is that, in a context of economic crisis, to throw away and kick away 350 million euros and then say why we don't have money from the national budget, is a crime. It is a crime for all the communities that are exposed to floods and which, unfortunately, could not be saved or protected through concrete measures," said Diana Buzoianu.The Minister of the Environment came to the area of the Poiana Largului viaduct where hundreds of tons of wood and other types of waste, including animal carcasses, were collected by the floods from Sunday night to Monday.
