President Nicusor Dan said on Thursday that Romania must convince investors that it respects its commitments and that it will reduce deficits.Asked on Antena 1 TV station how the discussion with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Layen, was, and how he saw the reforms, everything that is happening, he indicated that there are two discussions on this topic."We have two discussions: we have a discussion with the European Commission and we have a much more important discussion with investors, which is mediated by the rating agencies. And that is where the real discussion is, because, legitimately, the rating agencies advise investors to invest or not to invest in a country, right? And we have to convince them that Romania respects its commitments, that it will reduce its deficits, that if they invest in Romania's public debt, they are not exposed. This is the big discussion. The Commission is trying to help us in the discussion with the rating agencies and with investors", the president said. In his opinion,prosecutors' offices are "inefficient" and that he is analyzing the replacement of heads in the judiciary whose mandates expire in 2026."We have some heads of prosecutors' offices whose mandates expire next spring. Until then, it is time for evaluations. We have already had several discussions and there will be several dozen more discussions with people from the judiciary," the head of state declared on Antena 1 TV station.He confessed that he is concerned about the situation in the justice system."I continue to say that prosecutors' offices are inefficient, that they do not prioritize the most important cases. In the court system, we are so-and-so and there can be many improvements," said Nicusor Dan. (Photo:https://www.presidency.ro/)
