"There are very large amounts that have been unpaid invoices, probably many more are waiting to be uploaded to the Ministry's platform, and here we are talking about amounts of several billion lei. When I came to the Ministry of Development, I found 2.3 billion lei of unpaid invoices in the minister's platform on September 11, the date when the platform closed. But today, as we speak, we still anticipate another 2.5 billion lei necessary for the works that have been executed but unpaid," Alexandru Stoica stated on Friday evening, on B1 TV. #AnghelSaligny #decontare #guvern (translated)

"We need to have an analysis at the government level. We could implement a price cap not only on basic food but on all food items on the shelves of retail stores. We need to look at inflation, we have to break down this inflation into subgroups; we are talking about agri-food products but also other economic sectors. From my point of view, because that's how it is, Romania relies on consumption; we need to increase consumption because we can even destroy the food industry. When there is no consumption, productivity in a processing unit decreases. And when a processing unit has 600 employees and operates 12 out of 24 hours, if consumption has decreased, it will definitely reduce its activity, and of course, what we have seen in recent months is unemployment of over 60,000 people in the industry in Romania," said Florin Barbu in an intervention at Digi24. #Agricultură #Prețuri #IndustriaAlimentară (translated)

"Trump encouraged voters to imagine that he was on the ballot. The Democrats readily seized this opportunity. As a result, they won in states and districts where Democrats had not won for decades. I have no doubt that it was a vote against Trump. And for the Republicans, this is a signal: if they want to reach their voters again, they need to leave the Trump era in the past," Bolton said. #ASVvēlēšanas #Republikāņi #Demokrāti (translated)
