România NU a pierdut azi doar 770 de milioane de euro din PNRR. Adică aproape 4 miliarde de lei. Banii erau gratis dar în loc să îi luăm tot o să îi plătim acum, cu dobândă și șpagă. Probabil știi că patru partide nu au reușit să cadă de acord pe o lege a salarizării în bugetul public. Legea trebuia livrată încă din 2023. Trei lucruri merită înțelese aici. Primul: banii erau grant, nu împrumut. Nerambursabili. Mergeau în infrastructură, sănătate, rețele. Proiectele nu dispar odată cu ei, doar se mută pe datorie. Diferența o plătim din taxe. Și vom plati cu indesat. La fondurile europene nu aveam dobândă. La banii de la buget vom plati toti taxe si dobânzi iar procurorii anti-coruptie vor verifica sau nu cutiile de pantofi. Al doilea: acordul politic exista în mai. În august s-a evaporat. Ceea ce înseamnă că problema nu a fost tehnică, ci de voință. PSD vrea sa pierdem toti. AUR sunt de acord. Al treilea, și cel mai scump pe termen lung: sistemul rămâne exact cum era. Grile haotice. Sporuri fără logică. Inechități pe care le știe toată lumea din interior și nimeni nu vrea să le atingă, pentru că fiecare atingere costă oameni din sistem, pile, amante, șpăgi și voturi. Am pierdut banii de două ori și jumătate. Dar am câștigat azi falimentul definitiv al clasei politice. Să vedem cine mai oprește AUR de acum. #Romania #PNRR #Coruptie
