Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that Europe, in his opinion, would never match the US in terms of innovation. He pointed to overregulation, too many subsidies, high taxes, and a climate where the media and a large part of the power holders viewed entrepreneurs as a source to finance high government spending. Vande Reyde also stated that people in his country were portrayed as crazy when they admired Elon Musk as an entrepreneur. He accused fact-checker Tim Verheyden of regularly spreading fabricated stories about Musk and said that this, in his opinion, said a lot about the state of Europe. #Innovatie #Ondernemerschap #Europa (translated)

So we will make a fair and honest opposition, and I believe it is a period where it is very important for PNL to show that it is not PSD, where we reconnect with the people, where we listen to the people and build a pole of modernization, so that the people who work in this country, the people who believe that something can be done in life, through honest work, through normality, that the direction of Romania is the European one, will have someone to vote for in 2028," said Ilie Bolojan. #PNL #LucaNiculescu #IlieBolojan (translated)
