Summary
Eugen Tomac laid out his government program as Romania’s prime minister-designate, vowing to press ahead with painful austerity despite the country’s deepening political crisis.
Tomac said the state would back the private sector, stop “fighting” entrepreneurs and pursue economic growth to generate wealth for struggling Romanians.
The plan comes with the clock ticking toward a make-or-break parliamentary vote that will determine whether he can secure support to form a government.
Tomac, a member of the European Parliament since 2019, has been tasked with steering Romania out of the crisis while balancing reform demands with political survival.
