“I refuse to work in an administration led by a prime minister who, in the last few years, has constantly attacked and deprecated the activity of ANAF and its management for personal and political reasons,” he said.
Sorin Blejnar was dismissed from the top of the tax authority two weeks ago, after Prime Minister Mihai Razvan Ungureanu chastised him for failing to meet a target of additional budgetary collections, 1.5% of the GDP, by combating tax evasion.
In an interview with MEDIAFAX, Blejnar said the prime minister had actually given him until the end of the year to do so, but the deadline was later changed, through a press release, to two months.
After his dismissal, Blejnar went on to lead the department for the investigation of large wealth.
