In a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, the president criticized the ruling Social Democrat Party (PSD) again and requested the Parliament to make a “healthy budget” for Romania.
Iohannis accused the social-democrats of significantly reducing the budgets of local communities and investments.
Earlier Wednesday the court rejected the president’s challenge to the 2019 state budget but approved his challenge over the law setting spending caps for the year. Judges agreed the spending caps law had been passed through a faulty procedure.
