The PSD leader also said that the law on selling agricultural land and forestry is a legislative priority for this parliamentary session.
“The project is almost ready (…). We are interested in increasing the chances of Romanian citizens to buy Romanian land. We cannot stand indifferent to what is happening in Romania with our land being bought by foreigners,” Dragnea said.
Prime Minister Mihai Tudose declared on Saturday evening after the PSD’s meeting in Mamaia that he plans to establish a list of strategic objectives of national importance, including Tarom, Bucharest Airports Company and Bucharest-Brasov highway.
“Regarding the Bucharest-Brasov highway (…) we are seriously considering whether this big project can be declared as strategic project of national importance. It is not on European money, it is with money from the budget. Money is anyway in the budget of the Ministry of Transport. Let’s start as quickly as possible, especially because the designs are ready, with environmental notices, we can actually start building on this section,” PM Mihai Tudose said in a press conference.
The Premier mentioned that it is intended that Tarom and the Bucharest National Airports Company will be declared strategic objectives of national importance.
Referring to Pension Pillar II, PM Tudose said that “everything that means Pillar II talks is at the level of the Ministry of Finance, the ASF and the National Pensions House. Small problems have been found there with regard to the commissions – they were supposed to be collected in the first year, they have collected it for 10 years. The analysis will be completed next week,” Tudose said.
He added that there is enough money to pay pensions.
