Energy price increases go from 65% -70% to the state budget, directly or indirectly, and this money must be given back in full by the state through a simple system without bureaucracy, says the former Minister of Energy Răzvan Nicolescu.

“In energy there is a need of calm and seriousness. We need efficiency. There are price increases that go in the proportion of 65% -70% in the state budget, directly or indirectly. This money must be given back in full by the state through a simple and unbureaucratic system. There may be vouchers, there may be VAT exemptions, direct state aid or another system that works,” the former minister wrote on his social media page, according to financialintelligence.ro.

“In addition, there is unused money in an account for vulnerable consumers, and the provision of money for the modernization and efficiency of certain points of consumption is compatible with the regulation for the Modernization Fund. State aid must be differentiated according to needs, and economic agents must not be forgotten. The law must be obeyed by all. It can be done! It’s more a matter of organization than money,” says Nicolescu.
