UDMR president Kelemen Hunor stated that Romania should prioritize domestic legislative predictability over meeting European Commission requirements for salary reform. While acknowledging the loss of 770 million euros in PNRR funds, he argued that adopting a flawed bill to secure funding would have resulted in greater long-term economic damage.
