Government goes ahead with economic revival plan, but is "unaware of its budgetary impact"

One month after Vasile Blaga, PDL (Democratic-Liberal Party) general secretary, one of the most powerful ministers of the Cabinet, announced the imminent adoption of a new plan to reboot the economy, silence has descended over Victoria Palace (Government HQ). Has the plan been forgotten? "No, but we don't know its budgetary impact!"

Has the Government had any intention of adopting a plan to support the economy or not? Sulfina Barbu, PDL deputy, yesterday: "The plan has not been approved, yet. The Finance Ministry has not issued an answer (...)".
But is the plan still under discussion? "As far as I know, yes," Barbu says. Why is it not being announced, then? "We don't know its budgetary impact," she reckons.
Is it normal to announce an economic revival plan without having any idea about its effects? Laszlo Borbely, Environment Minister and supervisor of the plan from UDMR (Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania): "We do know its impact, but we had to wait for the IMF visit to see their position". "The plan will be announced in late August", says Borbely now.
