Romania lives one of the most challenging moments after the announcement of the PNRR: the collapse of the National Plan of Redress and Resility, the tool that had to modernize the country after the Covid-19 pandemic. Since President Klaus Iohannis's grandiose promises from November 2020, when he announced to obtain 80 billion euros for the next nine years, to today's cruel reality – a PNRR retezat from 28.5 billion to only 21.6 billion euros – the road has been paved with administrative incompetence, political calculations precedent. The government led by Ilie Bolojan announced yesterday that «Romania is facing a systemic, imminent and exceptional gravity», generated by the massive over -contract of PNRR projects. The executive prepares an emergency ordinance for the suspension of the program, and the official documents show that projects with physical progress between 0% and 30% will be fully suspended, due to the high risk of unfinished until the deadline from August 31, 2026. The cuts are devastating for the vital sectors of the economy. The hospital infrastructure, seen as saving the Romanian medical system, loses 770 million euros from the non -reimbursable funds. From the initial amount of 1.047 billion euros for 19 new hospitals, Romania will keep only 275 million in grants, the rest to be covered from loans. Alexandru Rogobete, the Minister of Health, recently gave guarantees that only 14 hospitals can be completed by 2026.
