Marian Alecu, one of the best-known Romanian entrepreneurs: today’s Romania only belongs to politicians. I sit and wonder, do they really not see what state the country has reached, how much the standard of living has dropped, how depressed the people are on the street, how little confidence the political class as a whole shows, how much the purchasing power has decreased?

I don’t think there was another period in post-December history when the political class was more confused, chaotic, or poorly prepared than now. I am not at all interested in making an X-ray of the political class or its activity, but I am very interested in the way it is reflected in the everyday social and economic activity. I’ve been in business since the early 90s, but I’ve never seen a more confusing and depressing time than this. Everything takes place only by virtue of an emergency known for a long time but not taken into account until the last moment, that it is PNRR money, that it is the Salary Law, it does not matter how we finalize it, as long as we affect the most diverse social categories, the important thing is to tick it off at the last second, and the fact that it will turn out to be bad or incomplete does not matter. We checked them and after us, the flood. You might also be interested: The idea of ​​governing the country has become more of a topic of cancan, no one takes this responsibility seriously anymore, it is more important to abolish the proposals of others than to support your own. Consultations at Cotroceni are more colloquial chatter followed by weeks of explanations, but never solutions or the assumption of any responsibility. Have you heard from one side or another about any government program, short-term strategy? It does not matter to anyone that we are on the verge of an armed conflict with drones that have started to fall daily, that the fuel crisis will hit us, that inflation is galloping, that tourism or health in the state system is on the ground, that we are on the verge of being classified as junk. It matters that the two big parties have their internal battles and finish the art of running away from responsibility. Until recently, we kept complaining that corruption in the public sector is the main problem, but I think that lately (without it disappearing) it has been clearly overtaken by incompetence and lack of professionalism. Our politicians have the air that they are good at all fields and make decisions with an air of incredible superiority and sufficiency but, unfortunately for all of us, they are not good at anything else. To be honest, I expected the President to come with a new spirit, with ideas for reforming the political class and especially with the desire to find a strategy for the country that would give us the chance for a new beginning based on resources, capabilities, correct taxation of the economic environment and especially of work, adaptation to the complexity of the external environment. At least so far, nothing is happening, our politicians strictly see the vacancies, the petty interests and the little jabs between the parties presented to us as a war reaching paroxysm. I sit and wonder, do they really not see what state the country has reached, how much the standard of living has dropped, how depressed the people are on the street, how little confidence the political class as a whole shows, how much the purchasing power has decreased? In conclusion, I call the political class as a whole responsible for the generalized chaos in which we all operate, and if I knew that this article had any echo, however small, I would ask them to wake up, understand the major responsibility they have, put petty partisan interests aside and get down to business. Less TV, more effective work for politicians. We are tired of incompetence and infatuation. You understand that, whether we like it or not, you set the tone for everything that happens in this country and for now you are only avoiding leadership and involvement. I ask you as people, not as parliamentarians, ministers, etc.: do you like how this country is going, how the Romanians who elected you live? If so, this is our life, we deserve you and we deserve our destiny and suffering.Marian Alecu is one of the best-known Romanian entrepreneurs, he developed and managed the McDonalds business in Romania, participated in the development of the City Grill, 5 to Go chains, and now has business in the hotel field.
