\ngovernments has taken responsibility, and another one containing accurate data
\nand used for financing party barons, the new Liberal finance minister Florin
\nC\u00ee\u0163u told a press conference on Thursday. He added he would notify the
\ncompetent authorities. According to the minister, the budget deficit for the
\nfirst 10 months of the year is 2.84% of the GDP, above the estimate for the
\nentire year, and unless measures are taken in the next one and a half months
\nthe figure will exceed 4%. Some 500 million euros in the public pension budget
\nis unaccounted for, C\u00ee\u0163u added, and explained that this year’s budget should have
\nbeen adjusted downwards. The former finance minister Eugen Teodorivici has
\nrejected the accusations and says the data regarding the budget execution for
\nthe first 9 months of the year have been presented out of context.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ncountries. Talks highlighted the dynamic pace of the Romania-US strategic
\npartnership and the intensification of cooperation in the area of defence,

\nIgor Dodon, who is the de facto leader of the Socialists’ Party. The
\ninstallation of the new cabinet comes less than 48 hours after a vote of
\nno-confidence against the government led by the pro-European Maia Sandu. She accused
\nher former Socialist partners of bringing down the government because they fear
