MOTION The
\nChamber of Deputies in Bucharest on Monday debated a simple motion to censor
\nFinance Minister Marcel Bolos, part of the Social Democratic- National Liberal
\ncoalition cabinet. The opposition parties USR and Force of the Right, which
\nintroduced the motion, believe he is responsible for increased taxation, as an
\neffect of applying fiscal measures that the government took responsibility for
\nin Parliament recently. The signatories also say that the main reason for the
\nbudget deficit is the explosion in state spending, and draw attention to the
\nfact that measures taken by the government would not resolve the situation. USR
\nMP Claudiu Nasui, former minister of the economy, said that the new taxes hurt
\nsmall businesses, which will be forced to reduce their workforce, and bring up
\nprices for goods and services, which will have an immediate impact on the
\npopulation. In reply, Marcel Bolos said that Romania is at a crossroads, and
\nthat concrete and sustainable measures are needed to overcome this hurdle. The Finance
\nMinister said that, absent this, there is a risk of losing access to European
\nfunds. The vote for this simple motion is set for Tuesday. <\/p>\n
