Romania: Prison Crisis Deepens Amidst Intelligence Agency Salary Cuts

Concerns rise over salary cuts for Romanian intelligence agencies and the dire financial situation in the country's prisons. Cosmin Dorobantu, president of FSANP, a union representing Romanian prison staff, has recently released a video expressing alarm over the cuts to salaries at the SRI and STS, warning that prisons are already running out of money. "If they've cut at the SRI, what do you think will happen next?" he asked in the video, referring to the potential ripple effects of these austerity measures. Dorobantu's video has sparked a debate about the government's handling of public funds and the welfare of public servants. The union leader emphasized the lack of consultation with unions before the cuts were implemented. The FSANP is now calling on all police and prison unions to unite and demand solutions from the government. The situation highlights the need for transparent budgeting and open dialogue between the government and public sector unions.
