PSD Criticized by Own Mayor: Buzău Official Sounds Alarm on Romania's Debt

Buzău Mayor Constantin Toma, a member of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), publicly criticized his party's performance following the recent presidential elections. In a post-election interview captured by Stirile Kanal D, Toma stated, "Din păcate, partidul meu nu a făcut absolut nicio reformă în acești ultimi patru ani." He further expressed concerns about the country's rising debt, warning of a potential "junk" rating that could lead to IMF intervention and austerity measures. Toma's statements highlight internal divisions within the PSD and raise questions about the party's future direction. His decision to speak out against his own party underscores the significance of his criticism and the potential for political realignment in Romania.
