He added that liberalism does not consist of producing energy for a very low price and then reselling it through agents, and reminded that the Romanian state has backed two large investments in the automotive industry, the automobile plants in Craiova (south) and in Pitesti (south), and has issued guarantees for both, but that competition is well in place on this market.
‘I think that from many points of view, the meaning of liberalism across Europe is contradicted by what we, in Romania, understand by liberalism, or by the meaning self-styled Liberals attach to it,’ said President Basescu.
He voiced his opinion that practically liberalism consists of a series of measures reached by the Emil Boc government, such as the tax break on reinvested profit, the reduction of the number of taxes, measures aimed at encouraging competition, the introduction of the ‘First Home’ program which stimulates ownership.
