The diplomat noted that in recent months there have been mass protests, strikes and other demonstrations in the country by various civil servants and government workers, mainly demanding higher wages.

Serious inflation continues, and the state budget and foreign trade deficit are growing. Thus, the Romanian Central Bank’s revenues in 2022 decreased by almost half compared to the previous year.
