The National Bank of Romania criticizes the use by the PSD in electoral spaces of statements taken out of context by some NBR specialists, it is mentioned in a statement sent on Sunday by the National Bank of Romania, cited by Agerpres.
“The National Bank of Romania strongly disapproves of the use of older or newer images and statements, taken out of context, by some NBR specialists in PSD election campaign advertisements. The NBR is an apolitical, independent institution and the abusive use of such statements, which do not have their own political connotation, affect the status and neutrality of our institution ”, states the NBR statement.
BNR demands justice from the parties
The National Bank of Romania asks all political parties active in the electoral campaign not to misuse the opinions expressed by various representatives of the bank.
The NBR calls on all political parties involved in the electoral campaign to respect the apolitical nature of the institution and not to use in an incorrect and partisan way the opinions expressed by various representatives of the bank, especially when they do not reflect an official approach adopted. All the analyzes and points of view that reflect the position of the NBR can be found in the reports and analyzes published on the institution’s website or in the press releases of the Governor ”, it is mentioned in the statement sent by the National Bank from Romania.
That made them fight
The spot to which the institution refers is issued this month and makes a comparison between the austerity policy of the Boc government during the global financial crisis 10 years ago, and the commitments made by the Orban government that there will be no increase in taxes. The electoral slogan used by the PSD in this electoral spot is “They (no, the Orban government) want history to repeat itself. 2020 – NBR announces austerity. Salary and tax increases follow. Will you leave them?
The clip actually uses statements taken out of context by NBR’s monetary policy advisor Lucian Croitoru, as well as Valentin Lazea, the institution’s chief economist.
