Former president Traian Băsescu blames past ministers for Romania's energy crisis

Former Romanian president Traian Băsescu has criticized previous administrations for the country's ongoing energy difficulties, holding past energy ministers and prime ministers responsible for shutting down power generation capacity without establishing replacements. In a recent statement, Băsescu described the decisions as "a criminal case" caused by incompetent officials who compromised national energy security.

To address the current challenges, the former head of state called on leadership to declare a state of emergency in the energy sector. He argued that immediate emergency intervention is necessary to manage supply risks and counter the long-term effects of reduced domestic electricity generation.
