The AUR government program contains several fanciful ideas for creating opportunities for Romanian companies, helping young people and guaranteeing housing at a symbolic price.
AUR wants to create a sovereign fund from which further investments can be made, the industry to be Romanian, and the roads to be built by Romanian companies.
“We are establishing a national program in which natural wealth such as minerals, waters, oil, gas, gold and rare metals from the subsoil will be processed (primary, secondary, tertiary), as well as forests, plants and other elements that are part from the national wealth”, writes AUR, according to ziare.com.
Liviu Dragnea, source of inspiration for AUR
Although citing another source of inspiration, AUR brings back to the discussion an idea promoted by Liviu Dragnea in 2018. He said that the establishment of the Sovereign Development and Investment Fund (FSDI) will help develop the large infrastructure and reindustrialize Romania, invest in agriculture, it will generate a lot of jobs and will contribute to the increase of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
“The financial resource produced by each individual wealth will be publicly highlighted, day by day, as part of the Sovereign Investment Fund, following the model of Norway.
The Sovereign Investment Fund will be responsible for managing Romania’s natural resources, placing the collected sums in low-risk investments outside the country, covering the pension fund deficit from the earnings obtained and investing in key areas of national interest (energy, steel, metallurgy, etc. ).
The Sovereign Investment Fund will be organized in the form of a state fund that can be capitalized from Romanian taxpayers’ money, allowing them to become shareholders”, writes AUR.
Housing for one leu for people
In the Governance Program it is also provided that the institutions of the local administration will be depoliticized, and to attract the population to the village, the solution of providing free housing was found.
If you move to the country, AUR gives you other people’s houses for free. This provides for the “Implementation of the “Houses for 1 leu” Program for young people from Romania and Romanians from the diaspora who want to return to the country”.
Also, AUR would like Romania to be like in Dubai: “We support the creation of artificial islands and peninsulas by accepting private investments in the Black Sea area (as in Dubai)”, says AUR in the tourism chapter.
