Hundreds of union members from sectors including police (penitentiary, judicial, border), healthcare, education, and others protested in Bucharest against austerity measures. Public spending restrictions, such as the 2025 freeze on pensions and salaries, failed to meet expectations. The European Commission now forecasts an 8.6 percent budget deficit. If Romanian government does not submit a spending and revenue plan by 30 June, the EU may begin legal action to suspend European funds. EPA/Robert Ghement
