Romania publishes state firm executives' earnings, political ties

Romania's government launched a transparency platform disclosing earnings and political affiliations of 586 executives across 121 state-owned companies. Data shows 46 affiliated with PSD, 43 with PNL, 17 with USR, and 1 with UDMR, with 360 unaffiliated and 119 unspecified. This is a first-time transparency move aimed at reducing political patronage, though the accuracy and completeness of the data remain unverified.
