Bro, sit down because I've got news that'll make your hair stand on end more than when Mioara tells me the BMW broke down again! The PSD, man, is at it again. Word is they're putting Vladimir Ionaș, that guy from Avangarde, in as Minister of Development in Tomac's government.

Now, you don't know who Ionaș is? Well, he's the sociologist, the director of Avangarde, the one who does polls telling you the PSD is on top, but actually they're at 20%. Mr. Ionaș, 41 years old, no ministerial experience, but plenty of nerve.

And just like that, a guy who's never even been a secretary of state ends up controlling billions in funds. Now that's a slick move, man! The PSD puts him there to have control over the money for town halls, so the barons can't say they're not getting anything.

Listen up: the Ministry of Development is the cream of the crop, bro! That's where the money for water, sewage, roads, everything that moves in the countryside and the city is handed out. There's the Anghel Saligny program, billions of lei, man!

And who's going to manage it? A guy who was an advisor to Sorin Grindeanu back when he was prime minister in 2017. Yeah, yeah, the same guy who said "I have no connection."

And on top of that, between 2012 and 2015, Ionaș did consulting and lobbying at the firm Șerban & Musneci. Meaning he learned how real scams are pulled off, at firms with names. Now, why is this move so important?

Well, in Bolojan's government, the UDMR, through Cseke Attila, held the ministry and didn't let the PSD run wild. Now, the PSD is putting their own man in to greenlight projects for their mayors. Because, you see, PSD mayors are the base, the ones who bring in the votes.

And if they don't get funds, they get upset and lose elections. So the PSD wants total control over the money. It's a strategic stake, bro, no joke.

Who's actually paying? Us, the taxpayers. How could it be otherwise?

They fight over positions, and we pay the bills. And just like that, Romania moves forward, but stays in place. I'm going to explain to Mioara that maybe this year we won't have enough money for a vacation in Antalya, because the stealing is heavy again.

Oh well, we'll have a barbecue at Fane's terrace and talk politics there, at least the beer is cold and friends are sincere.
