A presidential advisor has warned that civil servants risk leaking sensitive state documents by feeding them into artificial intelligence applications. It is a modern anxiety for a bureaucracy already facing more traditional pressures: a new Avangarde poll suggests the political race is narrowing, with one party now at risk of falling below the electoral threshold entirely. The Ministry of Finance has released its budget rectification project to shore up the labor, health, and agriculture departments, while the government prepares to dissolve all school inspectorates by 2027. Amid these reforms, a dispute has emerged over the integrity law; Nicușor Dan stands accused of undermining Dominic Fritz by sending the European Commission documents that do not quite match his public statements. Domestic life remains a matter of precarious math. While the government approved a protocol meal for 1,000 people in Qatar—an expense the prime minister accepted despite a previous refusal from his predecessor—many citizens report their salaries no longer cover basic utilities. For some, the solution is a diet of 'potatoes with baked potatoes' until the next payday.
