"Madam President, April this year was the first month in the last 20 years when fewer than 14 000 babies were born in Romania.
The crisis is discouraging many Europeans, who are therefore giving up the idea of having a family. However, the main reason for this in Romania is different. April marked nine months since the entry into force of the government’s anti-family and anti-birth measures. Every form of assistance supporting families and having children has been either abolished or drastically reduced, in exchange for some minute savings to the budget.
There are no crèches and not enough nurseries available. Mothers wishing to return to work have no help to look after their children. In addition, more than a thousand schools have been closed in the last two years, while more than 15 000 teachers have lost their jobs. It is becoming increasingly difficult for children from deprived regions to have access to education, while the school dropout rate is rocketing.
I call on the European authorities to take immediate action."@en1
