"I supported the creation of a European platform against poverty and social exclusion precisely because 22.4% of Romania’s population have an income below the national poverty line. The per capita GDP in 2010 was roughly 55% lower than the average per capita GDP in the European Union. Not only is Romania allocating in these circumstances just 14% of GDP to social welfare, while the EU average is 27% of GDP, but Romanians’ purchasing power has also fallen drastically in the last year due to the austerity measures adopted by the current government. Since, at the moment, the measures taken by the Romanian Government are simply destroying the foundations of the European social model, excluding the fact that it is actually social welfare which has reduced poverty by 38% in the European Union, I think that this platform is needed to help countries like Romania combat poverty and social exclusion."@en1
