Prime Minister Vasile Tofan initially requested a reduction in expenses for Independence Day celebrations due to budget deficit. However, the Ministry of Culture increased the budget from 500,000 lei to 10 million lei, leading to a final cost of over 9.8 million lei for a single day. The contract was awarded without competition through 'direct negotiations', citing urgency and creative specificity. Despite the increase in spending, the government did not respond to questions about how saving turned into record spending.
