摘要：The current paper offers an analysis of the speeches about Romania's accession to the Eurozone of
the main personalities from the political and economic field in Romania. Adherence to the European
single currency represents a political decision that should be closely linked to an objective analysis
of the economy. In Romania, there are two factions that display a diametrically opposed discourse
regarding the accession to Eurozone. The paper’s added value to the literature is brought about by
the correlation between the political discourse and the one coming from the economy, thus testing
the veracity of the presented ideas. Finally, we have determined whether the speeches coming from
Romanian politics are anchored in the economic reality of the country and in that of the European
Union.
