How many spies Romania has got? The budgets allocated to the intelligence services could provide the answer
Have you ever thought how many agents our country’s got? A straight answer to that question is provided by the very budgets of the four intelligence services. Allegedly , SRI, SIE, STS and SPP would count around 15.000 employees. 

That means one secret agent to every 1200 citizens. Therefore, the services budgets match the number of employees, their summed up budgets are twice larger than the Ministry of Health’s budget.

In our country there are about 40 thousand doctors. The 2014 budget allocated to the Ministry of Health is about 730 million lei. Instead, the government has been more generous with the secret services. A simple analysis of the budgets for SRI, SIE, STS and SPP salaries of will show that they are almost double than that of Health. That is over 1.3 billion lei. That's without taking into account the protection and guard services DGA, DGIPI and DIA.

Let’s analyze one at the time. 

The Romanian Intelligence Service seems to have hit the jackpot in the money distribution process. They received over 880 million lei. By 150 million more than the Ministry of Health. Their colleagues at SIE were somewhat less lucky. They’ve "only" gotten 128 million lei.

A budget just as generous was awarded to the STS. That is 188 million lei. And for SPP , the Government allocated almost 120 million lei.

In cash or in kind, the amounts secret agents get in addition to their basic salary reach hundreds of millions of lei. SRI gives a lot of money for social assistance or staff training while the Special Telecommunications Service buys a lot of food. About 24 million lei. The SPP also allocated more money for meal tickets and for the working conditions as well.

If we divided the agents budget by the amount of a gross salary in such a state institution we have approximately 14,100 secret agents. One agent for every 1200 Romanians. Also, according to the budget, over 9200 work in SRI, 1500 at SIE, 2600 at STS and 800 in SPP.
