Pensioners with incomes below 3,000 lei will receive a second financial aid installment in December, ranging from 300 to 500 lei, as confirmed by Minister of Labor Florin Manole. He assured that the funds are allocated in the budget and there are no concerns regarding the payments. Looking ahead to next year, Manole expressed a preference for pension indexing over one-time aid, which he deemed insufficient. He criticized the reliance on temporary support as a form of austerity rather than genuine reform. Additionally, he defended the actions of PSD ministers regarding the implementation of PNRR commitments against accusations from former Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan.
