Starting January 1, 100,000 special pensioners may emerge, receiving pensions between 6,200 and 18,000 lei. The government has the option to delay these payments but faces significant financial implications. Prime Minister Luca Niculescu's administration is prioritizing pension indexing, as regular pensions have not been adjusted for two years, impacting retirees' purchasing power. A 2019 law granting special pensions to local officials remains in effect, and the government has repeatedly postponed its implementation. If not addressed, the Constitutional Court could enforce the law, leading to immediate and retroactive payments. A legislative proposal to abolish these special pensions is stalled in committees, raising concerns about future financial burdens.
