Pensions for those who worked in difficult conditions have decreased after recalculation due to a fundamental error in the new pension law. Expert Sorin Nemeș argues that the new formula disadvantages individuals with shorter contribution periods, failing to account for the harsher working conditions they faced. The recalculation method has shifted from considering individual contribution periods to a fixed average, which benefits those with longer contributions while penalizing those with shorter ones. This change has led to a significant disparity in pension amounts, with many pensioners receiving lower calculated pensions despite their previous higher amounts being maintained temporarily. Nemeș criticizes the law for treating unequal situations equally, resulting in a loss of purchasing power for affected pensioners.
