Florin Manole, the Minister of Labor, stated that there have been no discussions in the government regarding new taxes, emphasizing the financial strain already faced by citizens and pensioners. He expressed skepticism about the feasibility of imposing additional taxes, noting that pensioners have already endured a freeze on their pensions for two years. Manole highlighted the existing fiscal burden on pensioners earning over 3,000 lei and mentioned the planned elimination of a specific tax by 2027. Additionally, Sorin Grindeanu, the president of PSD, reiterated the commitment to increase pensions as mandated by law without raising taxes, indicating that budget discussions will occur alongside the approval of next year's budget.
