Avertismentul ministrului Muncii: „Aproape 6 miliarde de lei pentru Sănătate și Educație, maximul pe care România și-l permite”

Romania's interim Minister of Labor, Dragoș Pîslaru, states that the country cannot exceed a budget of 6 billion lei for Health and Education, warning against unrealistic salary promises. He emphasizes that exceeding this limit could lead to severe financial consequences, including a downgrade of the country's credit rating. The proposed salary package is the maximum the state can afford, and any additional increases could jeopardize Romania's commitments to reduce the budget deficit. Political support for the new salary law is divided, with some parties backing it while others express concerns over potential electoral costs.
