Florin Cîțu: Hasty pay reform will raise public sector salaries

Former Prime Minister Florin Cîțu criticized the rushed draft of a new pay law, arguing that effective reform requires more time and political will. He emphasized that the current approach, linked to significant funding from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, lacks depth and understanding of true reform. Cîțu pointed out that simply passing a law without proper planning will not lead to genuine improvements in the public sector pay system. He advocated for a pay structure that includes performance criteria to motivate public sector employees, rather than just increasing salaries.
