Nazare: Legea salarizării nu permite sume suplimentare

Alexandru Nazare, the interim Minister of Finance, warns that increasing the salary fund beyond 8 billion lei could strain the budget. He emphasizes the need for sustainable salary legislation that considers long-term financial commitments. Nazare highlights that public sector salaries account for nearly 40% of Romania's tax revenues, significantly higher than the EU average. He stresses the importance of a predictable salary system to avoid recurring financial pressures and calls for a reform that balances employee equity with fiscal responsibility. The new law should not jeopardize investments or future generations.
