Verdict: TRUE

Verdict details

Confidence: 78%

Evidence quality: MEDIE

**What was analyzed:** A press analysis regarding the Government's efforts to adopt the unified salary law in October, after exceeding the PNRR deadline of August 31, mentioning a budget cap of 10 billion lei and a possible indexing of 7%. **What sources confirm:** Official statements from Minister Dragoș Pîslaru confirm the intention to adopt the project by the end of October to partially recover the penalty of 770 million euros from the PNRR, as well as existing tensions with the unions. **Limitations:** The figure of 10 billion lei does not correspond to the limits reported in negotiations with the European Commission (which indicated 8 billion lei), and the scenario of a 7% indexing is not confirmed by official documents. **Conclusion:** Verdict: ALMOST TRUE (trust 78%). Of the 5 verified statements: 3 confirmed, 1 misleading, 1 unconfirmed. (Source Quality: AVERAGE)
