The Prime Minister noted that this is being discussed at the level of the Government.

  • “We had such a discussion, and it is obvious that if there are two minimum wages in the economy, it is very difficult to support a child. Therefore, it is necessary to work, first of all, on reducing the taxation of minimum incomes.
  • If this happens: the family has two minimum incomes, that is, the threshold, let’s consider the lowest income threshold. And so that this does not happen (…) it is necessary to somehow balance.
  • If we constantly debalance, we will have a huge deficit and dysfunctions in the macroeconomic system,” said Marcel Cholaku.

The prime minister made these statements after being asked what income he thought a family with one child should have to live in Romania.
