Acting President of the Senate, liberal Alina Gorgiu, said on Saturday during a meeting of senior PNL representatives in Argeş that the National Liberal Party with a liberal prime minister will increase pensions for Romanians by January 1, 2023, enough to cover the level of inflation and that they will go with this increase to 15 percent, she proves to the pensioners that, “when they hear about the differential increase, they should know from her that this person does not really want to increase pensions, because any differential increase is unconstitutional. Gorghiu also said that the PNL’s solution is not to tax pensions below 3,000 lei, a project currently in parliament.

“I guarantee you one thing, the National Liberal Party, with a liberal prime minister, as President Iohannis also said, from January 1, 2023, the pensions of Romanians will increase enough to cover the level of inflation. We will go with that increase to 15 percent, regardless of the discussions you hear now, that the Secretary of the Treasury cannot, that the Secretary of Labor says 10% and other aids. The indexation of the pension score and pension increase should be done for all pensioners, because pensions in Romania are small, we are talking about contributions that are small and very small,” the PNL senator said, according to News. .ro

She continued: “Whenever you hear about a differential raise, you know from me that this person doesn’t really want to raise pensions because any differential raise is unconstitutional. It is discriminatory and unconstitutional.”

Alina Gorghiu also said that “we must be careful and increase small and very small pensions”.

“Our leaders of the party leadership said this, President Iohannis said this, I am also saying this today in front of you, but for this the PNL has a project in the parliament that all our colleagues in the parliament must vote for, namely the PNL solution is not to tax pensions, lower for 3,000 lei,” Gorgiu also stated.

The temporary president of the Senate noted that “if in parallel we increase the pension score to 15% and add this project of non-taxation of pensions to 3,000 lei, then you will also feel the fairness and respect of the Government and the Legislature.”

“This is the commitment that the PNL is making to the liberal elderly. You will see, January 1 is a battle we are fighting, but it is a battle from which we must come out victorious,” said Alina Gorghiu.

PSD President Marcel Čolaku spoke on Saturday in Vranca about the differentiated increase in pensions from next year, putting forward the idea of ​​allocating a 15% “envelope” to increase the pension budget at the same time as the differentiated increase in pensions. increasing pensioners’ incomes.

“We set a package together, namely 15% of the budget effort, which is 15 billion lei, and within this package we enter and increase in different ways, depending on the income. It seems very fair to me, because in moments of crisis, in special moments, we cannot remain captive to a ditch or a narrow circle and have the same approach,” Čolaku said at the election conference of the Vrancha district organization.
