Child allowances will be doubled, but in stages, and the lawmakers who vote for populist laws should donate more revenue to the budget to have more money to double the allowances, Finance Minister Florin Citu told Digi 24 private broadcaster on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the Chamber of Deputies rejected, as a decision-making body, Ordinance 123/2020, amending and supplementing Article 3 in Law 61/1993, in order to gradually increase the amount of the child allowances.
As many as 166 MPs voted for rejecting the ordinance, 63 against and 29 abstained.
