Social Democratic Party (PSD) Chairman Marcel Ciolacu said on Tuesday that, through the vote given in Parliament, PSD "did justice" for 5 million pensioners, because pensions must be increased by 40%.
The plenary session of Parliament passed on Tuesday the budget revision for 2020 with the PSD amendment regarding the increase by 40% in the pension point. There were 242 votes in favor, 147 against and 11 abstentions.
The parliamentarians decided, at the proposal of PSD, to repeal the article according to which the pension point is increased by 14%, thus remaining in force the law of the public pension system which provides for a 40% increase.
