The bill providing for the suspension of credit repayment will be supported by the vote of the parliamentary groups of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), Pro Europa, the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR), People's Movement Party (PMP), while the National Liberal Party (PNL) group will vote "against", it emerged from the Chamber of Deputies plenary debates on this bill, on Friday.
PNL deputy Bogdan Hutuca said all the parliamentarians "should be aware that this economic crisis can only be solved by a fair allocation of financial resources from the state and from banks".
"This bill ensures the rates payment for both those affected by the crisis caused by coronavirus, but also for the categories of people who are not in this situation. This bill allows the deferral of the enforcement measures for both the companies affected by the crisis and for the companies that were in into foreclosure before the onset of the crisis. I think we should all be aware that the deferral of the rates payment for the over 250 billion lei worth of loans is based on the depositors' money, on the saving amounting to over 350 billion lei made by the population. It is obvious that, regardless of the deferrals granted, banks must pay the costs to depositors daily, must lend to individuals and must provide credit for economic operators' working capital and investments. (...) The PNL group does not endorse this bill," said Hutuca.
The bill is to be voted on Friday by the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies, through a special procedure
