The pay rise for the local elect will have no major impact upon the national finances, on Tuesday told a press conference in northeastern Iasi, the Deputy Prime Minister Sevil Shhaideh, Minister of Regional Development, Public Administration and European Funds.
When asked by the media whether the Romanian economy could support the amendment lodged to the Government on a 30 percent pay rise of the presidents of County Councils and mayors, she answered that she didn't believe the said increase would have a major impact upon the national finances.
"So, we are talking about the wages of the local elect and of an amendment to the Ordinance 2/2017, where the local authorities' pay were risen by 20 percent and the ones in culture by 50 percent. Should the amendment is a amendment proposed at the Parliament level, then we'll calculate the impact, yet we consider if I'm allowed to, there are 41 County Councils' heads and 3,200 mayors, we don't believe the cost will have a major impact upon the national finances," specified Sevil Shhaideh, on a visit Tuesday to Iasi City for a meeting with the county's mayors.
