The chairman of Save Romania Union (USR), deputy Catalin Drula, said that prime minister Marcel Ciolacu "gave the go-ahead to no longer comply with the provisions of the law on fiscal-budgetary responsibility regarding public salaries", after the Government adopted Ordinance 32 on August 24.
"The increases in state expenditures continue. Marcel Ciolacu gave an ordinance that in 2023 the law of fiscal-budgetary responsibility regarding public salaries will no longer be respected. In 2010, during the previous financial crisis, under the pressure of the IMF, Romania adopted a key-law to public money: Fiscal-Budgetary Responsibility Law No. 69/2010. This law consista of rules and obligations regarding the spending of public money that should have ensured that Romania will never again end up with the country's budget in the hole, or "payment failure", as Marcel Bolos, the minister of Finance, said yesterday. Among other things, there are strict provisions regarding the inclusion within the limits of personnel expenses (salaries) - article 18. For 2023, by Ordinance 32 dated August 24, Ciolacu gave permission not to let these provisions be respected," Drula wrote on his Facebook page, agerpres reports.
According to the USR leader, the reduction in expenses is "just talk". "Actually, they are increasing, just as Marcel Ciolacu wants to increase the taxes as well", said Drula.
