Pro Romania MPs will not vote on a new proposal for the offshore law, party leader Victor Ponta said on Monday.
In another thread, speaking about the new pension law, Ponta said lawmakers of his formation are backing the adoption of a regulation to increase pensions, but which should come into force next year, not in 2021.
"If the necessary money is in place, as the Minister of Finance and the Labor Minister assure us, then we will put forth an amendment to the pension law so that all the raises come into effect on January 1, 2019. If money is short, there is no point in adopting the pension law and lie to the people that it will come into force in 2021. If the money isn't there in 2019, it won't be in 2020 either. My duty is to tell the people the truth," Victor Ponta added.
The offshore bill that cleared Parliament at the end of the previous session was sent back to Parliament for review by President Klaus Iohannis.
