Hundreds of trade unionists from the Ministry of Finance and the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF), affiliated with the Federation of Trade Unions in the Fiscal Administration "Solidarity", protested in front of the ministry on Thursday against the austerity measures.
The protesters use vuvuzelas and display banners that read: "Tax capital and large properties, not workers!"
The National Trade Union Bloc (BNS) recently decided on a calendar of protests to be organized by the trade unions and federations affiliated with the BNS, as well as the initiation of a video campaign on all social media channels to explain to the public the economic effects on employees in the public and private sectors as a result of the adoption of the austerity measures package.
Thus, every Thursday, a protest will be organized in front of public institutions where the BNS has union members, and the first one will take place in front of the Ministry of Finance.
At the same time, all BNS workers from the budgetary sector are invited to participate in the same time slot.
The decision to organize these protests was made on Tuesday, July 8, after the meeting of the National Bureau of the BNS.
On July 6, 2025, the NBS sent to all parliamentary political parties a series of modifications to the draft Law on Fiscal-Budgetary Measures, which aim to provide concrete measures to reduce budgetary waste and strengthen fiscal responsibility.
On Monday, the Government pledged responsibility in Parliament for the first package of fiscal measures, which provides for tax increases (VAT, excise duties, dividend tax), spending cuts and financial discipline measures, with the aim of reducing the budget deficit and stabilizing public finances.
