The judges of the Constitutional Court are postponing the ruling on the draft law aimed at repealing special pensions, "pushing" the referral for May 6, in the context of the state of emergency, because "the PNL [National Liberal Party] Government prefers not to give an OUG for the elimination of these categories of pensions and is showing no signs that it is considering our proposal to tax 90% of the special pensions in payment that exceed a certain level," Save Romania Union (USR) said on Monday.
USR mentions that during this period the beneficiaries "continue to receive pensions worth thousands of euros". At the same time, the USR criticizes the Government for not taking measures in this regard.
Save Romania Union recalls that, immediately after entering Parliament, its MPs spoke about the need to eliminate special pensions and that in 2017 they submitted bills in this regard: one strictly for the special pensions of the parliamentarians, the second for the abolition of seven categories of special pensions and capping the pensions of magistrates and the military.
