“Romania cannot afford to lose 230 million euros from the PNRR!

That is why, today, at the initiative of the informal leader of the coalition, Crin Antonescu, I submitted to the Parliament, together with Cătălin Predoiu, Kelemen Hunor and Varujan Pambuccian, a project to amend the Law of Special Pensions.

This project aims to correct the inequities between the pensioners, both from the perspective of contributivity and the retirement age – 65 for all, including for the “special”.

I am confident that President Crin Antonescu will promulgate this law, which responds to one of the greatest dissatisfaction in the Romanian society. Romania needs a mediator president, a man of dialogue, a president to build a bridge between the state and the citizens ”the prime minister wrote on his Facebook page.
