The union of employees in the Government's work apparatus claims that Ilie Bolojan, when he was Secretary General of the Tariceanu Government, would have received almost 74,000 lei as allowances received as a member of the Inter -ministerial Committee for Financing, Guarantees and Insurance. The trade unionists accuse the current prime minister of double standard regarding the evaluation of the activity of the state employees.
The union of the employees from the Victoria Palace has released a declaration of wealth of Ilie Bolojan, related to the revenues from 2001.
Revenues of 74,000 lei in a single year
“Ilie-Gavril Bolojan received, in 2007, the amount of 73,935 lei as a member of the Inter-ministerial Committee for Financing, Guarantees and Insurance of Eximbank. At a monthly net salary of 1,042 lei in that year, this amount is equivalent to 71 monthly average salaries, that is, a considerable income, which is a considerable Communicated of the union.
The quoted source recalls that, in April 2007, Bolojan was transferred from the position of prefect of Bihor County to that of Secretary General of the Government.

“Against the background of the recently adopted and austerity measures that the Government will assume in Parliament, the prime minister, the head of the public function in Romania, has launched a virulent attack on the employees of the budget system, suggesting that the state can not pay people who do not produce anything. The authenticity of the reforms promoted under the pretext of eliminating the self ”, says in the press.
The employees of the government claim that the prime minister's public statements show “a discrepancy between reality and rhetoric” from Ilie Bolojan.
“At a time when political morality and public coherence are invoked as the foundations of the government, the prime minister's past must be assumed with the same transparency and rigor that he claims to others. In a democratic state, the integrity and honesty are not only measured by measures against others, but also by assuming their own past,” says the syndical.
Bolojan cut the allowances of the members of the Eximbank Committee
The government approved on June 27 a draft decision reducing the number of members of the Inter -ministerial Committee for Financing, Guarantees and Insurances within Eximbank, a state structure. At the same time, the allowances received by them were reduced. Among the members of this committee are PSD Deputy Prime Minister Marian Neacșu.
The normative act establishes the reduction of the number of members from 17 to 5. It also decreases the level of their monthly allowance from 20% to 5% of the monthly salary of the President of the EXIM Banca Banca. In addition, President Exim Banca Româneasa SA will not be remunerated for the activity carried out within the Inter -ministerial Committee for Financing, Guarantees and Insurance.
The adoption of the normative act was also announced by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, in the press conference on Friday, organized after the Government meeting.
“As for the decrease in expenses, we work on several components, we invent everything that means, commissions-I would call them sinecles-and in each government meeting and every week from now on, because they cannot be made from one day to another, as each one is on a government decision, on a law, we will attack this law.
He stated that he started with Eximbank the process of reducing the expenses in the state institutions.
“And today I started, practically, with such a structure, which belongs to the Government of Romania directly, a committee that consisted of 17 persons, who had an income for one, two, three monthly meetings, of 4,000 euros a month, I transformed it into a 5 person committee, whose income will be about 1,000 euros per month, because they have a certain loan.
Deputy Prime Minister Marian Neacșu received 257,916 lei (about 52,000 euros) last year from a committee of the EXIM Banca Românească State Bank, which meets only twice a month, according to the obligations assumed, according to EconomiDia.
