Parliament employees had protest posters complaining about low salaries. ProTV news showed what the lowest salaries of Parliament employees are, in fact – outraged by the partial cuts in increments decided by the Bolojan Government – presenting for comparison, some average net salaries at the level of economic sectors.
On one of the salary flyers presented to the public by the protesters in the Parliament, belonging to a “cleaning agent”, a gross salary of 7,039 lei and a net salary of 3,822 lei appear. From the flyer it appears that 200 lei were withheld in the account of a CAR and another 44 lei for the “telephone”. However, the net salary exceeds the amount of 4,000 lei.
