The Romanian state in the form of a salary, in the form of allowance, in the form of a special pension, to receive amounts reported in proportion to the work submitted or to the activity submitted ”, explained the Deputy Prime Minister. “Here, of course, there is a need for a very clear delimitation of work and benefits in the form of pensions and that is why we propose that these amounts do not cumulate.”Tanczos Barna told Digi24.

It is a substantial reform that will apply immediately.” said Tanczos Barna.
