PSD President Sorin Grindeanu stated, in a Facebook post, that social-democratic parliamentarians will submit amendments to the projects contained in package 2 measures to balance the budget. Grindeanu argues that coalition parties should only promote measures approved by all partner formations.
“After the Government sends the laws to the Parliament, the group of social-democratic parliamentarians will formulate amendments to correct other points. We do not agree with the fact that mothers and pensioners pay CASS, while multinationals earn over 1.2 billion lei by exempting the 1% tax on the turnover.
He argues that his party supports the elimination of privileges and self, but will not support measures that affect the vulnerable categories of the population, without a real economic justification.
“As I think for the unit of coalition, only those measures that are approved at the level of all partners must be promoted,” continued the leader of the Social Democrats.
The government has adopted package 2 of austerity measures. The project that provides the redundancies in the town halls was removed at the last moment from the agenda and will be redissed in the coalition / the executive members did not accept questions from journalists after briefing
On the other hand, Grindeanu welcomed the adoption of the package, especially the reforms proposed by the PSD ministers:
- The reform of the state and ASF, ANRE and ANCOM companies – the General Secretariat of the Government;
- The reform of the special pensions of the magistrates – Ministry of Labor;
- Health Reform – Ministry of Health (PSD).
“By eliminating CASS to war veterans and political prisoners, but also by taxing the earnings in cryptocurrency-two measures proposed by the PSD, we send a signal that the Social Democrats cannot support a cynical Romanian state that does not recognize the merits of those who have put their lives in the country, but the most of them will be the Romanian.
