Pensioners in Romania oppose the introduction of a 10% health contribution on pensions over 4,000 lei, calling it an abusive tax.

The National Federation of Pensioners in Romania (FNPR) challenges the intention of the Government led by Ilie Bolojan to impose a 10% health contribution on pensions exceeding 4,000 lei and a similar tax on those above 3,000 lei. The FNPR considers this measure unacceptable, affecting pensioners who have contributed significantly to the public pension system and emphasizing that a similar measure has been declared unconstitutional. The Federation calls for the withdrawal of this proposal from the government program.
