During a press conference, Lia Olguța Vasilescu discussed the timeline for implementing the new salary law, mentioning that it will be staggered until 2031. The mayor of Craiova highlighted the anomalies in public administration, pointing out that many officials earn more than the minister's salary, which raises questions regarding salary equity.
