Four unions in Parliament are asking Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan to abandon the austerity measures, considering them ineffective and harmful to employees.

Employee dissatisfaction within the structures of the Romanian Parliament has increased, with four unions asking Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan to stop the austerity measures that affect the modest salaries of employees. The union representatives argue that the new fiscal decisions do not bring real benefits to the state budget and that the fiscal adjustment measures, such as the increase in VAT and staff cuts, have led to a decrease in the purchasing power of the population. They emphasize that the savings achieved are insignificant compared to the major impact on employees.

Parliament employees, who face salaries below the budgetary average, are among the most affected. The unions are calling for alternative measures for budget stability, such as combating tax evasion and supporting SMEs. Their message to the government is clear: coherent economic policies must be adopted, not temporary accounting measures.
