Marius Budai, the Minister of Labor from the PSD, made 2 very important announcements, which all Romanians in our country must know about, and this is because he brings to the attention of all people, first of all, the situation of teachers, the solution of which is being discussed intensively in the governing coalition, to find the best solutions as quickly as possible.
Marius Budai explains below what the plan is for the pension reform to be carried out, and this is because it requires the involvement of a large number of people with political power, and ministries, so that everything is carried out in a manner that it can be transparent, and fair, for all Romanians in the country.
"I don't know the last discussions they will have with the Prime Minister, possibly with the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Mr. Marcel Ciolacu, but I hope that things will end as soon as possible. And here I am talking thinking about the more than 300.000 employees in the education system, but also about the 3 million children.
I will not discuss, out of respect for the teaching staff, the offers, those are our internal discussions within the social dialogue commissions that we had yesterday, and during the past week, and last weekend. I only hope that a way will be found to solve the problem in the shortest possible time.
The plan is to work applied, to shorten the calendar, but to shorten it not just for the sake of shortening it, not to be a shortening only in time, without content. That is, to have a new law that will cause problems. We must discuss as much as is necessary with all social partners. I said very clearly that, when I get to implement the pension reform or the wage law reform, I will not do what was done when the PNRR was written.
I mean, I'm not going to make a reform or reforms secretly. I will debate with the unions and everyone concerned, as long as it takes, and we will make sure we have a good law. The trade unionists were firm, but they were open, and the last discussion I had with them was constructive and based on mutual respect.
"Today the amendments will be submitted to the Parliament, now they are arranging, the specialists from the Ministry of Labor with the specialists from the labor committee in the Chamber of Deputies, I think they will finish them in half an hour. We also went to the Parliament to discuss with the technical committee, on legislative technique. I think in the next few hours you will see them submitted."
