Authorities Intends to Increase the Salaries of the President, the Prime Minister and Civil Servants

Finance Minister Andrian Gavrilita has announced that the authorities are drafting a new law on the remuneration system, which provides for pay rises in the public sector, though not across the board. According to the minister, the pay adjustments are necessary and should not be viewed in political terms, reports realitatea.md. “One cannot expect a modern country to pretend that politicians do not need salaries,” the minister stated, emphasizing that the issue must be resolved regardless of who is in power. The new law provides for a review of the entire pay scale, and the increase will be differentiated. Some salaries will rise more, others less, depending on the disparities that have accumulated over the years. “The point is that no one should lose out, but some will gain more, depending on how great the gap with reality has been in recent years,” the minister explained.
