Campeanu said during the hearings that a reduction in social security contributions is not possible at the moment, because of the way the state budget was projected by the former government.
“Reducing social security contributions is a measure that will be included in the future governing program. The reduction will be made along with increasing the minimum salary,” said Campeanu.
Parliament committees are hearing minister nominees Monday morning and the Parliament is expected to hold a plenary meeting later in the day for a confidence vote on the new Cabinet. The committees’ endorsement of proposed ministers is consultative.
