“We have a lot to do for our own development, to increase the quality of life for Romanians,” Traian Basescu told DCNews. “It is time to invest money in improving the quality of life. Raising the salary or doubling the pension is stupid. This advantage is crushed in a few months by inflation, and the quality of life remains the same ”, said the former president.
Investments that “die” after 6-8 months
The PMP leader warned that the money should not be taken in measures of “doubling social benefits, doubling pensions, doubling the benefits of raising children, these are investments that end in 6-8 months, or the development of the country has effects “. long-term”.
Now, the programs of the main parties have appeared in the electoral campaign. At the forefront we find the increase in pensions, which is related to a consistent budgetary impact.
Based on the electoral promises, PNL announces a 26.7% increase in the pension point until 2024, while PSD speaks, for the same period, of an increase of 62%.
PNL says it will increase the pension point for 2024 by 46%, but has taken into account the figure before the last increase, in September. That is, in 2024 the pension point will reach 1,840 lei (according to the data in your table). That is, compared to the current figure, the pension point will increase by 26.7%, in fact. In 2021, the pension point will reach 1,559 under the leadership of PNL, that is, it will increase by 8.11%.
PSD boasts a 32% increase in the pension point, but refers to a figure that is not current: 1,775 lei. Probably waiting for CCR’s decision. In 2024, PSD wants the pension point to reach 2,340 lei, that is, 62% higher than the current one (1,442 lei).
We also find obvious promises regarding the doubling of social benefits, child-rearing allowances, but that the way the Romanian economy “doubles” can only be seen as simple, beautifully colored schemes of the electoral campaign.
