More than a thousand kilometers of highways and roads, increases in salaries, pensions and allowances, joining the euro, thousands of dispensaries in towns and 13 new hospitals in the big cities.
Also, hot meals in schools and major reforms in justice and finances.
These are some of the provisions of the government program of the Government of Cîțu, which became law when the composition of the cabinet was approved.
The government program has 269 pages, in which the PNL, USR, PLUS and UDMR coalition packed the three proposed programs before the elections.
For health, the promise is that they will gradually allocate up to 6% of GDP by 2024. – To have a term of size, 1% of GDP means 11 billion lei. 3 regional hospitals will be built: Cluj, Craiova and Iaşi, plus another 10 in the cities and more than 1,450 medical centers in the villages. Officials also promise a new law, but also a private health insurance system, modeled on the Second Pillar of pensions.
The same promise of 6% of GDP is for Education, but starting in 2024. Teachers’ salaries would be made according to performance criteria. For young children, kindergarten will be compulsory from the age of 3, gradually. For the rest of the students, two promises appear: hot meals and school after school with a program from 8 to 17 in all of Romania. The baccalaureate will be differentiated, the document also stipulates.
We move on to Infrastructures, where all available European funds and the co-financing of the budget of 2% of annual GDP for motorways and roads should be directed. Thus, we would reach more than 1,000 km of new construction in 2027. The continuation of the metro from Drumul Taberei to Pia toa Iancului appears. Metropolitan trains would be reintroduced for connections between cities and satellite areas.
In the Finance chapter, the reform of the Tax Agency aims to join the Eurozone in 2024. To stimulate recycling, the Government plans to reduce VAT on selectively collected waste. State aid to companies will be maintained, in parallel with a white list of good payers who will also receive facilities. Law enforcement will become an investigative move, meaning your state will no longer automatically take your money, but a check will come.
In Justice, the top of the list is the Reform of the Constitution and the implementation of the initiative “No criminals in public office.” But this point is also interesting, the reform of the Constitutional Court – let’s see if the idea will be constitutional 🙂 – also here is the abolition of the Prosecutor’s Instruction Section, and the elimination of the early retirement scheme for magistrates. The intensification of the fight against corruption reappears in the foreground, after 5 years of absence from government programs.
And finally, regarding the measures of the Ministry of Labor, the plan promises that those professional retraining programs that the Unemployment Agencies now carry out will be carried out by employers, with money from the State. The increase in pensions and subsidies will be done as already established, in annual installments, and the minimum wage will also increase as much as the economy allows. The special pensions of mayors will be postponed for one year. The contribution to the second pillar of pensions will increase by a quarter of a percentage point per year for the next 4 years.
Prospective parents should know that the Government plans to make parental leave more flexible, that is, to be able to take it for a longer period, according to the Swedish model. It remains for two years, but it can be taken, fragmented, up to 3 years, for example.
