Journalists asked Cîțu, at a conference at the Victoria Palace, why there will be a 20 percent increase, when it should have been 40 this year.
“It just came to our notice then. And PSD promised doubles, triples. For the moment, regarding the budget construction that we take into account in 2021, increasing the endowments by 20% is what I think is sustainable. As a senator, I tell you that is why I voted. The government has not made any decision on the allocations. I left it to the discretion of Parliament, “he said.
I wanted to specify that in Parliament this increase change was made only by 20%.
“If it happens until the moment we have the budget, it can be taken into account, but if not, we will stick to the current legislation that has these increases,” said Cîțu.
Another statement on the subject: “In this ordinance we do nothing about allowances. It was an ordinance adopted by the previous Government. It was a law that rejected the Ordinance in Parliament. The President referred this law to Parliament for its consideration. I understand, today the Senate will vote on the Law that approves amendments to the respective amendment with an increase in per diems in 2021 by 20%. I don’t know if this form passed in the Senate or not. They called me and I voted this form, but no I know what the final vote was. “
The ordinance adopted in the summer by the Orban Government provides for the increase in allowances twice in 2021: in January and July.
It is, in effect, an increase of 20 percentage points applied to the amount resulting from the difference between the amount of the duplication (300 or 600 lei, as the case may be) and the amount previously granted in July 2020). That’s increases of 29 lei each.
Order on Increasing State Appropriations for Children, Reexamined, Amended, and Adopted by the Senate
The Senate adopted, on Wednesday, in plenary, with amendments, GEO 123/2020 aimed at the progressive increase of state appropriations for children, as a result of the re-examination requested by President Klaus Iohannis. There were 75 votes “in favor” and 56 “against,” writes Agerpres.
The legal and labor commissions of the Senate granted, this Wednesday, an admission report to the request for reexamination of President Klaus Iohannis for the reexamination of the Law that rejects the GEO 123/2020 and proposed to the plenary a law for the admission of the Ordinance .
The ordinance stipulates in paragraph 3, art. 3: “As of August 1, 2020, the amount of the state allocation will be increased by 20 percentage points, applied to the amount resulting from the difference between the amount provided in paragraph (1) and the amount previously granted, in July 2020 “.
The Plenary adopted this Wednesday the modifications made to GEO 123/2020 by the senators of the two commissions, so that paragraphs (4) and (5) of article 3 of GEO 123/2020 establish that “by 2021, the increase provided for in paragraph 3 will apply as of January 2022. As of January 2022, the amount of the State’s child allowance will be indexed annually, ex officio, at the annual average rate of inflation. “
In the form of the Government, paragraphs 4) and 5) of Article 3 stipulate that “between January 1, 2021 and July 1, 2022, the increase provided for in paragraph 3 shall apply twice a year, starting respectively for the rights related to the month of January and the rights related to July of each year. Starting with the rights related to January 2023, the amount of the state allowance for children is indexed annually, ex officio, with the annual inflation rate average ”.
On August 19, the Honorable Chamber of Deputies rejected, as a decision-making body, Ordinance 123/2020, which modifies and completes article 3 of Law 61/1993 on state subsidy for children. Later, the Government challenged this normative act in the CCR, but the Court rejected the referral.
On November 13, President Klaus Iohannis asked Parliament to reconsider the law rejecting the ordinance. In the request for re-examination, the president points out that, through this ordinance, the Government established a gradual application of the increase in allowances imposed by Parliament by Law 14/2020 approving GEO 9/2019, identifying the necessary resources to grant a increase as of August 1, 2020. of 20% of the expected increase, an amount that can be covered by the financial effort of the state in the current context.
The request for reexamination of the ordinance will be debated and voted on by the Chamber of Deputies, as a decision-making body.
