The monthly allowance for persons that participated in combat actions in Afghanistan, on the territory of other states and the participants in defense combat actions for the territorial integrity and independence of the Republic of Moldova will be increased.

The government approved the draft law submitted by a group of MPs which provides for the increase of allowances from 100 to 500 lei.

Considering the social commitments undertaken by the government, the allowance will increase gradually - up to 300 lei during the first increase stage.

64.3 million lei are planned for this purpose in the draft Law on the 2020 state budget.
