Speaker to sign law on social allowances
Head of Parliament Mihai Ghimpu will sign an organic law to amend the state budget law for 2010, the state social insurance budget law for 2010, and the law on social allowances paid during the cold period of 2010, Info-Prim Neo reports, quoting a communique from the Parliament.
The Government assumed responsibility before Parliament for these amendments on September 27 . Under the bill, 521,000 persons with pensions of under 900 lei, 30,000 deprived families and 60,000 budget-funded employees with salaries lower than 700 lei will receive 130 lei a month in assistance during October-December.
Three leaders of the governing alliance expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that the bill was approved by the Government, not yet by Parliament, saying the Premier wants thus to attribute all the merits for the alliance's social projects to himself.
