The president of PNL, Nicolae Ciuca, says that the issue of increasing pensions should not be turned into a political game, explaining that the sources of funding for its application must be identified at Government level.

The former prime minister estimates that next year, 25 billion lei will be needed for the two tranches of pension increases, and in 2025, the amount will rise to 33 billion.

He also showed that these amounts must be collected in the budget, emphasizing, in the context, the importance of measures to combat tax evasion.

This would exceed 30 billion lei only in terms of VAT collection, Nicolae Ciuca also said.
