Gov't approves final version of state budget draft for 2021

The Government on Monday evening approved the final version of the state budget law for 2021, with the approval of the Legislative Council. Head of the Chamber of Deputies and PNL (National Liberal Party) leader Ludovic Orban stated that, after the final adoption, with the approval of the Legislative Council, the state budget draft will most likely be sent to the Parliament on Tuesday. "The opinion of the Legislative Council only came today and, procedurally, even if there was no modification brought the state budget draft after the approval of the Legislative Council, the budget must be adopted only after the approval is granted by the Legislative Council. Most likely, the state budget law and the state social insurance law will be sent to the Parliament tomorrow," Orban told the Parliament on Monday. At the same meeting, the Executive approved, by a decision, the modification of the Methodological Norms for the application of Law No. 200/2006 on the establishment and use of the Guarantee Fund for the payment of salary claims, approved by GD No 1,850/2006, which allows the payment of outstanding salaries to the miners from CH Hunedoara who protested for several days by blocking themselves underground in the Lupeni and Lonea mines.
