What it means for you
If the bill passes, an MP's base salary would reach almost 46,000 lei a month. The rise would come with the removal or revision of some bonuses, so total income would not automatically double. The bill is part of a new public sector pay law, which the Government will approve after the European Commission gives its opinion.
What happened
Prime Minister Vasile Tofan supports the pay rise for MPs, while admitting it may anger citizens who struggle financially. According to the Ministry of Finance, base salaries would rise from about 20,800 lei to almost 46,000 lei a month. Tofan says decent pay attracts capable people and reduces the risk of corruption.
