Eugen Tomac says Romania's salary law unfit for parliament, threatens €770 million EU loss

Designated Prime Minister Eugen Tomac told Antena 3 that the current draft of Romania's salary‑reallocation law cannot be submitted to Parliament because it would disadvantage key beneficiary groups. He warned that failure to adopt the law in its present form could cost the country more than €770 million in European Union funding. Tomac urged an open, honest dialogue this summer to amend the bill, emphasizing that the legislation is meant to redistribute salaries equitably rather than raise them. He called for a political compromise, possibly mediated by the President, to ensure that no income is reduced and that the EU money is preserved.
