Romanian Opp Liberals To Submit No-Conf Motion Over Public Sector Wage Law

„If the law is passed with a confidence vote, we’ll submit a no-confidence motion. If it goes through regular parliamentary procedure, we’ll submit amendments,” Nicolaescu said during a meeting with union leaders.

He added the Government wants to pass the law quickly and not give back a 25% pay cut to state employees.

Romania’s Prime Minister Emil Boc said Tuesday the Government might seek a confidence vote in Parliament to pass the public sector wage law, but a final decision would be made within the ruling coalition.

The prime minister added the bill, which must be adopted for the country to continue to receive money from a EUR20 billion IMF-led loan, is among the Government’s priorities and is nearly finalized.
