Sursa foto: Inquam Photos/ Octav Ganea The Save Romania Union - Party of Liberty, Unity and Solidarity Alliance (USRPLUS) co-president Dacian Ciolos on Sunday rejected the hypothesis that the 2021 budget would be an austerity one, noting that pensions and salaries will increase based on previous decisions, and investments will go up as well. "It has already been decided to increase the pensions, which will apply from 2021, so the pension in 2021 will be higher than the pension in 2020. The basic salary will increase as well. (...) We have bigger investments than projected last year. And then, how can we talk about an austerity budget," Ciolos said on Prima TV.
