The proposals, supported by opposition parties AUR, SOS, and UDMR, contradict recent government fiscal policies and are opposed by the ruling National Liberal Party (PNL), citing concerns over fiscal stability and budget deficit reduction. PSD Senator Marius Humelnicu defended the exemptions as necessary protections for vulnerable populations. PNL Senator Daniel Fenechiu emphasized the party\u2019s commitment to coalition agreements prioritizing fiscal discipline, explaining that PNL will not support the bills to maintain budgetary stability. The proposals now proceed further in the legislative process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – BLOCK 2 – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
