The pensions will be indexed by 5,3%, which is as twice as many as it was required. The announced was made by Vlad Plahotniuc within a briefing.

"We want to offer the retired a new reason for happiness, the same as we promised before the elections, when the pensions were indexed by 10%. By April 1, the pensions will be indexed by 5,3%, twice as it was required, because there will be taken onto consideration the inflation average over the past three years, not only the one of the last year.

Some opposition parties lied saying that the pensions will not be indexed at all. This is only a weakness of their.

In fact, in the first months of this year, we raise pensions for a large retirement category by 15.3%: 10% rose at the beginning of the year and 5.3% in April. No Government has ever made such increases for retirees ", said Vlad Plahotniuc.

At the same time, the leader of DPM said that pensioners, people with special needs and other beneficiaries of social allowances with incomes up to 2000 lei will receive an allowance worth 600 lei for Easter.

"We have decided to offer this money by assuming the responsibility of the Government, because there is the risk that, due to the parties that refuse dialogue, the political blockage in which we are after the elections is a rest period and consequently the pensioners could have no longer receive this Easter sum, but by the decision made today, we make sure that in the second part of April the money will reach the people, it may, moreover, already come with other good decisions for the benefit of the citizens, if the leaders of some parties would not continue to block the formation of a parliamentary majority and the investment of the new government", said Vlad Plahotniuc.
