Romania Cannot Raise Public Sector Wages

Romanian Finance Minister Sebastian Vladescu didn’t have any comments regarding the decision of public administration employees to cease work for two hours Tuesday morning disgruntled by wage cuts and planned layoffs. As for the ones who want bigger wages, the minister said that the Government cannot raise salaries this year.  "My message for those who protest over furlough is that the issue will be solved Friday. On the other hand, I want to tell those who want bigger salaries there are no means for that. We cannot raise salaries," Vladescu said Tuesday.
