The golden parties and can have entered the parliamentary strike today as a sign of protest against the decision of the RCC to reject the candidacy of Călin Georgescu.
What is the parliamentary strike in which the golden parties entered and can
The parliamentary strike is a form of protest used by the political parties in the opposition, by which the parliamentarians refuse to participate in the works of the Parliament, that is, in the meetings of the plenary and/or the committees. This is a remote protest action: the gold members and they will not participate in the meetings of the commissions, plenary or permanent offices, will only activate in the territory and retain their mandate and the right to vote, to activate in situations of maximum importance. In other words, the two extremist parties will no longer represent their voters in Parliament.
“We will not stop until the democracy and the right of the Romanians in free elections will not be restored. Romania must be of the Romanians, not those who believe themselves over this people! The fight continues”, Said the gold representatives, in a statement.
Diana Soșoaca: “Leave the nonsense and go to work!”
The president of SOS Romania, Diana Şoşoaca, said that the parliamentary strike “there is only for the powerful and cowards who come to Parliament to do nothing“And he urged the gold parliamentarians and can come to work.
“I want to announce that the parliamentary strike exists only for the rottenists and cowards who come to Parliament to do nothing. A parliamentary strike under these conditions, in which the opposition has about 35%, makes all the organic laws of power pass. If they were in the committees and in the Parliament, then it would not pass. Their lack of commissions means they want to have reports with positive opinions everywhere. (…) I ask Mr. George Simion to wake up, by the way, not in consciousness, to wake up and have the awareness that he is in Parliament to work for Romania, to leave the nonsense, the wave leaves, the wave passes’ and to start what the Romanians sent to Parliament. So, Mr. Simion, Mrs. Gavrilă, leave the nonsense and go to work. Because the Romanians did not vote for you to be rotten as well as those who were before you, on a lot of money“said Diana Şoşoaca, at the Parliament Palace.
Gold receives almost two and a half million euros per month from the AEP
Diana Şoșoaca continued saying that gold has significant amounts of public money. “You have a lot of money, you have parliament groups. The gold group has almost two and a half million euros per month from the Permanent Electoral Authority, public money. Mrs. Gavrilă also has about 300 and some thousand euros a month. People pay taxes and taxes to be represented in Parliament and work. With the parliamentary strike you do nothing. The strike is for the trade unionists, for the people of work who do something when they make those strikes, not for the parliamentarians, to say all the Romanian people -‘look and those potters’ -that they are right in the end. Everyone at work ”, he said.
What salaries do parliamentarians have
In 2024, the salary of a parliamentarian was 18,720 gross lei, ie about 11,000 net lei. That would mean around 2,000 euros per month. In addition, in 2023 the senators and deputies increased their lump sums, ie the money received from the Parliament for the monthly expenses with the parliamentary cabinets-rent, accommodation, meal or office arrangement, a telephony settlement. Currently, this amount amounts to 35,500 lei and only half must be justified.
Diurna, for example, is offered to all those who do not have their domicile in Bucharest or Ilfov, and its value is 2% per day in the allowance. Deputies and senators benefit, during the mandate, for free internal transport on the railway with any category of passenger trains. They are also settled for gasoline expenses for transport to Territoiu and have the right to a free plane ticket per week, on the internal airlines.
How much a Romanian parliamentarian works
A parliamentarian works, on average, 3 days a week in Parliament, and the rest of the activity carries out in the territory. The work schedule in the Parliament starts on Monday, from 2:00 pm, until Wednesday at 18:00 and includes the activity in commissions and in plenary. Sometimes, sessions of parliamentary committees are scheduled on Thursdays, and then the work week is extended.
As for holidays, parliamentarians benefit from time for relaxation and rest twice a year: in the hot season and in the cold season. In the summer, the last day of parliamentary session is at the end of June. Exceptions are the extraordinary sessions of the Parliament that can extend the program of deputies and senators. The months of July and August are months of holiday.
The winter vacation begins for parliamentarians from mid -December to February. The Easter holiday follows. During this holiday, parliamentarians are usually free for two weeks.
