I-E B. wrote that the PSD government's program omitted, compared to that proposed by USR, PNL, and UDMR, the reforms that, in his opinion, disturbed the system. Among the absent measures, he listed a 13% reduction in the number of parliamentarians, according to the 2021 census, limiting the number of secretaries of state from each ministry to a maximum of three, and banning the accumulation of pensions with salaries in the public sector, about which he said the bill had already passed the Senate. He also mentioned the reform of special pensions and changes in justice: the election of the CSM by all judges and prosecutors, limiting delegations that he considered to be made "with dedication," selecting the Judicial Inspection through a real competition, and measures to prevent the expiration of criminal cases. His list also included civil control over the secret services, banning undercover officers in the press, political parties, and cults, as well as the proposal that half of the state's savings be returned to people through lower labor taxes. I-E B. asked why the reforms that reduce privileges were absent from a program that spoke about an efficient and responsible state. He argued that maintaining an oversized parliament, special pensions, and a justice system in which cases expired would represent the management of the status quo, not reform. #Guvernare #Reforme #PSD (translated)
