Simple motion against Labour Minister, rejected by Chamber of Deputies

The Chamber of Deputies plenary sitting rejected on Wednesday by 157 votes against to 96 votes in favour and 16 abstentions the simple motion "Lia Olguta Vasilescu - minister of lie and social injustice," initiated by the Liberals.

The motion against the Labour Minister was debated on in the plenary sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Monday.

In the motion, the Liberals maintained the Labour Minister must be dismissed following "the incompetence she proved."

"Mrs Lia Olguta Vasilescu must be dismissed taking into account to gross incompetence she proved in exerting the minister mandate, as Romania is a single case in the world where an employee, instead of being paid for the work done, owes the employer," the Liberals said.

The National Liberal Party (PNL) shows that over 2 million Romanians have lower salaries, although they were promised this thing would not happen.

Labour Minister Lia Olguta Vasilescu said at the debates in the Chamber of Deputies plenary sitting that "there is no statistics revealing that the salaries of two million Romanians have decreased."
