Parliamentarians who own homes in Bucharest will no longer receive rent money

Parliamentarians who own or co-own a home with their spouse in Bucharest or Ilfov County will no longer receive a lump sum from the Legislative budget to cover accommodation expenses in the Capital. The decision was made through a legislative project adopted in a joint session by deputies and senators.

According to the project, the lump sum for the duration of the mandate, based on a self-declaration, which represents a supporting document, will no longer benefit from: "The deputy and senator who has his/her domicile or who owns, he/she or his/her spouse, a real estate property intended for housing, their own property or their common property, in the municipality of Bucharest or in Ilfov County". Recently, new cases have been reported in which parliamentarians with their own homes in the capital simultaneously received money to rent another home.
