Professors may be exempted from a law that prohibits the accumulation of pension with salary, as discussed by the Minister of Education with the Prime Minister. The lawyer Toni Neacşu clarifies that the recently leaked draft government ordinance does not entirely ban the accumulation of pension and salary for state employees, but rather prevents individuals from holding the same position after retiring. Meanwhile, pensioners who have rejoined the state administration, such as those in the Presidential Administration or Government, can continue to accumulate their pension with their salary. The Minister of Education aligns with trade unions on the issue of pension and salary accumulation, while Daniel David, a prominent figure, disagrees with the proposed ban, stating that the education sector has contributed significantly during the crisis and it's time to stop the measure.
