‘Ponta presents redundancy plan for next 5 years’

As part of the public sector reform package presented by the Victor Ponta government, 14,000 civil servants (including 4,000 postal workers and 2,500 energy company employees) will be laid off between now and 2018.
The redundancy plan is one of the measures demanded by the International Monetary Fund in exchange for financial aid, points out România Liberă, which adds that this will “herald the end of the government’s honeymoon with the Romanian people.”
