The claimed salary figure of 800 euros appears to be outdated, possibly reflecting data from 2022-2023 when the average net salary was around 4,000 lei (approximately 800 euros). Romania has experienced significant wage growth in recent years.
The claim does not specify whether the figures refer to gross or net amounts, which is important context.
INSE data from Q4 2025 and June 2025 shows higher actual figures than claimed, though the exact pension value in euros was not accessible in the search results.
The speaker (Maria Grapini from S&D) appears to be using older or selective data to emphasize the economic challenges in Romania, which is consistent with the expected narrative from her political position.
