Tomorrow we will start with the important points on the economic and social side and, after that, we will move on," Citu said at the Parliament Palace.He said he supports any increase in revenues if the economy allows it.According to Citu, taxes will not be raised in the next period, adding that the progressive taxation supported by the PSD was not addressed.At the same time, there was no discussion about the measures proposed by the PSD regarding the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR)."Maybe, they will be discussed in the future. We'll see what can be done. The problem is that as regards the PNRR nothing can be changed for a very long period of time. There we can talk, but nothing can be done," the PNL chair said.
