Limiting Benefits for Former State Officials

March 26, 2026

The parliament approved proposals to limit the benefits enjoyed by former Presidents of the Republic and the House. Benefits will now be provided for five years for official vehicles and for life for secretarial services, under specific conditions. These changes will apply only to individuals elected to these positions after the law comes into force. The amendments proposed call for the new regulations to include current officeholders as well. Transparency in the decision-making process was an important aspect.
