Heavy downpours are expected in the center, in the mountains and some regions in the country\u2019s east and south. Thunder and hailstorms have been forecast in isolated regions whereas the heatwave will remain in southern and western Romania, whose residents are again facing with a higher thermal discomfort index and more muggy days. The highs of the day will be ranging between 27 and 35 degrees with a noon reading in Bucharest of 34.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PENSIONS <\/strong>As of October 1<sup>st<\/sup> the taxation ceiling of pensions in Romania is going to grow from 400 Euros at present to 600 Euros, Labour Minister Simona Bucura-Oprescu announced on Monday night. She said the decision was made after a new round of talks she had with Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu. So, on October 1<sup>st<\/sup>, taxes will account for 10% of the difference exceeding 3 thousand RON. The minister\u2019s statement comes after the head of the government announced that he had called on the Finance Minister to conduct research and see whether a new taxation ceiling was needed after the implementation of the new legislation. The Finance Ministry is expected to conduct another research so that pensioners may not incur loses or have the food vouchers removed. We recall that pensions under 2 thousand lei are presently exempted from taxation but a 10% tax is levied on pensions exceeding this sum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>INDEPENDENCE<\/strong> President Maia Sandu on Tuesday conveyed a message congratulating the citizens of the Republic of Moldova on the occasion of marking 33 years since the proclamation of the country\u2019s independence. \u201dMoldova is our home and we choose a future of peace and prosperity. We are writing our history. Many Happy Returns, Moldova!\u201d Sandu says quoted by Moldpres. In Bucharest, Romanian president Klaus Iohannis says that Romania will continue to offer strategic support to Moldova in all areas. \u2018I congratulate the citizens of the Republic of Moldova on Independence Day! You are part of the great European family and the continuation of the present efforts will transform the EU accession into an accomplished objective, the Romanian head of state wrote on the X platform. Other high officials in Bucharest have conveyed congratulation messages on this occasion. On August 27 1991, tens of thousands took to the streets of Chisinau and called on Parliament to endorse the country\u2019s independence, which it eventually did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TENNIS <\/strong>Romanian tennis player Gabriela Ruse has qualified for the second round of the US Open, the year\u2019s last Grand Slam tournament after a two-setter against Julia Grabher of Austria. Ruse will be up next against Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic, this edition\u2019s winner of the Wimbledon tournament. The other Romanian representatives in the singles contest, Ana Bogdan and Jaqueline Cristian have been knocked out in the first round after losing to Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands and 12th-seeded Daria Kasatkina of Russia, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>(bill)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEATHER Romanian meteorologists on Tuesday issued a code yellow alert for unstable weather valid until Wednesday morning for half of the Romanian territory.
