It will be up to parliamentarians to debate on the basis of the government’s proposal and the bill that will be presented tomorrow in the Council of Ministers. We have always indicated clearly that those who do not respect the rules will no longer be eligible for the solidarity fund “, said the Minister of the Economy.
