Euskaraz irakurri: Pentsiodunek 1,080 eurora arteko igoera berehala egiteko eskatu dute
The Euskal Herria Pensioners Movement has demanded that the Basque Government “stop confusing people with misleading information” and complement the minimum pensions up to 1,080 euros per month with 14 payments with “immediate character“.
In a press release, it has also requested the Basque Executive to demand that the Spanish Government comply with the commitment to equate the minimum pension to the Minimum Interprofessional Wage of 1080 euros.
In addition, it has announced that they are preparing a week of mobilizations in March that will culminate in a demonstration in Bilbao on Saturday March 18 in defense of their claims.
This group affirms that the amount of 1,013 euros set in the new law that regulates the RGI in the CAV as guaranteed income for pensioners “is far from the 1,080 euros” that they claim, because the RGI is received in 12 you pay and not in 14 as “the overwhelming majority of Social Security pensions.”
The difference between paying 1,013 euros in 12 payments and 1,080 in 14 payments is almost 3,000 euros per year, says the Movement of Pensioners of the Basque Country, who estimates that this amount is not “insignificant” in the current situation of “exorbitant growth” of prices.
On the other hand, he values the decision of the Spanish Government to set the SMI at 1080 euros, but maintains that it is “far away” from the 1200 euro that this group has been demanding for more than five years and “far from 60% of the average state salary and much further still than that of Euskadi and Navarra”.
