A meeting between representatives of pensioners’ unions and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was “extremely constructive”, said the Minister of Labor, Social Security and Social Solidarity Effie Achtsioglou on Saturday, who was also present at the meeting, according to ANA.
The pensioner’s demand to have debts towards social security funds spread across 120 payment installments was met, claimed Achtsioglou, as was their demand to have widower’s pensions raised from the current 50% of the deceased’s wage to 70%, she added.
The Social Security Minister added that all such debts on record until the end of 2018 will be settled immediately as agreed, the lowest installment being 50 euros.
