In addition, they have announced that they are preparing a week of mobilizations in March that will culminate in a demonstration in Bilbao on Saturday, March 18.
The Euskal Herria Pensioners’ Movement has demanded that the Basque government “stop confusing people with misleading information” and supplement minimum pensions to 1,080 euros per month with 14 payments with “direct character“.
In a press release, it also asked the Basque government to demand that the Spanish government honor the commitment to equate the minimum pension to the minimum inter-professional wage of 1,080 euros.
In addition, it has announced that in March they are preparing a week of mobilizations that will culminate in a demonstration in Bilbao on Saturday, March 18 in defense of their claims.
This group confirms that the amount of EUR 1,013 stipulated in the new law regulating the RGI in the CAV as a guaranteed income for pensioners is “a far cry from the EUR 1,080” they claim, because the RGI in You pay 12 and not in 14 as “the vast 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, which estimates that this amount is not “insignificant” in the current situation of “exorbitant growth” . of prices.
On the other hand, he appreciates the Spanish government’s decision to set the SMI at EUR 1080, but argues that it is “far away” from the 1200 euros that this group has been demanding for more than five years and “far from 60% of the average state salary and well beyond that of Euskadi and Navarre”.
