The General Secretary of Social Insurance Giorgos Romanias has accused the country’s creditors of insisting upon the further reduction of pensions, in a Friday-morning interview for Mega Channel. “They have the Hardouvelis email by their side and they are absorbed by it”, he explained.
Mr. Romanias stressed that the creditors “are obsessed about the zero deficit clause” and have demanded that two laws from 2010 – which modify how main pensions are calculated and which provide new cuts – remain as is.
He further explained that if the government were to change the two laws in question, it will be burdened about 2 million euros. The creditors, according to the general secretary, responded that the matter was “structural and not budgetary”.
