The Minister of State Alekos Flampouraris announced that the upcoming bill on the critical pension system reform will secure main pensions and that a battle is being fought so that the cuts in supplementary pensions are as low as possible.

In an interview on SKAI, Mr. Flampouraris explained that the government is trying to ensure that the cuts in supplementary pensions are under the 15% to 20% mark. Mr. Flampouraris was also confident that the government’s 153 MPs will support the bill in Parliament.

Furthermore, the State Minister noted that the government’s pension reform proposal will be discussed with the institutions on the 8th of January and opined that the solution to the problem is in increasing revenue rather than further cuts.
