Main opposition criticises government for retroactive pension cuts

Pointing to a circular issued by the Deputy Minister for Social Insurance, Anastasios Petropoulos, the party said it reveals the government’s plan to increase the retirement age to 67 and grant a reduced pension.

“Everything Mr. [Alexis] Tsipras and his partner Mr. [Panos] Kammenos said before the elections are crumbling,” ND said, adding that it constitutes a “political fraud” which is revealed day by day and whose consequences will be paid by the Greek people.
