The government's aim is not to reduce pensions, Labour Min Katrougalos says
The government aims to implement uniform rules for all pensioners through a new way of calculating pensions, Labour Minister George Katrougalos said in an interview with CNN Greece.
Asked if pensions over 1,000 euros will be reduced, Katrougalos said that the government's aim is not to reduce pensions, but to create a viable social security system.
"Our aim is not to reduce pensions. This is what the previous government did. We had ten pension cuts in the memorandum period. Our aim is to render the system sustainable, but without putting pressure on the state or smaller pensions," he underlined.
