On Tuesday, the supervision of the National Insurance Institute (NOI) will make decision to modernize pensions by 11%.
This is what the deputy chairman of the parliamentary group (PG) of GERB Denitsa Sacheva wrote in her Facebook profile, quoted by BTA, regarding the request of “We continue the change– Democratic Bulgaria”, announced yesterday, for convening an extraordinary meeting of the National Assembly because of a draft report of the National Institute of Social Sciences, according to which pensions are increased not by 11, but by ten percent.
„And people will get their money down to a penny. And there is no way to steal money from pensioners, Sacheva pointed out and added that the budget of the National Institute of Social Sciences cannot be used to donate to the state budget.
Asen Vassilev is a political speculator. It has always been like that and unfortunately it costs all Bulgarians extremely dearly, Denitsa Sacheva also writes on the occasion of Asen Vassilev's words that NOI are trying to steal BGN 100 million from Bulgarian pensioners.
The law on the budget of the State Social Insurance (DOO) for 2024 is calculated with parameters for an increase in the average insurance income and an increase in the consumer price index, which in a ratio of 50 to 50, form 11% for the modernization of pensions, he explained she added that funds for this modernization are planned for the budget for 2024. According to her, the reporting data at this time, in order to apply the mandatory norm of Article 100 of the Social Security Code (SSC), are for a percentage of 10 years old%. “At the upcoming meeting of the Supervisory Board of NOI, which will be held on 14.05.2024, it is within the rights of the Minister of Labor to propose to the National Assembly (NA) an increase by 11%, as laid down in the Law on the Budget of LLC, which should be accepted", Sacheva added.
This happens absolutely every year. The administration of NOI proposes a text that exactly implements the law, and the political decision is taken by the supervision of NOI, and it is usually consistent with the framework given by the state social security budget, Denitsa Sacheva explained.
There is no need for any extraordinary sessions of the National Assembly for something that is within the powers of the NOI Oversight and will happen anyway, she stated.
BTA recalls that in Ruse today from "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria" announced that they are collecting signatures for convening an extraordinary session of the National Assembly.

According to him, eight leva will be taken from each pensioner every month until the end of the year, and this will continue in the next year as well.
