This is another invented political scandal on the topic of "Pensions". Every year at the same time, the NSI administration proposes the exact percentage by which pensions should be updated. It is usually the same one voted in the National Assembly. This was stated by former social minister Denitsa Sacheva in Pernik, novini.bg reported.
„Asen Vassilev decides that he must make a fictional political scandal. How are BGN 100 million stolen from pensioners? Do you go pensioner after pensioner and take money? In the last 30 years, nothing like this has happened”, she wonders.
„He once again chose to lie. I want to recall that it was Asen Vassilev who was against poor pensioners receiving an Easter supplement. And today he turns out to be the most concerned about them“, wonders the former social minister.
„Politics should solve people's real problems. The average wage in Pernik is different from the average wage in the country, Sacheva pointed out and added that politicians should fight precisely against inequalities.
Denitsa Sacheva revealed that during the negotiations, Asen Vasilev told her that he wanted to increase the salary so that the employers would begin to release the workers and replace them with machines. “At no point did these people think about the people. We constantly took care of people and solved people's problems, she added.
