Unions representing pensioners
on Tuesday blasted a measure in the government's 2015 budget law
to change the day on which State pensions are paid from the 1st
to the 10th of each month.
"It's a full-blown attack on the elderly," the leaders of
the SPI CGIL, FNP CISL and UILP UIL unions said in a joint
statement.
"The government has not planned any type of help or
support for them, but instead has thought of a way to further
complicate their lives.
"It's simply unacceptable. We ask ourselves what the
pensioners and elderly have done to be treated like this".
Consumer associations Federconsumatori and Adusbef also
condemned the move.
"It's an unjust, unacceptable move, an abuse against
pensioners who are among the groups worst hit by the economic
crisis," the associations said.
