The Hungarian Trade Union Confederation calls for an immediate increase in the pension supplement to 4.3 percent, but a one-time minimum benefit of 10,000 HUF per person, after the latest CSO forecast also confirmed the concerns of the retiree section of the union in March: inflation will reach 4 percent, he writes. the defense body. The Retirement Parliament made a similar proposal.
Tens of thousands of young retirees are miserable, as they are also the biggest losers in the drastic rise in food prices during the epidemic, and the process is likely to repeat itself as long as their livelihoods, their pensions, have not increased by one. penny. The government cannot leave the most vulnerable people alone, the retiree section of the MASZSZ describes the problem, calling for a rapid and spectacular increase in government pensions as early as March, when the government reported the first higher inflation figures.
László Juhász, president of the department, sees now that it was not too early to sound the alarms, because the livelihood of small retirees must remain close to the average salary of active workers, regardless of inflation, but inflation higher than planned. warrants immediate correction. In the first eight months of the year, the price increase with the retirement basket was 4.3 percent, of which food prices rose almost 8 percent, so you had to pay much more to live .
This year’s budget was even planned for 2.8 percent inflation last spring, which even seemed unsustainable based on data from late last year, but since then, the crisis caused by the coronavirus epidemic has pushed prices even higher. to the consumer. Pensions are constantly losing their purchasing power, which is why they introduced the institution of pension adjustment: in November, they pay the difference between estimated and real inflation in a lump sum and then in the monthly benefit. According to calculations published on Thursday, this year a pension of 60,000 HUF will cost 7,200 HUF more money, while an average pension of 127,000 HUF will receive 15,240 HUF and a one-time adjustment of 17,052 HUF for average pensions of 142,100 HUF.
“It is true that the situation will not improve if only the government does not realize it and does not serve the most disadvantaged,” said the retired section of MASZSZ, which calls on the government to provide immediate pensions to those who have been in active work in the last decades. They have made a significant contribution to economic growth, but they can no longer do so in old age. “They did what they had to do, now the government is next,” László Juhász said.

“We have been saddened that the 2.8 percent rise in the consumer price index forecast at the beginning of the year has been completely refuted by retirees. Retirees have been forced to bear the consequences of poor government planning and they have been forced to lend around HUF 50 billion to the government. ” in your communication.
