The calculation and distribution of the pension increase must also be fair, wrote Lajos Korózs, the socialist chairman of the Parliamentary Welfare Committee, on his community page.
Opposition politicians say we must catch up on low pensions and reduce the growing disparities in the retiree society from year to year. Therefore, the MSZP requests a pension increase calculated according to the mixed indexation and its distribution in the same amount for a temporary period.
Today, there are almost 600,000 pensioners living in Hungary whose monthly pensions do not reach 100,000 florins. Today, it is three times more than ten years ago, and almost two-thirds of pensioners do not even receive the average pension of 142,000 HUF, wrote Kajos Korózs.
Socialists find it unfair that average pensions fall further and further below average net wages, while in stores people have to pay the same price to old and young, pensioners and workers.
According to Lajos Korózs, Fidesz still wants to raise pensions to the expected inflation rate of three percent next year, while prices of fruits rose by 45 percent, those of eggs, sugar by 10-15 percent and those of meat by more than 20 percent in a year. , just like a retiree has to spend much more on medicine.
The MSZP wants to ensure that no pension is below the subsistence minimum, catches up with low pensions, and that a fair calculation of the pension increase takes into account not only inflation but also wage growth through so-called mixed indexing, one of which is Swiss indexing.
With a fair distribution of the pension increase, the Socialists want all retirees to receive the same amount of money for the pension increase calculated on the basis of the Swiss index for a transition period, which should start with the “pension of the 53rd week “expiring in February, added the politician. .
