BSP proposes Easter bonuses for pensioners
BSP has proposed various Easter bonuses for pensioners before the second reading of the bill amending the State Social Security Budget.
The socialist formula suggests that the 534,000 people below the poverty line of 526 levs receive 100 levs instead of 75 levs, with other pensioners receiving 50 levs each. The initiative would require a budget of 130 million levs.
The bill, supported by GERB and MRF, instead offers a one-time payment of 75 levs to pensioners and supplement recipients below the poverty line. It will cost the state 40 million levs.
