The government procrastination

While Manuel Valls had promised the end of April, especially to calm the anger of the Socialists “slingers”, the government announced Friday that it did not intend to upgrade the pensions below 1,200 euros (6.5 million individuals) that were due on 1 October because of too low inflation.

Slingers, who had made a casus belli when considering amending budget of Social Security, are immediately on the frontlines.

On the radio, he assured Sunday that “even if the government knows that today he must measure public spending, particularly in the context of the pension system, there will be a boost to be given to small pensions . “
