In September many socio-trade union agents, together with the Pensioners Movement of Navarra Now € 1080 Now they presented a popular initiative to require the institutions of Navarre to supplement pensions below € 1080, providing for a provision for this in the budget law of 2024. The initiative says that only with a minimum pension of EUR 1080 would it ensure decent ageing.
The accession campaign and the collection of signatures have been launched in recent weeks. Today they have explained that 20 social union players and more than 5000 signatures have since joined in favour of popular dynamics.
As the budget debate will be delayed until February-March, they confirm that they have decided to continue the popular initiative and that they will therefore continue the accession campaign and the collection of signatures until the popular initiative continues. They also anticipate that motions will be tabled in many municipalities in the coming weeks to extend the claim for a minimum pension of EUR 1080 to the people.
They also welcome last week’s parliamentary hearing. “The different groups showed their interest,” and following the request of these groups, they say they will be sent a report delving into the content presented by the appearance.
