"Golden pensions", leaders demonstrate against the cuts

The associations of public and private managers and high professionals protest against the Government's intention to cut higher pensions, but especially against the tones used in recent months.

"We have been suffering unjust attacks for months in a pathetic attempt to make us appear privileged in the eyes of public opinion," said Giorgio Ambrogioni, president of CIDA, the Confederation of private and public managers.

They don't want to be called privileged, nor treated as if they've stolen something from someone. Precisely for this reason, Cida, Confedir, Assdiplar, magistrates and state lawyers, diplomats, soldiers, doctors have decided to organize a meeting entitled: "There is no fairness without merit - The attack on pensions humiliates professionalism and responsibility, it undermines legal certainty, it reduces confidence in the future”. The event is held in Milan at the Teatro Nuovo (Piazza San Babila, 3; 10.30 am).

"We have turned to the Prime Minister and the main representatives of the Government parties, to be heard - continues Ambrogioni - to explain the reasons for our dissent to this outrageous media campaign and demonstrate, with data in hand, that theOur pensions are the result of contributions paid and always commensurate with a professional commitment built on merit and competence. But our attempts ended up against the rubber wall of a self-referential policy with little cultural sensitivity".

We remind you that according to the latest rumors the Government should present an amendment in the Senate containing progressive cuts to pensions exceeding 90 euros. There are 5 rates, with reductions from 10 to 40 per cent based on the pension bracket.
