Stratoulis, one of SYRIZA's hard-liners, stressed that the specific regulation is not included in the draft laws that Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced on Friday. He announced that the new bill will be tabled in parliament in the new week, because, as he pointed out, it refers to an expense that is to take place in December 2015. According to him, there were other issues that should be promoted, such as the measures for the humanitarian crisis.
Asked by both reporters if the new law is going to be voted on within the next four months, Stratoulis noted that it did not matter whether or not it would be voted in the next four to six months because it is a benefit that is expected to be offered in December.
He said that he ruled out the possibility of cutbacks on supplementary pensions and at the same time announced that 'the retirement age limits will not be increased'.
Turning to financial issues, Stratoulis appeared totally reassuring and stated that "there is no reason for concern, because SYRIZA has "proposals and solutions" (and pointed to the regulations that Tsipras announced which are set to be tabled in parliament).
