"Our land" demands to stop blackmail with the so-called "pension reform" and implement the pension legislation - modernize pensions. This was stated by the co-chairman of "Our Territory" Sergey Kaltsev.

According to him, instead of implementing the current law, the government turned to direct blackmail and continues to push pension reform.

"Today, the government sets a condition: either pension reform is adopted, or no one will raise pensions. Now, the authorities are turning their obligations under the law into ultramatums, putting modernizing pensions in dependence on the adoption of pension reform, "Sergei Kaltsev said..

He noted that in their statements, officials are cunning about the fact that raising the retirement age will not be.

"The government says that raising the retirement age will not happen, but when implementing the reform, the minimum amount of insurance will be increased from 15 to 25 years. In human language, this means that the government has found a way to reduce the number of pensioners, not formally raising the retirement age. Now citizens who intend to retire with minimum insurance experience of 15 years will lose this opportunity and will be forced to work for 10 years more, "Sergey Kaltsev stressed..

The party draws attention that in any case it is impossible to accept pension reform in favor of the IMF.

Any changes in legislation in this area should be carried out only after extensive public discussion and approval by the public.

As is known, in the Memorandum on Economic and Financial Policies in the section on pension reform, the authorities recognize the need to reform the pension system.

Earlier, the Minister of Social Policy, Andrei Reva, reported that on May 16 the mission of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will visit Ukraine to agree on the pension reform.
