Political dispute in parliament over the second pension pillar
Published
A political dispute is taking place in the parliament of Bulgaria over the second pension pillar. Prime Minister Radev stated that he is fighting a great battle in Brussels to protect the social rights of Bulgarians, social benefits and pensions.
The second pension pillar is part of the pension system in the country. Working people contribute part of their social security contributions to universal or professional pension funds. These funds are managed by private pension insurance companies. The money is used when a person retires.
Radev explained that, in his view, protecting social rights is very important for Bulgarian citizens. He pointed out that the issue has a European dimension, which is why it is also being discussed at the level of the European Union in Brussels. The topic is causing debates among deputies in parliament.
While the dispute continues, there is still no final decision on the matter. Readers can follow the news to learn more about the development of the discussion and the positions of the various political forces.
