Hatzidakis: The record in issuing pensions exposes the lies of Mr. Tsipras

by

Answer of the Minister of Labor to the president of SYRIZA regarding his statements at the TIF

The Minister of Labor responds to the claims of Alexis Tsipras from the TIF on the issue of pending pensions through his Facebook account Kostis Hatzidakis.

More detail:

Mr. Tsipras told the TIF that the outstanding pensions have tripled! However, 97% of the pending main pensions from 2016 onwards have been issued. This is evidenced by the August pension data published today. So how on earth did backlogs triple? The answer is simple! It is the mathematics of SYRIZA!

See now more specifically:

– The years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 have been zeroed out. For 2020, 97% have been issued. For 2021, 91% (with the exception, of course, of those who owe more than the limit or have legal complications).
– 85% of the applications submitted until May 2022 have already been issued a pension. This means that these pensions are issued, in some cases, even in 60 days!
– Overdue pensions were canceled by 5 EFKA Funds (TAP PPC, TSP OTE, TSP ATE, TSP ETE, TAPILT-AT) and 10 addresses of the Agency throughout Greece (Kefallini, Aitoloakarnania, Samos, Lefkada, B’ Korinthia, 1st Etoloakarnania, 2nd Evros, Florina, Rethymno, Lasithi, 1st Central Athens – Ilioupoli)
– The overdue main pensions amounted to 31,000. Of these, approximately 15,000 concern State pensions. And a special plan for the immediate issuance of these pensions is underway, in collaboration with the General Secretariat of Public Administration Information Systems of the Ministry of Digital Governance, for their immediate, automated issuance. While approximately 20,000 overdue main pensions are judged to be inflexible or potentially objectionable.
– 188,000 pensions were issued from January to August 2022. That is 25,000 more than those issued in the whole of 2020. And 65,000 more than in 2019!
– Overdue debts to pending pensioners were reduced by 94%. From 693 million euros in May 2020, this amount has decreased to 40 million euros at the end of August.

Despite the toxic opposition of SYRIZA, no one can doubt that the issue of pending pensions is headed towards its final solution in the near future. After all, the pensioners who received their pension are the first to recognize it! We proceed, with the same determination, in the final attack for the issuance of the remaining main pensions as well. And we give SYRIZA – who handed us a big mountain of pending pensions – the pettiness and the endless lies.
