Here's how they voted on poverty issues at the plenary session in Strasbourg in February!
We have the poorest pensioners in the EU!
The government's measures boils down to the announcement of raising the retirement age to 65. While retail chains are being gifted 1.2 billion euros through reduced VAT, families and pensioners are choking in inflation. The government does not want universal child allowance, and today as many as 60,000 fewer children receive child allowance than in 2016. The poverty rate has not gone down in the last 10 years.
Cherry on top - The HDZ voted last week in the European Parliament to dilute the proposal aimed at combating poverty across the EU!
