"Thank you. My great-grandmother is 69 years old and I have lived a long time with her. This is why I know from experience that the best way for us to care for the elderly is by ensuring that they can look after themselves as far as possible. However, even those who are in good mental and physical shape for their age face a strenuous task. The Attack party raised this issue during the previous parliamentary term and will also do so in the future.
The average pension in Bulgaria is a mere EUR 100. That is EUR 100 a month, fellow Members. Pensioners have to use this money to buy their medication, pay their bills and, usually last of all, provide their food. The reason for this state of affairs is the huge act of robbery committed against my country by the last three governments in succession. This robbery goes by the name of ‘mass privatisation’. I must also mention that it was carried out under the approving eye of the European institutions and the International Monetary Fund. Assets worth billions of euro were stolen from Bulgaria, which does not make it strange that my country has the lowest pensions in the European Union. This tragic situation must serve as an example to you when you are wondering how we are to care for the elderly."@en1
