I fully support this motion for a resolution. I hope that further action will follow the European Parliament’s declaration. It is essential to react sharply and effectively to any and every instance of discrimination against the elderly. It is essential to draw up a directive legally binding on national governments which will provide for legal action against acts intended to reduce pensions and non-compliance with other obligations incumbent on the state with regard to the elderly. In 2009, in my country, Latvia, in order to ‘plug a hole’ in the budget, the government reduced pensions, thereby destroying people’s hopes for social stability and fairness. I voted for this resolution in the hope that similar infringements and the malicious exercise of power will not happen again."@en1
