Tomorrow on January 20, the YABLOKO party jointly with the
Elder Generation movement (the former Pensioners’ Party) will
conduct picketing by the Ministry of Defence building protesting
against discrimination of pensioners.
Military pensioners protest against the present system of
calculation of pensions basing on the fixed wage only and
neglecting all the wage increments and bonuses the military
normally get. This system leaves military pensioners with
tiny pensions despite their aggregate earnings during their
service.
YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin, General Major in reserve
and leader of the Moscow Region YABLOKO branch Anton Gorodetsky
and head of the Elder Generation movement Alexei Borschenko
will participate in the action.
The picket will begin at 12:00.
Address: Gogolevsky Boulevard (by the Gogol monument).
