On 14 September, Vladimir Ryzhkov handed over to the Moscow Government more than 5,000 signatures of Muscovites in support of his initiative to increase the “Moscow budget increment” to pensions to 10,000 roubles.
For a month Vladimir Ryzhkov has been collecting signatures of Muscovites under an appeal to the Moscow Government and the Moscow City Duma to raise the size of the Moscow budget increment in pensions of Muscovites from an average of 7,000 to 10,000 roubles. More than 5,000 signatures have been collected.
According to Ryzhkov, such an increase in the pension is socially and economically justified. It will be possible to implement it as early as next year. For this, it is necessary that the initiative be taken into account in the Moscow budget for 2022, the discussion of which will begin in September in the Moscow City Duma, and be supported by the Moscow Government. The appeal, signed by thousands of Muscovites, is a big argument for the adoption of such a decision.
In this case, starting from 2022, more than two million Muscovites will receive additional monthly 3,000 roubles.
The collection of signatures for the increasing of the pension continues.
