The socialist union, FGTB, strongly condemns the supposed use of budgetary control by liberal parties to cut social benefits for the most vulnerable members of society. They urge all concerned parties to reject this measure, which is set to take effect in 2024. FGTB plans to issue a more comprehensive response once the budgetary texts are made public. The content also includes a Digiteka video embed with a “more videos” button and an in-read advertisement with an ID of “gr-ads-inread”.
The FGTB says it does not accept this “attack” against social benefits. “The liberal parties are instrumentalizing budgetary control to reduce the social benefits of the weakest in society”, castigates the socialist union, which asks all the parties concerned to adapt this measure which would take effect in 2024.
The FGTB adds that it will react “in a more complete way” as soon as the budgetary texts are made public.
In conclusion, the proposed measure to limit social benefits for those with low incomes has been met with strong criticism from the FGTB. They argue that this is an attack against the weakest in society and that the liberal parties are using budgetary control as an excuse to reduce social benefits. As the budgetary texts are yet to be made public, the FGTB has promised to react in a more complete way. It remains to be seen how this debate will develop and whether all parties concerned will adapt to this proposed measure.
