"The Basic Pension, which we found to be worth 90 euros/month at the beginning of the mandate, is being processed with an increase to 150 euros/month from today. So, a 60 euro increase within the mandate, or 67%. The government for pensioners," declared the acting minister, presenting this decision as one of the main achievements of the Kurti Government on the eve of the elections.
