János Lázár and Péter Szijjártó responded to remarks by an MP of the opposition Socialist Party (MSzP), who said Fidesz plans to scrap early retirement pensions were a “full attack” on the subsistence of hundreds of thousands of people.
Lázár and István Balsai, another Fidesz MP, submitted a bill to parliament on Friday that would eliminate pensions paid to people under the official retirement age. The pensions would be replaced by a social subsidy for people who qualify, but those who don’t will have to return to work in order to make a living.
