The elderly will learn by the end of the week, if their pensions are going to be raised. This and other claims are contained in a notification for the government submitted several weeks ago by the Salvgardare NGOs. On Tuesday, after a failed attempt of pensioners to siege the Government's headquarters, the head of the Government's Apparatus, Mihai Pop, promised to give them an official answer in several days. “We have nothing to discuss with Mihai Pop. He knew nothing about the notification we submitted,” Salvgardare president Maia Laguta has told Info-Prim Neo. According to her, the elderly will be waiting for the promised answer, and then will decide what to do, depending on the answer they get. Maia Laguta says the notification for the Government provides for raising salaries and pensions, for liquidating discriminatory attitudes as to some retired. According to her, they want all the elderly to get the same pensions, regardless of the year they retired. The last wish of the ones from Salvgardare is to be offered an hour on the national TV to organize a dialog between elderly and authorities to discuss the existent problems. Tuesday morning, some 150 elderly “armed” with loud-speakers complained they were forgotten by authorities, in front of the Government's building, as their pension of 600 lei is hardly enough to buy bread. The protesters headed for the central doors of the Government's building. 10 policemen failed to resist the pressure, and the retired managed to break the live fence, chanting “Down with the Government!” They wanted to penetrate the building. There they were met by more police and persons in civil clothes who pushed them, as some elderly were noticed to fall on the stairs, bleeding and calling for help.
