The unions took to the streets during this weekend to demonstrate against the 2020 Budget Act of the yellow-red government, and in particular against the measures taken by the same to plan for future pension increases starting in 2020.

The theme of revaluation of pensions it does not only worry the trade unions, but also the European Union of cooperatives.

This, in fact, taking up the data published by INPS has made it known that in Italy a pensioner out of four resists with less than 500 euros a month.
