As every Monday, pensioners in Bilbao and the surrounding areas have gone out in the streets to demand decent pensions. The protest, which has lasted for 19 months, has been extended for 85 consecutive Mondays. Despite the fact that the political situation has been different, protests have continued every week. This Monday he met with the Aste Nagusia of Bilbao, which has led to a great influx of people, as other platforms have joined the protest in favor of decent pensions of Hego Euskal Herria, as well as of Asturias, Cantabria and La Rioja. On the other hand, 19 of the 28 comparsas in Bilbao have joined the mobilization.

The formation of the Spanish Government greatly affects the increase in pensions. In the negotiations pensions are not taking an important place, but if the parties fail to reach an agreement on 23 September, the government will become an interim government until the end of the year. There will therefore be no budgets for 2020, and pensions will only rise by 0.25%, which was agreed in the Mariano Rajoy Government.

The spokesman for the Bizkaia pensioners' movement, Jon Fano, stressed that the blockade that exists for the formation of the central government is detrimental to pensioners: "You can solve the problem with political will, but you don't want it to be solved like that," he added. That’s why we’re on the street.”

Pensioners maintain the request for pensions of EUR 1,080, although the minimum they demand is a rise in CPI pensions, according to the CPI. Despite constituting the Government of Spain, a major mobilization is planned for 30 September.
