The protests of pensioners are continuing today in the squares, as every Monday

  • Another Monday and the protests of the pensioners of Hego Euskal Herria have sounded in the streets and squares of some cities, as in many other cities in the Spanish State.

EITB wanted to comfort its Basque grandparents and grandmothers that the retirees and retirees of the Basque Autonomous Community (CAV) paid an average of 1,193.2 euros in November, 233.2 euros more than the average pension of 959.91 euros.

Mobilizations have been seen both in the capitals of Hego Euskal Herria and in different localities:
