Opposition parties need to participate in dialogue on pension reforms

Government spokeswoman Olga Gerovassili on Thursday in statements to real.gr stressed the importance of the opposition’s participation in a constructive and of national importance dialogue to decide upon the social security reforms.

Gerovassili underlined that the participation of the opposition parties in such a dialogue would strengthen Greece’s negotiating position.

“The government is ready to listen to their positions. It’s time to express their views,” the government spokeswoman said adding that if they reject the government’s position, they need to propose an alternative solution for the sustainability of the system and the end of injustices.

She concluded that the Greek government has submitted a comprehensive framework of social security reforms to the social partners, the political parties and the EU institutions.
