PM Tsipras: It is our social responsibility to safeguard the sustainability of the social security system

It is our social responsibility to safeguard the sustainability of the social security system and we owe it to the next generations, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Thursday said in a meeting with the representatives of the labour unions.

Tsipras is meeting with labour unions representatives within the framework of the debate on social security reforms.

“Both the government and the representatives of the trade unions have the responsibility to make the right choices that will ensure the sustainability of the pension system and I think that this is something we owe it to the next generations,” the prime minister underlined.

He also noted that critical decisions are looming that will pave the way for the debate on debt reduction and the exit from the crisis.
