United Left claims government has not paid its debt to pensioners

ZAGREB, Jan 9 (Hina) - Zlatko Klaric, leader of the United Left which gathers five political parties, said on Tuesday that the government's debt to pensioners had not been paid and that the government was exerting pressure on the Constitutional Court not to consider a constitutional complaint against the law regulating the payment of the debt to pensioners.
ZAGREB, Jan 9 (Hina) - Zlatko Klaric, leader of the United Left which gathers five political parties, said on Tuesday that the government's debt to pensioners had not been paid and that the government was exerting pressure on the Constitutional Court not to consider a constitutional complaint against the law regulating the payment of the debt to pensioners.

Speaking to the press outside the Constitutional Court building in downtown Zagreb, Klaric said that the Court had still not put on its agenda the constitutional complaint of the United Left that was supported by 10,000 citizens.

The United Left believes that the law regulating the payment of the debt is immoral and unconstitutional because it does not cover more than half a million pensioners.

The law has done injustice to 300,000 pensioners whose claims towards the government were calculated to be nonexistent, because the government claims that it had already paid its debt to those pensioners in the form of financial assistance which they had to receive due to low pensions, Klaric said.

The law has done injustice to another 170,000 pensioners who were left without the right to inherit the pension rights of their deceased spouses, and some 50,000 recipients of survivor's pensions.

Klaric added that the debt had been paid "to some extent, but exclusively to members of the (ruling) HDZ party".

The United Left consists of the Action of Social Democrats of Croatia (ASH), led by Klaric, the Socialist Workers' Party (SRP), the Croatian Workers Party (HRS), the Adriatic Social Democratic Party of Croatia - Adriatic Social Democrats (JSD), and the Party of the New Alternative (SNA) - the Green Movement.
