Well may there be slashes to thousands of ordinary Greek workers’ pensions, the Ministry of Finance is not willing to budge in the remuniration of public sector deputies following the decision of the Court of Auditors that offers as much as 100,000 euros in retroactive payments in some cases.

Greek newspaper, Eleftheros Typos, reports that deputies pensions need to be readjusted upwards retroactively from 2008 so as to be aligned with pay increases given by Law 3691/08 to judges because deputies’ pensions are  calculated in accordance with these.

Even though the government had appealed against the decisions issued by the court’s plenary, the active court opened the window to give retroactive increases through the three-member committee of the court whose decisions are enforceable immediately without the possibility of an appeal.
