Kastsevich came up big with another statement.

Today, the Minister of Labor, Iryna Kastsevich, reported in the "parliament" on the execution of the Social Security Fund budget last year. "Deputies" asked about the increase in retirement age, tut.by writes.

Iryna Kastsevich said that the subvention for balancing the Fund's budget amounted to 520 million rubles last year. However, the minister noted that some organizations receive benefits, so the Fund finds missing a larger amount.

– The benefits to business entities amounted to 640 million rubles last year, this is the compensation of the lost revenue side – the High Technology Park, the Great Stone, the agricultural organizations.

"Deputies" asked the minister a question that is very relevant against the backdrop of news from Russia – further raising the retirement age.

– Looking at the hall, – Iryna Kastsevich smiled and turned to the "deputies": – Men of 60 years old – this is not the age.

There was heard, albeit rare, a round of applause in the hall.

"We have lived only a year and a half with the pension reform, – the minister explained. – Russia has talked about this for 10 years – and only now has approached it. Let's see how the pension reform will influence the balancing of the Fund in 2022.

The authorities’ statements and actions in the social sphere have often been criticized. That's how former Minister of Labor of Belarus Aliaksandr Sasnou commented on the dictator's high-sounding phrases about raising the retirement age:

"In order to make effective decisions – you must keep feedback with people, understand what is happening in the country. And our power is away from reality. It will just suffice to mention Lukashenka’s statement that "in 60 years, a man is a horse on which you can still plow." I do not know such people, maybe, there are such "horses" in Drazdy.
