About 50 pensioners are holding a 24-hour lock-up at the Coronation Church in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

About 50 pensionersare locked up this Wednesdayfor 24 hours in the church of the Coronation in Vitoria-Gasteiz, on Thursday in the Alavesa capital and on the eve of demonstrations in Pamplona.
The demonstration called by the Euskal Herria Pensioners' Movement will begin at 11:00 in Vitoria-Gasteiz, will depart from Bilbao Square, pass before Parliament and end in the vicinity of the New Cathedral.In the Navarre capital there is also a mobilisation called: the rally will take place at 11:30 a.m. in front of Parliament and will record a letter addressed to all parliamentary groups.
The reasons are similar: to declare a supplement to minimum pensions (contributory and non-contributory), equating them with the Minimum Inter-professional Wage (SMI), and to recognize and apply them individually.
Although the situation in the Basque Country and Navarre is different, because the PNV and the PSE rejected the popular legislative initiative in the ACV and in the 2026 budgets, which will be adopted on the 23rd, there will be no economic headings to supplement the minimum pensions.
In Navarre, however, the agreement between the Government and EH Bildu will make it possible to supplement minimum pensions of up to €1,100 in 14 payments.
