Snakes on Monday. Apparently no party dares touch the generous pensions of some government categories

The French-speaking socialists of the PS may not be very skilled at multiplying – wealth that is – but they can add up without a doubt. In the tough pension debate, the PS is well aware of the low level of activity that has plagued Wallonia for decades. The average number of years that a resident has been working there contrasts with the number of active working years of the average Fleming. That saves a drink on the drink if you have to have worked for 20 years for a pension of 1,500 euros. The higher the bar is set for the number of years worked, the less pension money will go to Wallonia.
