A person should not have to choose between food and medicine — Terekhov
This was stated by the leader of AMPG after submitting to the government a package of 130 legislative and budgetary initiatives.
“I believe that alongside funding the Defense Forces, one of the main priorities of state policy must be the fight against poverty. It must become one of the main criteria for all the state's economic and budgetary decisions,” emphasized Ihor Terekhov.
He proposes that beginning in 2027 the minimum wage be set at no less than 10 thousand hryvnias, and that the minimum pension be increased to 6 thousand hryvnias.
“A working person should not live from paycheck to paycheck, and a pensioner should not have to choose between food and medicine. Wages must be sufficient for a decent life, and a pension should be a recognition of a person's many years of work, not a payment that is inadequate even to meet basic needs,” said the head of AMPG.
