Belgium: Flemish green party supports basic pension for all

The Flemish green party Groen! has recently suggested the implementation of a basic pension for all

in Belgium. According to green MP Wouter De Vriendt (5 August 2013), the amount of such a basic income for the old should be fixed at 1000EUR per month. On top of it, individuals could add a “work bonus” depending on their past work record.
