España: Pensiones: un elefante blanco en el Consejo de Ministros

Submitted by dfabbri on

Cinco Días (22.10.2018) Las pensiones siempre han sido el gran problema financiero del futuro en España.

Se precisa una reforma integral del sistema de protección a la vejez para que el futuro, cuando llegue, sea el jardín de las delicias y no un conflicto continuo.
