  • Interpellasjonar Og Spørsmål Til Fylkestinget, 29.September 2020
    Interpellasjonar og spørsmål til fylkestinget, 29.september 2020 Mottekne interpellasjonar 1. Kurt Johnny Heggernæs (PP); Vestland fylke erklærer fattigdomskrise for minstepensjonistene. I Norge i dag er det ca. 140.000 minstepensjonister som daglig lever under fattigdomsgrensen. Disse har en pensjon på vel 200.000,- kroner i året. Fattigdomsgrensen i er beregnet til vel 235.000,- kroner. Med andre ord et gap på vel 35.000,- kroner. Dette medfører at pengene ikke strekker til. Det mangler ca. 2.500,- til 3.000,- kroner hver måned for å dekke de mest livsnødvendige behov i hverdagen så som medisiner, helsebehandling, tannlege behandling m.m. og det bare for å leve et noenlunde anstendig anstendig liv. Dette er en stor utfordring for minstepensjonistene og medfører store sosiale utfordringer. Minstepensjonister står hver måned over for følgende dilemma: Hva må velges bort denne måneden? Som regel må det kuttes i bruk av penger til klær og sko, personlig hygiene som til et besøk hos tannlege, en fotpleier eller frisør. Transport, kultur og samfunnsdeltakelse kan en bare glemme. For ikke å snakke om gebursdags- eller julegaver til barnebarna. Men verst er det når man ikke har nok penger til mat og medisiner. Når man må kutte i livsnødvendigheter som mat og medisiner, helsebehandling, ja da er fortvilelsen og maktløsheten passert lang over det som mange klarer å bære. Dette er uverdig og en nedverdig behandling av våre eldre. Slik skal vi ikke ha det i vårt land. Norge blir beskrevet som et rikt land. Men rikt for hvem? I hvert fall ikke for minstepensjonistene i landet. Når vel 140.000 av våre innbyggere lever under fattigdomsgrensen kan vi ikke kalle oss et rikt land.
