State Duma Speaker: protest shares will not help pension reform
Vyacheslav Volodin Protest rallies will not help resolving issues related to pension reform, said the State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin on the eve of the shares planned in Moscow on July 28 and 29. He emphasized that until September 24, proposals are accepted with amendments that will be studied and, possibly, will be accepted. The government bill, offering an increase in retirement age up to 65 years for men and up to 63 years for women, was the first reading in the State Duma on July 19.
