The Socialist Party in parliament has proposed to entirely change the 2012 Labour Code, which ‘leaves employees unprotected’. In addition, it was proposed to allow men, similarly to women, to retire after 40 years of service and to place services for people living with disabilities on new foundations. The head of Parliament’s welfare committee, said a constitutional amendment was necessary to stipulate that citizens shall have the right to social security and are entitled to appropriate support for their livelihood in case of old age, sickness, disability, widowhood, losing parents or becoming unemployed through no fault of their own.
