As reported EADailythe government of the Federal Republic of Germany intends to review the practice of paying benefits to those people who do not want to work, the former Ukrainian Prime Minister writes on social networks Mykola Azarov. It is noted that this measure also applies to citizens of Ukraine, many of whom prefer to live on benefits and not work.
At the first stage, according to Azarov, reductions in social support will be introduced for up to two months. In this case, for people who are on social security, the state will only cover living expenses and utilities.
