The package is conceived as a medium-term support, not as a temporary support, extended into one, two or three months that means we've taken into account the fact that this crisis is of an unpredictable nature when it has its end, and our commitment is to give our people medium-term support, sustainable and to intervene in a variety of directions.

Taking into account the effects of inflation have also been indexed this year, but for the first time, they will be re-indensed. It will be re-edified at the inflation rate amounting to 6%, starting from previous indexing and to 9.5% as this year's overall index. This will happen to those with limited abilities that we have annual indexing. We make interference with 7.5% indexing for all disabled persons. We will increase by 10% economic assistance and double the economic assistance for family women with 2 children. All women who are in unemployment conditions will receive double economic assistance”
