Dozens express concerns about welfare reform outside Chamber of Deputies
Dozens of individuals have voiced concerns about the impact of welfare reform before the Chamber of Deputies, where the committee will address the issue today.
Protest organizers argue that the reform will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable. The majority of participants in the protest were social workers. The Ministry of Labor proposes replacing four different social benefits with a single "super-benefit" starting in July. The Social Committee had already recommended to the Chamber of Deputies in early February that the reform be approved with modifications.
