France's Recruits In Algeria Liberation War To Receive Millions Of Euros Annually

Some 879,413 former French soldiers are still receiving pensions for their duties in the Algerian war at the end of December 2016, which is equivalent to 85% of France’s pensions of French war veterans that are estimated at 1.5 million pensions, while France’s Recruits in the War of Liberation reach about 7 billion and 900 million euros a year, which is more than 107.000 billion centimes in national currency.

These figures are contained in a document that is a view of the French Senate’s Social Affairs Committee on the veterans’ section of the French Finance Act of 2018, which was registered at the Presidency of the Council on November, 23,2017, which copy is available to Echorouk, and is included in 87 pages.

The Committee said that the pension of the veterans is 720 euros in the Finance Act of 2017, and then rose in September to 748.8 euros, which makes the value of pensions of French recruits in the war of liberation (1954-1962), more than 658 million euros per month, which is equivalent to approximately 8900 billion centimes in national currency per month.

The cost of pensions for France’s recruits during the war of liberation (whose number is 900.000 people), in one year, reaches more than 7 billion and 900 million euros, which is more than 107 billion billion centimes annually.
