Supreme Court dismissed pension claim for journalist who did not work on employment contract at retirement age.

The Supreme Court dismissed the pensioner's cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of a special character pension. The court found that the applicant, a freelance journalist, did not meet the statutory requirement of working on an employment contract on the day he reached retirement age. The court ruled that pension regulations for this specific group must be interpreted strictly and exclude those working under freelance or honorarium arrangements.
