As someone who's not familiar with the situation in the Netherlands, it would be interesting to know how pensioners feel about potential cuts to their income.

Are the potential cuts something that pensioners are resigned to accepting? Or are they considered to be anathema (e.g. given your reporting that "VCP reminded the government of its responsibility for maintaining purchasing power for retirees")? Do most retirees have high and inflexible outgoings (e.g. rent payments) that mean they could not easily reduce their spending if their incomes were cut?
