The basic state pension, not a penny more ... and too bad for the gardener and the "high social status." Swiss court refused to put butter in the spinach to one of its nationals, who runs his retirement in a Thai resort. The man, who has lived since 1991 in Pattaya, had requested the assistance of the Swiss Confederation for the ailing living abroad, reports Le Matin.
The pensioner, aged 66, had said he could no longer fund all its expenses - including his gardener - with his pension of 1 150 Swiss francs (890 euros) per month. He also said that his position as an expatriate Swiss citizen and forced him, as "someone socially higher," to accept certain obligations and make expenditures for the "neighborhood".
The Federal Administrative Court (TAF) reminded the complainant that only expenditures "necessary" could warrant a Federal aid if the income was not enough.
