Press Release 1618 *Wednesday for Retirees* April 4, 2023
1968-APRIL 4-2023. 55 YEARS AFTER THE CREATION OF OUR NATIONAL COORDINATING BOARD OF RETIRED AND PENSIONAD ORGANIZATIONS OF THE R.A., WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE IDEAS AND EXAMPLE OF MILITANCY OF COMPAÑERAS AND COMPAÑERAS THAT GAVE IT ORIGIN, WE CONTINUE THE FIGHT UNTIL WE MAKE THE GOALS A REALITY FOUNDING AND CURRENT OBJECTIVES FOR THE RIGHT TO LIVE WITH AUTONOMY AND DIGNITY IN THE RETIREMENT STAGE OF LIFE
As we have been pointing out and denouncing, the decree of the Executive Power of pesification of assets of the Sustainability Guarantee Fund is the continuity of the management, by the executive powers on duty, of the pension funds that come from the salaries and deferred income of the workers, for other purposes unrelated to obtaining retirement and pensions to live with autonomy and dignity. This situation is increased by the agreements established with the IMF by the previous government, which resulted in an external debt with the aforementioned organization, and which, even considering it illegitimate, illegal and hateful, was refinanced by the current government, without the essential prior investigation. the destination of those funds. A refinancing with the IMF agreeing on pension adjustments and reforms, which it applies internationally and which lead to converting retirement into a survival subsidy and privatization, as we already experienced with the Menemist AFJPs, to increase the super profits of banking and financial capital . The pension funds, including the Sustainability Guarantee Fund, must be directed and administered by representatives of active workers and retirees, and the State participating as responsible for Social Security.
With unity and struggle, let us promote a great debate and popular mobilization, which wins the treatment and sanction in the Chamber of Deputies and in the National Congress, of the Project for a new Social Welfare Law, prepared by a group of trade union organizations and of retirees.
In the bill, a priority is who should direct and administer the pension funds and it is established in Chapter III articles 13 to 34:
ARTICLE 13.- The National Social Welfare Institute is created, which will function as a non-profit, non-state public law entity, with autarchy and economic, legal, financial, accounting and administrative autonomy....

ARTICLE 15.- The Institute will be led and administered by a board of directors made up of seven (7) Directors, one of whom will act as President, elected by his peers.
