Press Release 1652 “Wednesday of Retirees” November 28, 2023

The elections of last November 19 mean the triumph of the political extreme right most committed to the interests of the large dominant economic groups of the world and national capitalist system.

His government proposals imply the reiteration of anti-popular initiatives that would be implemented quickly and thoroughly.

If we think that they are other political actors than those who tried the same thing in the past, we are wrong. They are the same political and business sectors that belong to the group of “historical enemies of the people.” It is enough to review names that are mentioned for political positions.

In the case of pension policy, last week we denounced the then mentioned almost certain director of ANSES, Carolina Píparo, who presents herself as an ultra-liberal anti-State, and who has lived off the State's income for many years, and who , as a provincial legislator, she voted for the bill of former governor Maria Eugenia Vidal, seriously harming the retired workers of the Bank of the Province of Buenos Aires,

But, as the popular song says, “life gives you surprises.” So much so that the exponent of the “hard hand” was left out of that possibility without fundamental explanations being given so far.

However, they have spread that the person who will replace her in this role is an old well-known adjuster such as Osvaldo Giordano who was Secretary of Social Security from 2007 to 2015 and currently Schiaretti's Minister of Finance. In his government performance, he promoted various adjustments to the detriment of Córdoba retirees, reducing the percentages of mobility and assets and increasing the retirement age and the years to be considered to determine retirement assets. Detail: it did not touch on any privileges of the judges. For a change, he is a member of the Mediterranean Foundation, that of Domingo Cavallo, which explains everything. The elected president Javier Milei decided to change a "gnocchi" person, from the State, and useless, for a "brain" of economic power.

Meanwhile, the majority of retirees continue to suffer with miserable salaries and the anguish caused by an uncertain future. There is talk of the non-collection of bonuses starting in January, the declaration of the pension emergency and the consequent freezing of assets in a context of high inflation, among other issues. A total income of around $160,000 for most of our colleagues compared to a basic basket for older adults of almost $400,000 is the reality we are going through.

Faced with this very serious situation and the worst future prospects, from the National Coordinating Table of Retirement and Pensioner Organizations of the R.A. We call on union, retirement, social and political organizations to organize and join forces in unity and mobilization to confront the attempts of national and transnational economic power and its political and media managers to increase their enormous profits with the increase in the super exploitation of the working class and popular sectors
