Facebook: National Coordinating Table of Organizations of Retirees and Pensioners

Press Release 1635 "Wednesday for Retirees" August 1, 2023

 From the National Coordinating Table of Organizations of Retirees and Pensioners we have been supporting, for years, the urgent need to advance in a law that establishes a new pension system. We insist on this point because, otherwise, we will continue to see how the governments of the day implement "patches" that are far from satisfying the legitimate demands of retirees and pensioners. As a backdrop are the demands of the IMF, the body of the large dominant economic groups of the capitalist system, in the agreements it has with the Government for the refinancing (without the essential investigation of the destination of these funds) of the illegitimate, illegal and fraudulent external debt contracted by the previous government. These demands are intended, with adjustments and underfunding of the pension system, to produce a reform aimed at privatizing the system, as the IMF has been doing internationally. Even in these days of the electoral campaign, there are candidates who try to justify having implemented, when they were civil servants, the decrease in retirement assets.

 ByThat is why we are working on a bill that establishes a new public Pension System, pay-as-you-go, solidary, intergenerational, among other qualities. Draft new Social Security Law that we will present again because, during the last decade, in successive presentations in the National Chamber of Deputies, with the signature of deputies and hundreds of thousands of endorsement signatures and mobilizations of our people, the majorities Parliamentarians on duty refused to debate in the respective Commissions, preventing their parliamentary treatment.

 Those who need predictability are the workers and workers who cannot accept that in the last years of a working life, we have to be begging for a paltry improvement in our assets. Neither arbitrary bonuses, nor fake loans. We demand 82% mobile, incorporating and putting an end to illegal unregistered, precarious work, unemployment and underemployment. In the immediate and urgent, there is a reality that must be faced.

 WE DEMAND: an emergency increase that allows the minimum income to be equivalent to the Basic Basket of the Elderly, in accordance with the provisions of the Ombudsman for the Third Age of the CABA, and proportional in the pension scales.

On the other hand, it is very important that free tickets for any means of transportation for retirees and pensioners from all over the country be established through the corresponding legal instrument.
