The pension moratorium expires this Sunday, March 23. Will imply that 9 out of 10 women and 7 out of 10 men will not be able to retire. The option that will remain at the next generations to retire, will have the “option” of the PUAM (elderly pension) that is only 80% of the minimum retirement without a bonus. $ 223,300 in March.
That the pension moratorium ceases to exist is one of the deepest wishes of the promoters of the chainsaw against retirees and retirees. Also of the IMF. As Nicolás del Caño on the left denounced, “The IMF says that in Argentina a lot of retirement is paid and that there are many retirement”. In that tune was freedom progresses, the PRO, practically the entire Federal UCR and innovation, federal meeting sectors and other provincials. And they did it while out of Congress there was a new mass mobilization for retirees.
There were 124 deputies and deputies who wanted to meet To treat projects to extend the pension moratorium for two years, with PUnion Royectos For the Homeland, Left Front and Pamela Caletti of Innovation. They were left alone 5 to get the quorum.
Extension of pension moratorium: There were 124 sitting deputies, only 5 for the quorum were missing. If UP was complete, there was quorum. There were another 33 deputies of the FIT and CC (complete), some of EF and DPS, and up to 2 UCR and 2 of innovation https://t.co/g1AxGrdoqv

The projects to extend the pension moratorium had no opinion, so if it got the quorum it would be difficult for them to approve. They were going to need two thirds. But if there was a session, they could at least vote a site to the commissions to treat them urgently by the imminent expiration. In this way, Jose Luis Espert could be forced, who chairs Budget and Finance, to have to convene the commission and rule with dates. As was done with the projects linked to the crypto scam $ libra.
The message left by the Freedom Government and its allies is that they do not want to discuss the retirement moratorium. Meanwhile, retirees of the minimum scratch $ 350,000 per month, for that They mobilize every Wednesday in Congress. And they will continue to do it.
