With current pension laws, the loss of purchasing power will increase. With the unity and struggle of union, retiree, social organizations, consistent with the interests of the working class, let us promote a great debate and popular mobilization, which wins treatment and sanction in the Chamber of Deputies and in Congress of the Nation, of our Project for a new Social Welfare Law, which we will present again because the parliamentary majorities in office in the Chamber of Deputies "boxed" it for a decade, preventing its treatment in the respective Commissions, and, despite of the mobilizations, of the presentation of more than a million signatures, of meetings in parliamentary spheres, made him lose parliamentary status every two years as established by the regulation, and, with the updates that we are carrying out with a group of organizations, We will return to present it!! In the bill, a priority is those who must direct and administer the pension funds, which 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....

TO PUT AN END TO THE ADJUSTMENT POLICIES AND PENSION REFORMS THAT THE IMF AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL POWER OF THE LARGE ECONOMIC GROUPS APPLY AT THE INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL, LEADING TO TURNING RETIREMENT INTO A SURVIVAL SUBSIDY AND ITS PRIVATIZATION, THE EXPERIENCE OF THE STRUGGLES THAT ARE DEVELOPING IN OUR AMERICA AND IN THE WORLD, UNITY OF THE ACTIVE AND RETIRED WORKING CLASS IS THE WAY TO FIGHT FOR A TRUE PUBLIC, DISTRIBUTION, ASSISTED, INTERGENERATIONAL PENSION SYSTEM, A HEALTH AND HOUSING SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS THE CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF RETIRED PEOPLE TO LIVE WITH AUTONOMY AND DIGNITY AND RETIRED!!
