Press Release 1639 "Wednesday for Retirees" August 29, 2023

The general elections are less than two months away and, as happened in the PASO campaign, retirees and retirees still do not have a positive response to our just demands, which in substance are synthesized infive points agreed upon by a group of trade union, retiree and social organizations. Namely: 1) Minimum retirement not less than the Basic Basket of the Elderly calculated by the Ombudsman for the Third Age of the CABA 2) 82% mobile on the salary of the active worker in the same position, trade or function and the recomposition according to the work history of each worker, with recomposition of all the scales 3) Creation of the National Institute of Social Welfare, which will function as a non-profit non-state public law entity, with autarchy and legal, financial, accounting and administrative economic autonomy, directed and administered, as established by the National Constitution, by its stakeholders, who are the representatives of active workers , retirees and the participation of the State. 4) INSSJP normalization (PAMI), ending the Intervention and updating all those concepts corresponding to social benefits, guaranteeing equitable, effective and timely coverage of the beneficiaries, regardless of their place of residence. 5) Housing in Comodatum for retirees and pensioners; 10 (ten) percent of the housing units whose construction is financed directly or indirectly, totally or partially, with funds from the National Treasury Unfortunately, and in light of the evidence, it seems that these very important issues that involve more than seven and a half million older adults are not of interest to the majority forces that are running for the nation's presidency. In some cases we only hear references to pension reforms that would have as their main objective the privatization of the system or its direct elimination. As if that were not enough, the IMF requires Argentina from the last disbursement of US$7.5 billioncheck (that is, to continue with further adjustments) pension assets. On the other hand, the modifications approved in Deputies to the rental law mean certain damages to the rights of tenants and that, for obvious reasons, increase in the case of retirees. Retirees and retirees do not want handouts. We demand that our rights be realized. We have a few years, but even so we will continue fighting until the last breath for the same rights of the working class. EMERGENCY RAISE NOW! TO REACH A MINIMUM HAVE EQUAL TO THE BASIC BASKET OF AN ELDERLY PERSON AND PROPORTIONAL IN THE RETIREMENT SCALES!!! FREE TRANSPORTATION FOR RETIRED AND RETIRED!!!
