Pension reform shelved after Concòrdia withdraws support
The majority finished a pension reform draft but will not present it after Concòrdia pulled out of the consensus, citing electoral calculation.
Key Points
- The majority finished a pension reform draft but will not present it after Concòrdia pulled out of the consensus, citing electoral calculation.
Pension reform will not be approved during the current legislature. The majority group that supports the government has finished drafting the text, but it will not be submitted for parliamentary procedure because Concòrdia has withdrawn from the consensus on the measures included in the reform.
Lawmakers from different parties agree that, without progressive changes to several points, the pension system will collapse; projections, they say, must be reconciled with commitments to current and future pensioners and the CASS reserve fund. Concòrdia had participated actively in the drafting work but has now stepped away from the agreement.
