A review will be carried out to determine whether it is necessary to raise the retirement age in order to ensure the sustainability of the pension system. In this process, the tripartite table will discuss the possibility of extending the voting period. Despite this, deputies Barboni and Luis Eduardo Camacho agree that there is a consensus among lawmakers not to support the increase in the retirement age proposed by the Executive, which was eliminated initially and not included in the final text drafted by the corresponding Commission.
The three entities involved will generate a report to determine whether or not to maintain the current retirement age in the final law, depending on the system approved during subsequent debates. The goal of the tripartite table is to produce an objective report that will then be presented to the Executive as a recommendation to be included in the project. The proposed modifications focus on improving issues such as the health system of the CSS, pensions, personnel management, and the creation of a technical board, among other aspects.
One of the most relevant topics in the discussions is the supply of medications and supplies, as well as the percentages and conditions to access retirement. Veteran deputy Benicio Robinson raised this line of debate in his recent intervention. With 259 proposed modifications on the table, the National Assembly is preparing to resume the second debate on reforms to the CSS and IVM after the carnival festivities.
The fate of these modifications and when the voting will take place to conclude the second debate, which has been divided into three parts and maintains the crucial point of the decision not to increase the retirement age, is still unknown. After the third block, the creation of a tripartite table composed of academic institutions, unions, and a firm specialized in pensions is proposed. Although the PRD will not be part of this table, as it has defended the position of not increasing the retirement age from the beginning, there is support for an alternative proposal to conduct an actuarial study in the next six years.
