With that decision, August and September payments were tied to the inflation update mechanism.
The movement opened a new chapter in the pulse between the ruling and the opposition, which now seeks to gather the two necessary thirds In both chambers to impose the norm despite the presidential objection. However, even if that scenario took place, from the Casa Rosada they already advanced that They would bring the discussion to the judicial land To stop the application.

What would have happened to the opposition formula
If the law approved in Congress had overcome the veto, the numbers would have been very different. The minimum would have climbed to $ 336,928 And, adding the $ 110,000 bonus, it would have been located in $ 446,928. The increase would also be reflected in the Puam, which would reach $ 379,510 With reinforcement, and in the PNC, which would climb $ 346,855.
In the case of maximum being, the figure would have promoted to $ 2,267,263about $ 152,000 more than effectively paid. Only in the minimum, the pocket difference was around $ 62,000 in a month.

The discussion about pension assets not only reflects the political tension between the Executive and Congress, but also the magnitude of the tax adjustment that the Government seeks to preserve. For retirees, the definition can mean between $ 55,000 and $ 63,000 extra per month in the lowest assetsan amount that in practice represents the boundary between a simple relief and the continuity of the deterioration of purchasing power.
