The deputies of the Multicolor Coalition They met this Monday seeking to share the visions that are handled in each of their respective parties in relation to the social security reform. In this line, the deputy of the National Party (PN), Juan Martin Rodriguezassured at a press conference that changing the replacement rate from 20 to 15 years, as proposed Town meeting (AC), is one of the proposals “less likely to be viable,” given that “would undermine the financing and sustainability of the system“.
However, the legislator held that “is not the only proposal made by CA“, and many points raised, as well as many others that come from the Colorado partyhe independent party and the People’s Party“are being incorporated into these documents.”
Now, the pro-government deputies will hope to bring their differences closer in the meeting they will have on the day of tomorrow at 10:00 hours with authorities Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), he Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MTSS), and the Office of Planning and Budget (OPP), in the search to reach a vote before the weekend the project in Commission with the changes that will be sent from the Executive power.
The Commission has a deadline to submit the project to a vote until Friday. However, from CA the possibility of requesting an extension is being explored. About this, the also deputy of the PN, Peter Jisdonianindicated that “despite the fact that some point is not closed” he is optimistic of “reaching a project that is beneficial for the workers.”
What does the Open Town Hall require?
From CA they seek to eliminate the authorization that will allow the AFAP (Administrator of Pension Savings Funds) to invest amounts outside the country, something that was flatly ruled out by the senator and party leader, Guido Manini Rios.
Another point in which CA has differences is in the calculation period that defines the replacement rate with which a person is going to retire, asking that he pass from 25 to 15 years. The non-review of these points threatens the other partner parties of the Multicolor Coalition, which would be left empty-handed if they did not have the votes of CA.
In another order, the government alliance seeks to bring a position closer to CA by excluding the Notary Boxwhich had already requested that it be granted differential treatment.
