This Thursday morning they voted in Special Commission of the Chamber of Deputies the project for the social security reform, proposed and agreed upon by the official coalition. During the rest of the day the vote on the articles will continue.
Once the entire project is approved in the Commission, the text will go to the Plenary of the House of Representatives for its corresponding debate and vote. However, the path of reform does not end there as he will need to return to the Senate to approve the changes carried out at the request of the Colorado party and Town meeting.
Although the entire official coalition voted in favour, after several rounds and rounds with some details of the bill that led to its modification, the broad front voted unanimously in the negative and subsequently withdrew from the room.
The last modifications of the project
The first party to demand a change was Cabildo Abierto, the most reluctant to reform, and to which the Executive agreed to their demands, despite being questioned as to whether these modifications would not change the essence and livelihood of the project. The most relevant change was changing the basis of the reform by reducing the years taken to calculate retirement from 25 to 20. Also, an agreement was reached with the gradual repeal of the Social Security Assistance Tax (IASS), a request that would later also be made by the Colorado Party.
Faced with these modifications, the Colorado Party decided to ask for two intermediate rooms to be able to study the changes in the equations of retirement assets and how much it would cost the government. Over time, from the party they proposed 10 changes of which the Executive He accepted only 3.
The first change was linked to the minimum number of years worked. The minimum age will be 65 years for those who have contributed for 30 years, but with the new red proposal, those who have contributed for 35 years may retire at 64 and those who have done it for 38 years will be able to do it at 63 years old.
Second, the colorados detected a project design error, which was communicated to Lacalle Pou, and which will be corrected in the next few hours. As the document was written up to now, those born in 1972 could retire at 60 years of age, while those who did so in 1973, at least 63 years of age, which meant an unfounded jump.
With the new modification, it will be gradual: about those who were born in 1973 there will be one minimum age 61 yearsabout those of 1974, of 62 yearsabout those of 1975, of 63 yearsabout those of 1976, of 64 yearsand about those of 1977, of 65 yearslike the rest.
Thirdly, the last change is associated with the request of the Cabildo Abierto on the reduction of the IASS, although the magnitude of the change still needs to be defined. tax relief.
