The president of the Broad Front maintained that the bill underwent more than 100 modifications in the last four weeks.
The president of the broad front (FA), Fernando Pereiraassured the press that the social security reform bill “it’s frankenstein“because he himself suffered”more than 100 modifications” during “the last four weeks”.
The party leader fired at the government, stating that it is about “a very bad law“, and that the dozens of changes came to the FA “in the last hours”, in an attitude of “noneo” towards its political force, which, in the words of Pereira, “does not harm us, but bothers”.
For Pereira, the problem causes great harm to the workers, since they will have to “Work more, to earn less“. These affirmations have been shared by the PIT-CNTsince the trade union central pointed out that the reform “it is a hidden tax adjustment” which is carried out by the government.
The general secretary of the Socialist Party (PS) and deputy for the FA, Gonzalo Civilaindicated in a press conference that “movements have been generated that make it no longer very well known what the reform consists of”, because “things have been removed, others have been added”, and “parameters that were said to be unchangeable have been modified“.
The pension reform was worked on “with improvisation,” said Civila
For the legislator, from the government “you are working with improvisationin a project that what it produces, basically, is an adjustment with regression in rights“, in addition to adding more requirements for people to access a retirement.”
Although it is public knowledge that the FA will vote against the reform, it is still unknown how it will proceed with certain articles of the same, such as the one that refers to the reduction of the Social Security Assistance Tax (IASS).
After last Thursday, the representatives of the FA withdrew from the Special Commission of Deputies when the regulations were being voted on, this Sunday, party advisers and legislators met at the Center for Montevideo to evaluate the changes made by the Multicolor Coalition.
