Town meeting (CA) tightened the rope again with the rest of the Multicolor Coalition in it Parliament by warning that “the votes are not there today” in the space to sanction the reform of the Retirement and Pension Fund for University Professionals (Cjppu), for which an extraordinary session is called on Monday at the Chamber of Deputies.
To make their position clear, legislators from AC They held a press conference where they clarified that there is “the will to move this project forward,” but they indicated that they are waiting for “responses from the Executive power”, in the midst of the crisis that the Fund is going through.
Deputy Martin Sodano explained that the space “understands the urgent need to carry out a reform of the Professional Box” and regretted that the Parliament “has not had enough time for an exhaustive analysis of the situation and possible alternative solution.”
Sodano highlighted the dialogue and the predisposition of both Executive power as well as members of other parties of the Multicolor Coalition and specified that “Town meeting “He must have left some of his ideas behind, so we understand that we are on a good path.” However, he clarified that CA’s “votes are not yet there” for the reform.
What are the changes to the project proposed by Cabildo Abierto?
One of the requests of the party led by the senator Guido Manini Ríos It has to do with the rate that retirees must pay to finance the system. CA seeks the rate to be 7.5%, while the Colorado Party He wants it to be 6% and the original project establishes a progressive rate of 2% to 10%, depending on the income of each liability.
It also seeks to have a more significant contribution from Executive so that liabilities and assets are not the only ones that finance the Box. “Today the State, with the issue of contributions from active professionals, asks for 19%; Town meeting asks that that 16.5% go to 19.5%, making professionals responsible for 1.5% and the State for 1.5%,” he pointed out. Sodano.
Another suggestion made by the space is that the government anticipate the delivery of financial assistance to the Professionals Box, which was expected to begin the following year and which represents about 2,000 million pesos for a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 14.
In addition, to agree on a proposal, the increase in the cost of professional stamps is pending, with the objective of reducing the impact of the contribution that liabilities must make, although from the Executive They insist that the measure would be very difficult to apply and would have a “distorting” effect, mainly for small businesses.
