La Prensa newspaper and Goebbelsian propaganda against Solidarity

For almost two in the newspaper La Prensa is developing a fierce campaign against solidarity social security. The same, following the guidelines of Joseph Goebbels, the infamous minister of propaganda of the Nazi regime, is based on the constant repetition of half-truths, scientifically unfounded arguments and plain untruths, in order to terrorize the insured, psychologically condition them. to access a reform of the pension system in order to secure interests clique of financial capital.

The reform that the newspaper La Prensa intends to impose, which is clear from the article published in it on April 13, 2021 under the title “The path towards CSS reforms” (p, 1B), not only tends to make parametric changes involving lifting retirement age, increase the seniority of contributions, increase the quota paid by workers and reduce the amounts of new pensions.

A three-pillar system is also proposed, at the heart of which is the generalization of the individual account model, together with the possible private management of pension funds, as seen in Conep proposals.

In the latest chapter Gobelian propaganda from the newspaper La Prensa against solidarity, using the arguments of various actors associated with business groups, it is wanted to point out that Law 51, which promotes the government of Martin Torrios and financial capital, is not to blame for the current crisis situation of the solidarity pension model (SEBD). This is an argument that cannot be supported by facts.

This Law established that since 2008, no new taxpayer can access the solidarity system, which means that from 2007 to 2019, the number of active taxpayers decreased by 280,535, while the number IVM pensioners will increase by 118,349 people. Consequently the ratio of active contributors to pensioners fell from 5.6 to 2.2.

Informants from the newspaper La Prensa assures that it was clear to them, who represented the economy, that the Act would generate a transition cost, which should be covered in order to ensure the pensions of the last generation of insured persons of the solidarity system. This, in our opinion, is incorrect, because if the said sector had this among its goals, it should have proposed Law 51, which promoted with Martin Torriosit contained enough mechanisms to fully finance the transition, which did not happen.

In our opinion, they were so interested in promoting individual accounts that they realized that it was not convenient to show the costs of their reform. On the other hand, to say that the model he proposes Conep supports, since it proposes a non-contributory pension that it pays Balance approximately B/. 120.0 per month from the age of 65, for those who cannot pay into individual accounts, it is a proposal full of cynicism. Not only because it is an amount that is not even half the price of the basic food basket. And because of responsibility falls on the burden of public financesin an environment where the business sector annually evades taxes for the amount of 10.0% of the gross domestic product.

The aggressiveness of finance capital against true solidarity becomes clear when the representative He himself told the newspaper La Prensa in order to “justify those who refuse to pay social security…” in front of the solidarity model. It’s actually an excuse for a crime. This is, therefore, the duty of every conscientious citizen to face the Gobelian campaign of this media communication of the oligarchy.
