Deputies: with extremely narrow numbers, the ruling party won a quorum to resolve the moratorium on pensions

Accompanied by part of the "middle blocks", Frente de Todos managed to start a session where they are preparing to sanction a moratorium on pensions and the implementation of a unique national program for the computerization and digitization of the clinical history of the Republic of Argentina.

So, before the end of the period of extraordinary sessions, the ruling party will achieve a narrow victory. "Kirchnerism distributes resources that do not exist", warned Zajedno for changes outlining the reasons why they will reject the measure that allows more than 740,000 people to retire.

With very close numbers, 129, the House presiding Cecilia Moreau managed to start the session called for 10.30. He had the presence for that Socialism, the identity of Buenos Aires, the United Provinces and the left. instead of that, Together for changes and Federal Cordoba, The bloc corresponding to Governor Juan Schiaretti, apart from the Liberals, did not secure a quorum. They waited for 129 to be written on the board in order to go down to the complex.

The goal of the Frente de Todos is that before the end of the extraordinary session, on March 1, the Congress sanctions at least two of the nearly thirty topics approved by President Alberto Fernández deal in his decree.

Among them the moratorium on pensions which enables nearly 740,000 people of retirement age to access pension credit, despite not having a statutory 30-year contribution. The payout plan approved by the Senate mid-last year allows those nearing age 60 (women) or 65 (men) to pay their pension debt in "contribution cancellation units," the equivalent of one month's service.

In addition, the initiative includes a payment plan for those workers who have less than 10 years until retirement age, so they can start writing off their pension debts. And thus reach retirement age without obligations to attend. It is estimated that 552,000 women and 327,000 men are able to regulate obligations.

Another law that the ruling party hopes to sanction today is one that seeks to establish an obligation for patients to have free access to your medical history through a nationwide digitized system.

Together for Change rejects the moratorium

Before the start of the session, the Juntos por el Cambio interbloc announced their reasons for rejecting the moratorium on pensions. In it, they explained that "for many years, through the moratorium, they tried to hide the real problem of the system, which is the extremely high informality of the Argentine labor market, without attacking the problem."

In this sense, the text states that "the inclusion of a huge number of people without contributions in the contributory system, in the long run, damages it to death. The result is its unsustainability and the permanent deterioration of the million-dollar pension". Argentines".

And he concludes: "You must say in all letters: Kirchnerism allocates resources that do not exist. Instead of generating more rights through sustainable economic growth, with more investments and more registered quality jobs, on the contrary, it generates a larger fiscal deficit, and then, in order to reduce it, it cuts pension spending by applying retirement mobility, which is always lower than the pension itself. the high inflation we have today in Argentina".
