Senator and Cabildo Abierto leader Guido Manini Ríos said that his party proposed improvements in the pension reform that do not jeopardize the continuity of the ruling coalition.
“If someone wants to break it (the coalition), let them say so”wrote the senator of the Republic on his Twitter account this Friday.
The social security reform is one more project within the period of government. Cabildo Abierto has proposed modifications to have the best possible project. In no way is the government coalition put at risk. If someone wants to break it, say so… pic.twitter.com/kXD6ATxHSr

Next Monday the special commission of deputies that treats the retirement reform will meet againafter an extension that the entire commission voted on.
The original plan of the ruling party was for the commission to vote on and submit the bill to the House of Representatives on Friday, March 31, but Cabildo Abierto raised some objections and asked for an intermediate room until next Monday.
From outside the coalition, the Broad Front supported this request. And then the rest of the ruling party voted for the extension.
Lacalle Pou said no to most of the changes proposed by the Cabildo
The Executive Power transmitted to Cabildo Abierto that most of the seven changes you requested cannot be incorporatedas he learned The Observer from government sources.
The most important change that the lobbyists requested was to modify the way in which the basic retirement salary is determined and let them pass to take the best 20 yearsinstead of the 25 that the Senate voted for.
The government replied that this it could be partially and temporarily fulfilled in the military and police boxessince they are the ones that currently do not have the 20 best years in their formula.
President Luis Lacalle Pou also responded negatively to the proposal to “break down” the provisions that modify the investments admitted in the AFAPs.
