Murro remarked that in the last two years pensions and pensions have dropped; and he exemplified that a person who earns 20,000 pesos a month, in each month stopped earning about 360 pesos, which in two years is more than 8,500 pesos, “which is a lot of money.”
He added that for the government this means a saving of 200 million dollars. “To get an idea, no matter how tough the retirement and pension reform is that comes after March 27, it will be very difficult to save a similar figure.”
To this must be added the 65 million dollars that the government collected from the increase in the IASS for those who earn a little more in retirement, and from the increase in personal income tax on salaries.
“That is money that did not go to the pockets of retirees, pensioners, people with disabilities and those most affected by the pandemic, but it also did not go to the cashier of the grocer, baker, hardware store or trade showman,” Murro remarked.
tax rule
He assured that this is “linked to some of the articles of the LUC that refer to the fiscal rule, that is, the limit that the government can spend, which could be good but not at the expense of retirement and pensions.”
He recommended voting “Yes” to the repeal of 135 articles of the LUC, because after March 27 “we must continue fighting to improve people’s quality of life.”
