The executive director of the National Social Security Administration (Anses), Fernanda Raverta, stated this Friday that “it seems that the opposition does not care that Argentines retire.”
In the absence of a quorum to discuss the Pension Debt Payment Plan so that men and women who are of retirement age but do not have the necessary 30 years of contributions, Raverta highlighted that the project in question “already came with half a sanction in the Senate, therefore the illusion was that it would become law.”
“It seems that the opposition does not care nor does it seem necessary that Argentine men and women retire because They didn’t even go down to the compound. They could have proposed a better idea or some modificationbut they didn’t want to discuss it directly,” he said.
Raverta stressed that the project in question “already had half a sanction in the Senate, therefore the hope was that it would become law”
“Since 2005, Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner drew up laws so that Argentine men and women could retire without having 30 years of contributions but being able to return what was owed to the State. There was a lot of celebration and in fact the huge number of retirees that we know of was thanks to that moratorium,” he added.
On the other hand, he affirmed that in the country “There are very few people who can retire with 30 years of contributions, one in ten women and three in ten men. In other words, what has been happening since 2005 can no longer continue happening because we needed this law.”
“No one doubts that in Argentina we all work, what there is is a problem in the registration of those years of work to be able to access the 30 years of contributions required by law, that is why we wanted the Pension Debt Payment Plan, to be able to return those years of contributions being able to access a retirement”, concluded the head of the organization.
