This Wednesday, CGTP-IN advocated for an urgent increase in pensions and the restoration of the retirement age at 65 years with the right to early retirement at 40 years with discounts without penalties.
“For CGTP-IN, the greatest demand that is currently being put forward is a general increase in pensions and an intensification of the fight for decent pensions and other important social rights that guarantee quality of life for all pensioners, economic and social autonomy, as well as intervention in the protection of the national social security system and the National Health Service,” he said in a statement.
It is important for the federation of trade unions to “evaluate old-age pensions and restore lost purchasing power” and “restore the retirement age to 65, guaranteeing the most favorable regimes and the right to voluntary early retirement at the age of 40 and over.” “Career for contribution, no penalties, regardless of age.”
The CGTP emphasizes that “low pensions are the main reason for retirees to work.”
“About half of the pensioners who continued to work (46.5%) did so for financial reasons, that is, more than 70 thousand pensioners aged 50 to 74 years worked for material needs,” he points out.
