Councilman Jose Zapata defend in a motion the withdrawal of the draft pension reform that aims to make the PP government, without any consensus, regardless of the social and political, for the sole purpose of satisfying the markets and approaches austericidas of the 'troika'

The Socialist councilor Jose Zapata take the next full council a motion calling for the City Council to "ask the government of the nation do not rush the pension reform, as it represents a discount of you and reversal in a system that has appeared reasonably effectively and efficiently for decades and represents a blow to one of the sectors hardest hit by the crisis, the elderly and the disabled. A reform that is intended to unnecessarily urgently and without social or political consensus and also seriously undermine the rights of current and future pensioners. "

For the Socialist councilor, "any change in the current public system should be following the example of the Toledo Pact that has guaranteed stability for decades."

Therefore, the PSOE mayor rejects unjustified urgency is showing Rajoy government to impose its reform in a hurry for the sole purpose of satisfying the 'markets'.

The PP government aims to reduce pensions by way of not adapt to the CPI, reducing purchasing power and the quality of life of pensioners.

Just the opposite of what common sense would dictate which would lead to a pension "misery" including those that were calculated on the highest possible regulatory bases.

Zapata recalls that "pensions are the exclusive competence of national policy are faring rather badly and pensioners; towards costs and financing disappearance of dependence, including, for their pensions now become a new sacrifice Rajoy Government to please the markets. "

In addition, the PSOE mayor highlights the lack of rigor in this process by the Rajoy government commissioning a report to a group of experts, which has been developed in just two months, for which simulations have not been made official on the effects posed proposals and for more 'INRI' independence is strongly questioned after news that five of the experts are strongly linked to financial and insurance entities. "Zapata asks:" How can it be that the pension plans are one good business for insurers and instead the public welfare system, not profitable for the state?.

Carried out reform in the terms you are knowing, says Zapata, "these measures will impact negatively on our economy and of course employment. Spain still has a significant financial cushion, the Reserve Fund of pension- that the previous government left more than 67,000 million euros, guaranteeing to maintain budget balance current pension system for at least another five years, even in very adverse economic conditions.

However in Spain pensions are still low and many of our elders, because of the present circumstances, living below the poverty line. "
