The official presented these data after the Social Security Commission of the Chamber of Deputies approved it to create the Pension Fund for Welfarea purse of 40 billion pesos that seeks for the State to guarantee the payment of retirements with 100 percent of the last salary.
Opposition accuses the Pension Fund for Welfare of “looting”
The opposition has denounced that the proposal is “looting” because the resources of the fund will come from inactive people over 70 years old who have worked in the formal economy in the country’s private sector, and who are 75 years old if they have worked in the Government, who have not claimed their money from the Afores.
The legal reform, which only needs a simple majority in Congress, seeks for the López Obrador Government to create this fund before achieving the constitutional reform, which it proposed on February 5 and requires two-thirds of the legislators, to establish as a right a 100 percent pension upon retirement.
It will be until this Monday that the law that was about to be approved on Wednesday but was postponed due to irregularities in the opinion presented by the ruling National Regeneration Movement (Morena) will be discussed.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador clarified during his morning conference that with this reform they do not seek to steal, expropriate or confiscate the Afores. * With information from EFE
