the announced pension reform, a reform that will hurt, eventually, most of the workers as raise the retirement age from 65 to 67 years gradually after a flexible adaptation process 15, which will only enter into force fully in 2027, and everything indicates that it will expand the number years of contributions to qualify for a pension. Our pension system is supported with quotations from those who work on behalf of pensioners, ie pensions are paid from the contributions of those listed, and as the falling birth rates and increasing life expectancy, plus the fact that pensioners are growing faster than those entering the labor market (now four contributors per retiree), something must be reformed if we want to continue with the same system. The pension amount is determined by applying a percentage depending on the years of contributions. Currently, the minimum number of years to be listed to receive a pension is 15 years to be eligible a cobrar un 50% del salario percibido y si se quiere cobrar el 100%, se deberá cotizar 35 años.
La clase política es ajena a esta reforma pues sus señorías disfrutan del privilegio de poder retirarse con la pensión máxima con tan sólo siete años. Ello se debe a que gozan de la llamada “pensión parlamentaria”, prevista en el Reglamento de pensiones de las Cortes Generales, publicada en el Boletín Oficial de las mismas con fecha 14 de julio del 2006. Esta pensión se creó para los supuestos en que los parlamentarios no alcancen el límite máximo de pensiones públicas. En estos casos las Cámaras (Congreso, Senado, y prácticamente todas las autonomías) would pay the difference to complete the maximum pension. But these privileges do not stay there, because up to 75% of real income is tax-free policy. Specifically, between 40% and 75% of real wages, tax-exempt. That is, not taxed to finance, due to the bulky diets collecting their Lordships. There are other benefits in respect of termination benefits, pension plans, etc., Obviously not to delay the issue.
is evident the different measuring stick between them and ordinary citizens. It hardly seems fair that they themselves consider the importance of their role, with a salary and privileges self-imposed where all agree, by majority, where the desired consensus is reached quickly. The immorality of the economic rights of difference between politicians and the rest of the population, which should set an example of austerity and cost containment asking the rest of us, increases the prestige of some to others. No wonder they fight like lions are hungry to get your chair or place of power. No doubt there will be politicians committed to a desire to work for the common good, but popular sentiment is very negative.
So now you know: You just have to join any political party, which included on their lists, and as you vote the party and not the person, if elected, and have secured enough for their economic future. No need to submit any "curriculum", or pass any examination to determine their worth. No need. Only you will be required obedience and discipline.
The discrediting of politicians is becoming increasingly evident. English society is detected resigned and a political class peppered, increasingly, cases of corruption which there is a greater distance between them. We live in a hopeless and lacking motivation. Citizens increasingly more wary and lower trust in the promises made by politicians. Maybe they should be less distant from the reality of the street, seriously concerned about the real problems of others, and not worry so much about theirs. Miguel F.
