In statements to the media, the general secretary of the National Confederation of Independent Trade Union Unity (Conusi), Marco Andrade, denied that even the draft of this campaign was not consulted with representatives of 10 of 11 organizations popular participant in thematic records on pensions. and medical benefits.
The Government is lying to the country, he said, when it says that the reforms to the CSS, which were prepared in the so-called Law 51, are the result of consensus, because they ignored claims such as the majority against raising retirement. age
On the other hand, he emphasized, the average worker in Panama is employed by the private sector for about five or seven months of the year, and with this project they could only aim for a miserable retirement.
We are concerned about different criteria in the Government itself when they say that the benefits system of 120 (dollars) at the age of 65 (years) will rise to 144 dollars and for that the State allocates 1,187 million dollars, the then the Minister of the Economy, Felipe Chapman, ensures that there will be 996 million, but where that increase will come from, it was questioned.
The groups that make up the Pueblo Unidos por la Vida alliance will meet at the University of Panama on November 16 to discuss the document in depth and adopt new acts of rejection, he said.
Andrade also denied that government officials contacted the CSS and asked for $490,000 for the transparency of the draft law, which goes against the rules and threatens the autonomy of the only public body which serves retirees.
He also warned that the legislative initiative they intend to introduce also gives extraordinary powers to the current director of the CSS, Dino Mon, to manage the money of a millionaire, knowing that he is a businessman ‘ comes from insurance companies to manage an institution affected by corruption. .
Finally, the leader of the union denied that the Government has given the task to the deputies to explain this draft bill to the people, which is not the responsibility of the legislators.
In that sense, he pointed out that they requested a meeting with representatives of the Health and Labor commission, led by Alain Cedeño, from the governing party Realizing Objectives, to discuss their disagreements and views on the the CSS is destined to be expressed.
