The House unanimously urged the National Government not to abolish the contributory pension adjustment (31/05/2010)

The three municipal groups have backed a motion of the Popular Party which calls for the Government of Spain to convene the Committee of the Toledo Pact so urgent to resume the work of the same, to be agreed by all groups reforms necessary to ensure the viability and future of our Social Security system.

The Full Council of Lorca unanimously adopted a motion of the Municipal People in urging the National Government to lift the measures for the abolition of the contributory pension increases.

At the same time requests the Government of Spain to convene the Committee of the Toledo Pact so urgent to resume the work of the same, to be agreed by all groups the necessary reforms to ensure the viability and future of our Social Security system.

The motion points out that some of the decisions that the Prime Minister announced on 12 May at the Congress of Deputies adopted, "unfair and unjustly injure more than 5 million pensioners, breaking in step one of the greatest achievements of our democracy: the Toledo Pact. "

In the text of the motion points out that the SP of state was reached in 1995 between all parliamentary groups, and received the support of trade unions in 1996 through the Agreement for consolidation and streamlining of the pension system.

These agreements, the result of a broad political dialogue and social responsibility, Social Security brought to our economic uncertainty and ensured a strong commitment from all viable and sustainable for our Social Security.

As reflected in the argument of the motion, "500,000 million pesetas deficit, insecurity can collect pensions and uncertainty of the pensioners to maintain their purchasing power were, among others, reason to assume that all parties to the Covenant Toledo and its recommendations. "

Law 24/1997 of July 16, consolidation and rationalization of Security, was a direct result of the Toledo Pact, which was intended to ensure compliance with the participation of all parliamentary groups, constituting a commission to that effect in Congress Deputies.

This Commission has been evaluating the implementation of commitments and recommendations since then and has done so effectively and rigorously under various governments.

It is currently reviewing a document dated January 29, 2010, sent by the Government for consideration and debate, so that agreements could be reached would lead to the reforms and legal amendments agreed by all political groups, without forgetting the participation of social partners in the social dialogue process currently open.

As referred to in this text "The announcement of cuts in the rights of pensioners, primarily the right to the revaluation by the CPI (Article 11 of Law 24/1997 of 16 July), comes to breaking the Toledo Pact, one of the most important achievements of our democracy.

These cuts will disenfranchise more than five million pensioners and takes us back to the times in which the Government, on grounds of expediency and political expediency, or was denied the pension increases and, therefore, give or removed the weakened purchasing power of pensioners economies.

There would be additional effects and undesirable to impoverish pensioners block "sine die" the basis on which pensions would be updated after the blockade of the amount raised by the government now. "

As recalled Councilman Finance, Antonio Ibarra, "experience shows that such measures, combined with rising taxes, especially VAT (2 point rise in July), create additional problems in consumption and in employment, whose evolution, if not corrected with appropriate reforms, will jeopardize the income from contributions, which are essential to keep our Social Security system.
