The increase in retirement pensions for 2025 has already been confirmed, and the current system that pays workers once they retire is a topic of debate in many gatherings. In one of them A young woman has attacked the current pension system, classifying it as a serious problem and an “example of lack of solidarity.”
It happened last night on the program ‘La Sexta Xplica’ on ‘La Sexta’ in which pensions in Spain were debated. Well-known figures such as the economist Gonzalo Bernardos, olto young Paloma Martín, responsible for ‘Lideremos Madrid’, who was the one who made these controversial comments.
The young woman classifies pensions as “unsupportive” and “pyramid scam”
In his speech, Martín began by explaining to the rest of the debate participants that he considers that pensions are currently a problem, ““Pensions are one of the most serious problems we have as a society right now” he clarified.
For her, the current system by which pensions are governed in Spain is a “example of lack of solidarity between generations that we have had until now.” As an argument for this statement, he explains that sees them as a kind of “pyramid scam”.
According to his theory, at first it only worked because the lower base of the pyramid (the young workers) could support the upper one (the retirees), but currently this is not sustained and the pyramid has been inverted, that is, the workers cannot They can support retirees’ pensions.
These arguments caused indignation among some of the experts who participated in this gathering, specifically the economics professor Gonzalo Bernardos threw his hands on his head with his comments while exclaiming “My mother.”
Another aspect that Martín criticizes is that Nobody tells the truth about pensions, and assures“We young people are contributing and we are not going to be able to have pensions in the future” and not only that “The ones we have are already being paid with debt.”
He blames the situation on the evolution that pensions have had throughout history, adding that ““The first generation that received pensions had not contributed and since then we have the generation that comes behind.”
Added to this is that people are living longer and that young people have less economic capacity, which makes it difficult for them to have children or access housing.
To end your speech addresses politicians and Spanish retirees. He asks the first to please tell the truth.“Go out and tell the young people that they are not going to have pensions, that they should start saving,” and to the retirees who think carefully about what they vote for “Vote in favor of what the youth needs” consider that it is the least they can do.
