One of the hottest debates today is that of pensions. There are many people who say that young people will not be able to collect a retirement pension in the future, questioning the sustainability of the system. So, the Minister of Security, Elma Saiz, has manifested himself on occasion about this aspect, launching a reassuring message: “The Government of Spain works for and for you. Promoting measures and reforms that guarantee you the youngest generations more and better future opportunities.”
This was stated at the beginning of the year, during a visit to the Public University of Navarra (UPNA), in which he assured that the pensions of the young Spaniards are “guaranteed.” On this subject, they also deepened a program of ‘LASEXTA XPLICA’where the statements of Jesús Robledo, a retiree and president of Ajucam were made especially popular. “The fight between young people and the elderly has been discussing for a long time and is totally absurd,” he began expressing.
“The problem is obviously from the future”
Robledo explains that, in the 80s, problems with pension were already raised: “45 years have passed and we continue to receive pensions. It is clear that the current price will not cover future pensions in any way, because there are more and more retirees and every time they are perceiving higher pensions,” he says, adding that “those who retire charge 2,000 euros or more 1,000 ”.
Despite this, he warns that “the problem is obviously of the future.” “Of people from 45 to 65, at this time there is a population of 18 or 19 million. In the year 50 they will be retired and although we have stretched the leg for a few, there will be many more pensioners”, while ensuring that “as much as the retirement age, one, two or three years” is delayed, is a “totally unpopular” measure.
As for the people who ‘attack’ pensioners, he also wanted to defend that these are also “consumers” and pay taxes, showing against those youtubers who say they will not have a pension. ”About this, he culminates that“ better or worse, all young people are sure that you will have a pension, the government is, ”he concluded, although he did not assure that the amount was updated in the same way.
