Escrivá wants to "bring civil servants closer" to the private sector so that they can retire earlier or work beyond the legal age. "Surely we are going to agree on a more flexible frame of reference and with more opportunities to decide how one exits the labor market, also for civil servants," he said.

He added that he has "no doubt" that these points will be agreed upon "this year," according to EFE. The Ministry of Public Function itself confirms that the modifications to pensions will be addressed in the usual frameworks of social dialogue for public employees.
