• Pensiones Escrivá advances that the 'baby boomers' will have to choose between "a small adjustment" in their pension or "work something else"

  • The keys An agreement to rebalance pensions with transfers and punishment for early retirement

The pact that CEOE has reached with the unions and the Executive for the pension reform seems to Pablo Casado "a big mistake."

The president of the main opposition party believes that this agreement "goes against a successful pension reform approved by the PP in consensus with the members of the European Council" and that it was "fundamental for intergenerational solidarity and for transparency towards the pensioner".

This is what Casado has said before Antonio Garamendi, CEOE president, who has clashed in recent weeks with the PP for his support (later rectified) to the pardons to the leaders of the 'procés' and for this agreement to drastically change the reform of pensions approved by the 'popular' and whose axis was the "sustainability factor", now eliminated.

Well, the discrepancies continue.

During the Summer Course of the Association of Autonomous Workers (ATA), where the two met for the first time after the controversy, Casado harshly criticized the reform that Garamendi signed today in La Moncloa: take the hair ".

"What the government is doing is telling young people that they are not going to collect a pension and telling pensioners to vote for it and that when they have a problem of sustainability of pensions they will be frozen", once they have already voted for him.

"It's fine," he repeated once more.

Casado has argued that "Zapatero indexed pensions to the CPI and then froze them", while "the PP introduced a sustainability factor and raised pensions by 16% on average in his six years in office."

"All this reminds me a lot of 2010," he said.

"The paper supports everything, the patience of the Spanish does not."

Garamendi wanted to re-establish ties with the president of the PP and offered him "collaboration", before wishing him "the best" because "political alternation is good when it comes to play."

"He knows that we always have an attitude and a very important line of trust, that we will continue to have it as always," he added.

After that, Garamendi has expanded his congratulations by underlining the "key" role of the main opposition party.

And he has emphasized that the bosses work for "our country" with "independence, a sense of the State and institutional loyalty" and that it will continue in that direction, working in that line.

"Institutional loyalty is key," he stressed, before insisting once again to Casado that he have the "participation" and "collaboration" of the CEOE.
