An unusual event occurred at the Constitución train terminal, when a retiree was being interviewed by a C5N mobile operator about the pension situation in the country. “We are like this,” said the older man, pointing his finger downwards. At that moment, a young man approached the camera and greeted his mother. The same individual added: “You have to work, don. If you put politics in the way, you will never have anything to eat. If you don’t get up and sweat, you will never have anything.” “Well, there is everything in life,” the retiree concluded.
The absurd television sequence, which was later replicated on social networks, especially due to the twenty-year-old’s impetuous advice to a retiree to go work in his retirement, recalls certain statements in the media by some supporters of the libertarian government. In an interview for the streaming platform Olga, Santi Maratea He criticized retirees who use the camera to complain about what they earn per month. “How much did he earn before and why did no one support that retiree?” highlighted the influencer and concluded: “There is an organization, precisely, that makes political use.”
In the cycle led by Nati Jota, Maratea denied the police repression against retirees in successive Wednesday marches. “Let’s not let ourselves be carried away by this discourse that wants to be installed that there is a sector that is very peaceful, that only thinks of the other and sometimes cries on camera, because all they want is for us all to be happy. In front, there are the bad ones, the sons of bitches, who only want to see the poor die, the old too, and for no one to study,” the thirty-year-old developed.
In October, the National Social Security Administration (ANSES) confirmed new amounts and the payment schedule for retirees and pensioners, after the application of the mobility increase and the continuity of the reinforcement bonus. According to the update linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), pension benefits increased by just 1.9% in the month. Added to this increase is a bonus of 70,000 pesos, which remains in force for those who receive the lowest income in the system.
With this questionable measure, the amounts are established as follows: a minimum Retirement would collect $326,304.88 (with bonus: $396,304.88); The Universal Pension for the Elderly would be $261,016.96 (with bonus: $331,016.96); Non-Contributory Pensions would be $228,381.85. (with bonus: $298,381.85) and the maximum Retirement would be around $2,195,498.72. The reinforcement of $70,000 is paid proportionally up to the limit of $396,304.88. Above that figure, the bonus does not apply.
The national government reported through the ANSES website that in November, retirements, pensions and allowances receive an increase of 3.47%. Retirements and pensions that do not exceed $322,798.48 will receive a proportional bonus until that amount is reached. Starting on the 8th, when payments begin, all allowances will have this increase, both minimum, medium and high. A figure well below expectations, taking into account the increase in prices in recent weeks.
