In addition, deputy Oskar Matute assures that if the harmful elements of the “gag law” are not eliminated, they will not support the reform proposed by PSOE and United We Can.
The deputy of EH Bildu Oskar Matute has assured that the pension reform proposed by the central executive does not mean “regression” for workers and pensioners, but that “much more needs to be done” and “it needs to be refined to bring more rights and dignity to to take”.
In an interview with Radio Euskadi, the representative of the pro-sovereignty coalition referred to the pension reform proposed by the Spanish government and the criticism of it from employers.
In this sense, Matute believes that the reform is “regressive to the interests of the employer” in that “it does not constitute a setback compared to what exists, which is already overly strict on workers” following the increase in the calculation period or retirement age up to 67 years.
For example, it has emphasized that this reform does not represent an “even greater setback for workers or pensioners”, but has opted for “do much more“.
“60% of pensions do not exceed 1,000 euros and mechanisms must be activated to go much faster. It is necessary that progressiveness is built into pensions and that issues related to widow’s pension are included in the reform, something that it brings a certain disgrace, and non-contributory pensions that don’t even come close to 1,000 euros,” he explained. For this reason, he has called for “refining the law” to “include more rights and dignity”.
As for the Citizen Security Law, known to its opponents as ‘lhi gagEH Bildu’s representative has warned that if some elements such as the use of rubber balls or hot returns “don’t go away”, EH Bildu will not support the reform.
