Quintacolumnista

He could not believe it when it was sailing along the Public newspaper in Internet, he was thinking that he was a sensationalist holder, when I read the news, the puzzlement transformed in anger.

The holder was saying the following thing: Fidalgo: "To delay the retirement is of common sense". Tremendous, truth. But it is much more tremendous what the ex-General Secretary of CC.OO affirms. According to Fidalgo the proposal of the Government is "motivated" and considers that to press against the solution of a problem "that sees the whole world", as they are going to do the trade unions, "will not be well seen". Fidalgo must think that his kingdom is already not of this world and that therefore that one 80 % of the citizenship that is against of the increase of the age of the retirement or they do not exist or do not count because they do not have the knowledge that gives having been for eight years the General Secretary of the first trade union of the country.

For Fidalgo to lengthen the period of calculation of the pensions beyond the current 15 years would have a "minimal" impact on the expectation of the pensions. "There is going to be a progressive tendency to extend the calculation base to the whole labor life", he says. Skylight that the management one, the banking, the insurers and the political right of the country agree with this position, which the pensions degrade every day a little more so that this way the already scarce familiar saving has to be invested in pensions deprived to be able to guarantee worthy minim pension, but this must not be the position of a trade union one. The position of a trade union one must be that of proposing and defending alternatives that allow to support and increase the rights of the workpeople and not justify the positions of those who try to degrade the already degraded labor situation of the most disadvantaged.

And alternatives they are ahílas, what it must spend is that Fidalgo already does not read even the documents and proposals that there prepares the secretary of Social security and Complementary Social Forecast of her own trade union or does not listen even to the opinions of the person in charge of this secretariat, Carlo Bravo, and that I reproduce next:

“The proposal that the Government has sent the Commission of the Agreement of Toledo and to the table of social dialogue of delaying the legal retirement age it is provided with the unequivocal CC.OO rejection. The retirement middle age has being late in an effective way, reaching 63,8 years in the set of the system and the 63,2 in the General Diet, coming closer to and give legally of access to the retirement at the age of 65. C C OO, which takes many years studying the evolution of the public system of pensions, he believes that there exist measurements and margin of performance adapted to keep on advancing in this approach, of an effective and voluntary way, reinforcing and increasing the incentives today existing so that those persons who wish it or need to delay the retirement age. For it, we push the proposal of the Government back across imperative measurements of delay of the legal age of retirement up to 67 years”

I hope that this alone should be a personal opinion of Fidalgo and that the rest of his partners of candidacy should feel compromised with the interests of the workpeople and should defend without fissures the official position of the trade union that is not different that to fight for a worthy retirement for all the workers.

So much the pitcher goes to the source of FAES that ends up by breaking.

Health, Republic and Socialism.
