Calendar of Provisional Measures impedes negotiations in Congress and government has not closed a single offer on changes
The government dropped to vote next month changes in retirement rules, as announced Minister of Social Welfare, Garibaldi Alves Filho. "There was the intention of the Mayor (Marcos Maia) to vote in August, but according to the timetable for interim measures was not possible to proceed in negotiations with Congress. So there is no predicting when it will be," he said on Wednesday Wednesday Secretary of Social Security Policies, Leonardo Rolim.
Despite the problem of timing quoted by the secretary, he also admitted that the Executive has not closed a single proposal about the changes. In Welfare, also have focused on the new measures the ministries of Finance and Planning. "The government has not reached a single study," he admitted.
The Secretary pointed out that, in the mold of today, the Brazilian social security system is very similar to the Greek, one of the fuses of the crisis in that country. Asked by reporters if Brazil could become the next Greece because of this similarity, Rolim just commented: "this is a point."
Rolim, as well as Minister of Pasta, Garibaldi Alves Filho, supports the lifting of the security factor. "People retire early, but with a brutal cut factor, which cuts 31% of the benefit. Can not imagine that it is possible people retire on average at 54 years. Nowhere in the world that sustains itself," argued .
The secretary continued his claim adding that young people retire but continue working in Brazil. "At that moment, is an additional income, so it takes a cut of 31% on average. For many people is greater than 50%. When he gets in he will live to old age benefit that has been greatly reduced," he said. "We recognize that the value of retirement is low due to the factor. He has an important role in financial stability, but in the sense of social security policy it is bad, because at the time the person most need it is low."
