CGTP: 'Do not count on us' if the Social Security debate is biased
The CGTP trade union federation has expressed willingness to discuss the future of the Social Security system, provided the debate is not 'biased' towards privatization. The government has stated it does not intend to pursue structural reform this legislative term, characterizing the report from its working group—which suggests options like automatic-enrollment professional pension plans—merely as a contribution to public debate.
Why it mattersWhile the government has ruled out structural changes for now, debates around Social Security and potential pension reforms are ongoing; this highlights the union's stance against shifts toward private pension funds or cuts to the public system.
