With the proposal of the European Commission to delay the age of retirement to the 70 years, the voices are already too many authorized, independent of “interested�, those that demand a reform of the system of pensions. In addition, they are requesting his application of immediate way and not to gradually have to do it in front of traumatic form more.

One of the possible measures to take is that the system is based more on the contributividad, which would be translated in quoting more and receiving less to avoid the bankruptcy of the system, affected by the present crisis.

Before this situation noncreated by the pensioners and less still by those than we have the penalized pension, but that can get to affect us to all, we must be realistic.

We must remember first of all that the age of official retirement (65 years) was established in Germany by Bon Bismark, before 1890 (for more than 120 years), because this one was the life expectancy of the Germans then, and since then has not varied. The equivalent for our days, would be the 80 years approximately.

They are mistaken, and how, who think that it is not necessary to touch the Spanish system of pensions because she enjoys good health and she even has a Reserve fund of about 60,000 million Euros, amount that to more than one (politician, banker or unionist) she contemplates when it do the chiribitas eyes to him. On this number there would be much to speak and long ago and well in the page Web of Jubiladosbp.com.

A form to improve apparently the good health of the Reserve fund would be applying the “separation of sources�, that removes every year of the Bottom around 4,000 million Euros and that if it had been applied since the Law was promulgated, the Bottom would count at the moment with about 40,000 million Euros more.

This apparent good health of the Bottom is based on a great injustice committed with and suffered by the prepensioners, group made up of 1.400.000 pensioners approximately, from whose penalty of the pensions the Social Security obtains about 8,000 million annual Euros.

This amount must be restituted its legitimate proprietors, the prepensioners, of whose contributividad nobody speech, repairing the injustice to that they are put under, before considering the intensity of the measures to take to save to the system.
