La ley para prejubilarse sin penalización con 40 años cotizados echa a andar en el Congreso

La mayoría de la investidura vota a favor de tramitar la propuesta de Podemos, que busca eliminar el castigo en la pensión a los que pierden su empleo y se ven obligados a prejubilarse

La ley para prejubilarse sin penalización con 40 años cotizados echa a andar en el Congreso

The Congress is considering a Podemos proposal to allow individuals with 40 or more years of contributions to retire without penalties in pension amount. This issue disproportionately affects those who started working early, only to be expelled from the labor market before reaching the legal retirement age, leading to prorated pension benefits.

Despite having contributed as long as some who began working later, these early entrants suffer a penalty in their retirement pay, which Podemos deems "unjust". The lower house has voted on Tuesday to initiate the legislative process for a bill from Podemos leader Ione Belarra's group aimed at rectifying this situation. Following the majority's favorable vote (178 in favor, 33 against by Vox and 136 abstentions from the PP), the project enters the amendment period, with limited chances of success due to the narrow margin of the remaining legislative term.
