PSD points pensioners to “political hoax” in parliamentary assessment
The SDP justified the request for a parliamentary review of measures to support families by saying that it considers it a “political hoax” for pensioners, combined with a proposed law that would change pension increases in 2023.
In the text of the request for parliamentary scrutiny, which Lusa had access to, the SDP has not yet indicated whether it intends to change or repeal the decree-law establishing exceptional family support measures to mitigate the effects of inflation, which it can do before the parliamentary debate.
The government diploma, approved, promulgated and published on Monday evening, contains, among other things, the creation of an emergency support for owners of income and social benefits and the creation of an exceptional supplement for pensioners, with the government announcing that in the latter case, an additional amount equivalent to half board will be paid pensioners in October.
However, the PSD says the measures “are part of a broader package that overlaps” with others envisaged in a bill to be debated by Parliament on September 16 that, among other things, “establishes a transitional regime for pension increases.”
“As for pensioners, the intersection of the measures contained in the decree-law with the measures provided for in the proposed law constitutes a political hoax,” the party accuses.
The Social Democrats argue that if, on the one hand, the decree-law “assigns to pensioners, in October 2022, an extraordinary allowance equivalent to half the pension”, the proposed law “under the guise of adjusting pensions from January 1 December 2023, which in fact entails the loss in the future of the amount of the pension, taking into account the increase that was already provided for by law.
“With the help of the proposed law and under the illusion of offering a renewal of pensions (an increase from 3.53% to 4.43%, depending on the size of the pension), pensioners will not have an increase in 2023 and in subsequent years compared to what is provided for by law , which represents an inexorable future loss for retirees forever,” they warn.
For these reasons, the PSD justifies the need for parliamentary approval of the Decree-Law “Establish exceptional family support measures to mitigate the effects of inflation.”
Parliamentary expertise allows deputies to discuss, change and, in extreme cases, cancel the decree-law, diploma, administered by the Government and not voted in the Assembly of the Republic.
On Wednesday, the parliamentary scrutiny statement was already made by SDP President Luis Montenegro in an interview with the Hora da Verdade da Renascença program and the Público newspaper, in which he accuses the government of committing “a billion euro cut in the pension system” with the expectation of half board in October.
“The government gives in 2022 what it takes in 2023, evades the government’s obligation to help pensioners with additional income, gives zero,” he said.
The PSD President stated that “the billion euros that the government proposes to pay now will no longer be in the pension system from January 2023, with consequences for all subsequent years.”
The aim of the SDP is to have this request for consideration in Parliament discussed on September 15, the date the party has already scheduled discussion of its emergency social program, given that these are interrelated issues.
In the same interview, Montenegro says he is ready to help the government develop another solution for pensions.
“I don’t think they can do in the context of pensions what the government has proposed for active people,” he said, referring to a lump sum payment of 125 euros in October for all citizens who earn less than 2,700 Euro. euro gross per month.
Although the SDS decision provides for a monthly support of 40 euros until the end of the year (only 160 euros) for the lowest pensions, the SDS chairman acknowledges that it is possible to make a one-time payment.
“I do not exclude myself from adapting our proposal to the rationale for the entire decree, we do not want to change the decree from A to Z,” he said.

The dollar continues to reflect the political scenario
Yesterday, financial agents evaluated the opposite decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) regarding the so-called secret budget. In addition, a decision was made by STF Minister Gilmar Méndez to issue an injunction that would exclude the Bolsa Família from the spending cap rule, with investors trying to understand how this measure would affect the processing of the transitional PEC in the Chamber of Deputies. Oh this PEC!!!!
Since he is an exchange investor, any reading that the budget will be exceeded or become more flexible will negatively affect the exchange market, whether through the PEC or in any other way. We will continue with volatility today.
Looking beyond, the US Central Bank (Fed), although slowing down the pace of monetary tightening at its December meeting, issued a tougher-than-expected statement warning that its fight against inflation was not yet over, raising fears that rising US interest rates will push the world’s largest economy into recession.
The currency market continues to react to political news. The voting on the PEC is saved for today. It is expected that it will indeed be reviewed to open the way tomorrow for discussions on the 2023 budget.
For today on the calendar we will have an index of consumer confidence in the eurozone. Good luck and good luck in business!!

The EU has reached a political agreement on limiting gas prices – 19.12.2022
The agreement was approved by a supermajority at a ministerial meeting of member states in Brussels, Belgium, after months of discussions about the best way to contain the rise in natural gas prices in the bloc caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. .
The value set by the countries is well below the proposal made by the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, in November: 275 EUR/MWh. However, the countries leading the cap campaign were in favor of an even lower limit, around 100 EUR/MWh.
Germany, always wary of price controls, voted in favor of 180 euros, while Austria and the Netherlands, also skeptical of the cap, abstained. Hungary, the most pro-Russian country in the EU, voted against.
The instrument will enter into force on 15 February, but only if natural gas prices on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange exceed 180 euros/MWh for three consecutive days. In addition, the difference compared to a number of global benchmarks should be more than 35 euros.
Italy, the EU’s biggest supporter of the ceiling, has claimed responsibility for the measure. “This is a victory for Italy, which believed and worked for us to reach this agreement,” Environment and Energy Minister Gilberto Picetto tweeted.
“This is a victory for Italian and European citizens who demand energy security,” he added.
Currently, the gas price in Amsterdam is around 110 EUR/MWh, which is already a reflection of the agreement in Brussels – in August the figure even broke the barrier of 340 EUR/MWh.
However, Russia has already threatened to stop exports to countries that adhere to the ceiling. (ANSA).
