The FGS was created by Decree 897/2007, and by law 26,425 promulgated on 12/4/2008, which in its first article provides for the unification of the Integrated System of Retirement and Pensions in a single public pension regime called the Argentine Integrated Pension System (SIPA) ). The regulatory provisions established that the total funds administered by the AFJPs will be transferred in kind to the SIPA's Sustainability Guarantee Fund. The FGS, administered by ANSES, assumed the ownership of shares in 44 companies in which the AFJPs had invested. The FGS is a fund to intervene in circumstantial contingencies economic activities that affect the payment of the assets of current and future retirees, with budgetary replenishment and safeguarding of their assets and investments.
The Government's agreements with the IMF for the use of the FGS with other objectives, was already established in the Law of Historical Reparation, determining that the payment of the benefits established there may be met with the investments made by the FGS. In the agreement with the IMF, progress is made in the defunding, with the sale of shares and their use for pension payments. National Treasury Bills were acquired for $ 16,000 million. The sale of the resources of the FGS and the de-financing of the Pension System, are inserted in a broader process of integral reform of the pension regime established by law, with the constitution of the Pension Sustainability Council, chaired by the Minister of Labor and Social Security, which is in charge of preparing it to present to a Bicameral Commission of the National Congress and should be ready in 2019.
As we have been warning about the objectives of the IMF in Argentina and in the world so that the pension system, public, of distribution, assisted is privatized, today more than ever and by the current and future retirees, a broad unit of action is essential to install the debate in the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation of our bills to ensure these FIVE BASIC POINTS:
l) Minimum Retirement not lower than the Minimum Wage and Mobile Salary, and this is not inferior to the basket basic total, which today exceeds $ 20,000.
ll) 82% mobile on the salary of the active worker in his / her own position, office or function and the recomposition of having according to the work history of each worker at all scales.
III) Creation of the National Social Welfare Institute as an entity of non-state public law, administered by representatives of active workers, retired people and participation of the State.
IV) Normalization of the INSSJP (PAMI), ending the intervention.
V) Housing in commodatum for retirees and pensioners.
As we pronounce for the annulment of the antiterrorist law, we are against the decree that assigns a role in internal security to the Armed Forces and against all forms of State repression to the mobilizations and organizations of the popular movement.
Across the country, the people on the street have mostly given their verdict for a legal, safe and free abortion (ending the clandestinity and death of women) for equality against machismo and gender violence, which are part of the exploitative essence of the capitalist system.
