The Toledo Pact on Wednesday approved by 36 votes against two its pension recommendations to the Spanish government to be implemented in the system reform, El Pais newspaper reported.
The Toledo Commission approved a report in which it is stated that raising the age for retirement is not needed, in contrast with the proposal from President Zapatero who insists in setting the retirement age at 67.
The document includes 21 points that can be implemented in Zapatero’s pension reform. The report will be now discussed in the Spanish Congress on January 25. However, some politicians believe that the government will not implement this recommendations as the bill will be presented on January 28 and it might have been written by this moment.
