00:00Panama's National Assembly will resume the second debate of the bill that seeks to amend
00:05the organic law of the Social Security Fund.
00:08The bills also contemplate the allocation of special funds under the pretext of paying
00:12the pensions for the month of February.
00:15The Panamanian workers warned that with the approval of these projects, the resources
00:19of the insurance fund will be handed over to the banks and the pensions administrators.
00:26The General Secretary of the Construction Workers, RaĂșl MĂ©ndez, said that the bill
00:29intends to approve the initiative promoted by the government, in spite of being rejected
00:34by several organizations and unions.
00:48Today is February the 10th.
00:51The information that we have is that the Assembly intends to declare itself in permanent session.
00:56Dana Castaneda, the RM representatives, Vamos and others, intend to take this discussion
01:01with flying colors, a real coup against the people.
01:05They intend, as we have already said, to declare a permanent session, not allowing any room
01:10for debate, to prevent society from addressing this issue in the second debate, to impose
01:15their will, to steal the money from the insurance fund and give it to the banks, to the private
01:20pension funds' administrators, to increase the retirement age, to lower the pension to
01:2540% and less, that is to say, it is the robbery of the century.
01:29We cannot allow that to happen.
01:31We must declare a state of alert all the workers of the country and the Panamanian people to
01:36face this robbery.
