The reconstruction phase will soon begin, in which we have to be on the ground to prevent damage to one of the social systems that, although perfectible, works best in our country: the pension system.

There is no doubt that Spanish and European bodies are preparing documents with proposals on how to make up for the huge hole that the pandemic is causing in our economy. We have read opinions that speak of freezing and even cutting pensions. This reminds us of what happened in the 2008 crisis in Greece and Portugal, where their pensioners suffered a slash in their incomes, being the sector of the population that suffered the most in both countries.

We are aware that we will all have to make hard financial sacrifices, but as the cohort earia of the over-65s who are lethally suffering the hell of this pandemic, who by order of the Official State Gazette, or by their own responsibility, will continue to be subjected to de facto prolonged confinement. It would be cruel to subject it to a further penalty, this time a financial one.

We are outraged at how public resources are squanderedThe pandemic itself is being managed, as we have already denounced in the case of the centralisation of purchases and the apparent waste that has been produced. Shamelessly, unexplained or dispensable subsidies are given in these extraordinary circumstances, an overburdened public administration is increased with new official positions, foreign aid is given... We demand an immediate clean-up of the superfluous. in all public administrations.

Spanish pensioners will not accept reductions in our pensions until the privileges that some, such as politicians, have in this area, and which we have rejected on many occasions, are thoroughly cleaned up. Organisations representing the elderly are vigilant and have drawn a red line: leave pensions untouched.

Home confinement

Eduardo Rodríguez Rovira -- A question to the Second Vice-President

We do not know the exact numbers of people infected and dead in nursing homes, whether they are publicly or privately run. We have a general problem of transparency, as with the daily change in the official number of deaths due to the coronavirus, which is also lower than the real number in the nursing homes....

Authoritarian leaders, progressive leaders

Alexander the Great made a direct attack on the Persian leader, who fled in panic and his army dispersed, fragmented. Hernán Cortés with only five horsemen charged at Aztec Cihuacóatl, knocked him down with one thrust and the army dispersed. Tito, the marshal, went on to another life and Yugoslavia fragmented; Saddam...

José Antonio R. Piedrabuena -- The best recipe for getting old and ill
