In Panama City, trade union workers marched on Thursday afternoon to the National Assembly
00:05
to urge the lawmakers to repeal the proposed reforms to the social security fund.
00:11
Hundreds of protesters marched from the Parque Porras to the National Assembly to oppose
00:16
both the privatization of the pension funds and a potential rise in the retirement age.
00:23
As a result, nearby businesses, public transport and services faced some disruptions while
00:29
the police kept guard along marchers.
00:32
However, reports showcased a peaceful rally in which workers stood up for their labor
00:38
rights.
00:39
I now send a message to a member of the Economic Union about the matter.
00:53
We are demanding that lawmakers from the Legislative Assembly reject the draft Bill 163 as the
00:59
government is willing to lower pensions.
01:01
And we cannot allow so, thus, our current proposal.
01:05
What we are proposing is a return to the solidarity system.
01:08
This means, we do not accept miserable pensions, pensions that will harm the interests of workers
01:14
and the Panamanian people.
