Democratic Rally criticizes government over pension reform delays

On October 13, 2026, the Democratic Rally (DISY) party issued a formal statement criticizing the government for its lack of planning and delayed legislative process regarding the upcoming pension reform. The party argued that the government’s last-minute amendments to the draft bill, introduced just before its formal submission, highlight an absence of comprehensive preparation and strategic foresight.

DISY stated that it had previously identified significant flaws in the initial proposal, many of which were confirmed through consultations with social partners. While the party welcomes these corrective measures, it emphasized that the government’s poor management should not come at the expense of proper parliamentary oversight. They urged the government to submit the final bill to Parliament as soon as possible, seeking the broadest possible consensus among all stakeholders.

The party reaffirmed its commitment to contributing responsibly to the legislative process to ensure the creation of a fair and sustainable system that provides dignified pensions for current and future generations. The government is expected to move forward with the submission, though the timeline remains subject to the necessity of further discussions with social partners to ensure the reforms are viable and accepted by the public.
