The meeting was led by the president of the commission, deputy Rafael Castillo, who highlighted the importance of the regulations.\n\n\n
\n

\u201cWe believe that the Social Security Law is, without fear of being mistaken, the most important after the Constitution. A modification to this law could not be made without the consensus of all citizens,\u201d Castillo said in welcoming the attendees.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nDuring the public hearing, different voices agreed in pointing out the urgency of changes in the system. Jos\u00e9 Luis Rodr\u00edguez, from the Dominican Association of Teachers (ADP), assured that currently those who benefit the most are the fund administrators, while workers feel limitations in health services and access to pensions.\n\n\n

For her part, Yerlin G\u00f3mez, representative of the Bar Association, warned that increasing the retirement age is not a viable solution, as it would be \"denying workers their pension.\"\n\nAccording to G\u00f3mez, the real problem lies in the individual account model, which is insufficient to guarantee decent pensions.\n\nThe Bicameral Commission will continue with the process of public hearings in different regions of the country, with the aim of gathering proposals and reaching consensus on the changes to Law 87-01.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
