All it takes is the president's signature to get his widow's pension into effect. The only task of the Left on which the coalitions had no objections, on 31 July the legislature adopted without amendment.
Sure, why make amendments if the task is populist, not common, but only for 2 million people, already privileged. In addition, it is based on a completely non-left approach to justice, where what you request to thin on is loss, not inequality.
In this optics the owner of the palace, who lost and had to decision to an apartment, will always be more injured than individual to whom the war took the cattle – the only host of the family. The heirs of the owner of the palace will recover it, and the owner of the cattle will only laugh.
The same is actual of widow’s pension. This can be seen peculiarly brightly after the destiny of the Association Act. Those who are privileged to marry besides have the privilege of widowing. The others are not the object of the legislator's interest at all.
Nevertheless, the Ministry of household and Labour has triumphantly proclaimed the good news: “Renta the widow accepted by the Senate! Good news for millions of seniors. shortly older people who have lost their spouses will be able to number on financial assistance."
The widower or widower will be able to collect at the same time a household pension and another pension benefits alternatively of, as at present, having to choose one. The second benefit will be paid:
– from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2026 of 15%,
– from 1 January 2027, 25%.
In that case, the financial impact of the entry into force of the solutions would be:
– in 2025 – from 3.2 billion to 4.2 billion PLN,
– in 2026 – from 6.7 billion to 9 billion PLN,
– in 2027 – from 11.9 billion to 15.8 billion PLN, depending on whether the entitlement would benefit 75 or 100 percent of its possible beneficiaries.
The task will be reviewed in 2028 and the benefit may increase to 50%. The amount of benefits is expected to be 3 times the minimum pension, which is presently PLN 5300 gross.
Pension for the privileged
Those who do not have matrimony privileges will not be able to number on aid – the task of the Left about partnerships is stuck. They will besides not be able to number on the aid of divorced couples, and it is worth reminding them that all 3rd matrimony is divorced. They will not be able to number on the aid of those who rise their own children, who are besides commonly affected by the problem non-alignmentSo their situation is even more difficult.
Organization Parents solo points out that the law giving the privilege of matrimony is incompatible with the constitution. In Article 32, specifically, on equality before the law and the prohibition of discrimination, Article 71 on the welfare of the household and on the peculiar care of families in difficulty, poor, poor, multi-children. besides in Article 2-A of the Act on the Social safety System, which speaks of equal treatment of all insured persons. In the meantime, although the pension is paid by everyone, the widow's pension will only be paid to widowers. Lonesome, though hard for them, will be their contributions to comfort those who have been happier in life.
What about single, unwitting seniors? The deputy household minister Sebastian Gajewski at the committee gathering admitted that they would be poor, and he would not even aid them with the MOPS due to the fact that it is very low.
Isn't that the promotion of a conservative household vision? I'm sorry, you didn't just gotta find a husband, or get divorced and "carry your cross," even if you drank and beat him, due to the fact that if we got divorced, the pension would be gone? Should a conservative society not stumble, not interfere, but disown each another and marry anyone who is of the other sex? To live a lie due to the fact that it pays more?
The president will most likely sign the draft – we remember how he pardoned the paedophile due to the fact that he was the only host of the family. Now we are to pardon earlier, alone, in our own conscience; not to study violence, but to hold our tongue and pray that he dies first.
I so uncertainty whether the adoption of the widow's pension task can be considered a success. More like the success of most coalitions. In 1 attempt, they supplied their own conservative electorate and showed that the Left could only be assertive to the degree that the Conservatives liked it.
If the Left sees how hard the coalition is, why does it not make a task that will be aimed at its own electorate, alternatively than conservative, will be refined and seeing the context?
Yes, older people are rising, and the demographic gap and the deficiency of ideas for better solutions than the replacement of generations will gotta face the threat of poorness among the oldest. Perhaps, then, we should consider a higher retirement age, a fairer taxation, a distribution of contributions in marriages where 1 individual does not work, a real repair of the wellness system, matrimony equality and partnerships, so that families can be based on any kind of relation and partners can support each other, housing projects that let older people to live together or closer together?
We know it's harder to change the strategy than to give individual a present, and the Left after a series of failures was thirsty for success. Here, however, in a bright way, those who, after that, even MOPS won't aid – will just be hungry.
