The League warns on pensions: 'Windows cannot be touched'. Durigon insists on quota 41

'I believe that it is not time to raise this threshold and the exit lines described by the Fornero law'. This was said by Labour Undersecretary Claudio Durigon regarding the rumours of the last few hours that aired the possibility of bringing from 3 to 6-7 months the exit windows for those who retire early with 42 years and 10 months of contributions. Durigon returned to support the possibility of launching quota 41 but with a contributory recalculation. 'It is a plausible theme but any type of flexibility to be sustainable must interact with the contribution system'. These are the stakes that the League puts on the social security front in view of the negotiations that have already opened in the majority on the 2025 manoeuvre.

"In 2019 we have the first Quota 100 where we did the blocking of this pension increase of the Fornero law that went to 43 years and 5 months. I do not know if there is someone in the Ragioneria who is always trying to find the numbers and then raise this threshold, but I believe that objectively it is not time to increase this threshold and these limits of the Fornero law, that is and that must somehow remain,' the undersecretary of Labour and exponent of the League pressed. Speaking afterwards by telephone to ANSA, Durigon clarified: "We do not touch the windows".

"Quota 41 is an issue that I think is plausible at the moment, but we have to think about flexibility and each type of flexibility for its sustainability must unfortunately interact with the contribution system," Durigon explained further. 'We would like to seek a reform that is sustainable but at the same time gives the possibility of choice,' he added. The member of the League then confirmed that if Quota 41 were to be reached, however, there would be a recalculation: 'Eh per forza,' he said.

"Young people is an issue that we have to get to grips with. We know that the contribution-based system from '96 onwards is prevalent, so giving strength and legs to complementary pension provision, investing in it, giving it a force that can also be used to reach pension levels, is certainly a theme that goes towards young people," Durigon said. On the hypothesis of a mandatory allocation of part of the severance pay, 'there is an ongoing debate,' he added. Asked then about the possible confirmation of Opzione donna, Durigon said 'with the rule made in 2023 it can be renewed, but it is something we are discussing'. As for the social Ape, 'it should be evaluated, but in my opinion it is a rule that must remain'.
