The Partido Popular candidate for the Senate from Teruel, Emma Buj, has said that pensions must be kept out of partisan struggle and has called for a major State agreement that provides stability both for those who already receive a pension and for those who will retire in the coming years. In this context, she has emphasized that "Feijóo's project is the best guarantee for present and future pensions".
The "popular" leader has defended the need to recover the spirit of consensus of the Pacto de Toledo, so that decisions about the future of the public pension system have broad political and social support and have continuity over time.
In her speech, she has reiterated that "a person who is about to retire has the right to know what income they will be able to count on. And whoever already receives a pension needs to have the peace of mind that they will be able to keep covering their expenses if prices rise", stressing the importance of offering predictability and security to all pensioners.
Buj has reminded that Alberto Núñez Feijóo's electoral program includes the "commitment to update pensions every year in line with the CPI to preserve their purchasing power". This measure is accompanied, she added, by the will to restart dialogue in the Pacto de Toledo with the aim of agreeing on reforms that ensure the system's viability in the long term.
The candidate has linked these proposals to the province's demographic reality, noting that "Teruel is a province where many older people live and in many towns the pension is the main income of many residents; those who have worked all their lives in the countryside, in a small business, or in any other sector have the right to have their purchasing power protected", she said. "We are talking about being able to continue living in their home and facing, with peace of mind, the day-to-day expenses", she added.
According to Buj, for the Partido Popular "it is not only necessary" to ensure pensions for those who are already retired or close to retiring, but also to offer certainty to the new generations. In this regard, she has argued that "young people have to feel that the pension system is not a burden for them today and that the next generations will also have their rights secured".
For this reason, he has emphasized that the PP’s political project “will guarantee the sustainability of pensions,” insisting that the party is committed to a model that combines social protection and the system’s financial balance.
Visits by PP of Teruel to municipalities in the province
Within the election campaign, the Partido Popular de Teruel maintains an intense schedule of events in different municipalities. The candidate for the Senate and the rest of the contenders for the Congress and the Senate have visited towns in Bajo Aragón and the Jiloca to directly convey to residents the proposals with which the team led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo presents itself for the general elections.
The candidate for the Congress of Deputies, Alberto Herrero, and the candidate for the Senate, Carlos Boné, have held meetings with residents and supporters in various towns in Bajo Aragón, where they have detailed the measures that Feijóo is proposing and have listened to the concerns and demands of the attendees regarding the situation in their municipalities.
At the same time, the candidates for the Congress Raquel Clemente and Mario Latorre, together with the candidate for the Senate Celia Durbán, have toured various localities in the Jiloca. With these actions, the PP of Teruel reinforces a campaign focused on on-the-ground work, in which its candidates combine explaining the electoral program with direct and ongoing contact with the residents of the province.
