At a media conference, Haxhiu has indicated that her proposal is dedicated especially to those who have worked and paid contributions before January 1999, but that due to the lack of several years, months or even days, they do not benefit the taxpayers’ pension.

She has stressed that it is about citizens with long work experience whose contributions are witnessed but that remain out of the current scheme due to legal criteria.

Someone misses a couple of years, someone’s a couple of months, but there’s also a few days missing. There are people who have a 44-year experience, Hadziu has declared.

According to her, these citizens should be treated fairly and receive pension in line with the contribution they have made during their working years.

He must receive a pension proportional to the contribution he has paid, she said.

Haxhiu has proposed that a new provision be added to the law, which would enable a proportional pension for those who fail to meet the terms of the two existing retirement categories.

WITH this proposal, existing schemes and the rights of those benefiting them are preserved. First, age-enhanced pension is maintained. Vocial pension payment is maintained for those fired from work as a result of violent measures. We propose the addition of the new article, where through it, there is the possibility of proportional retirement paid contributions, but they do not qualify according to the previous two provisions, it has stated.

Explaining how the proposal would function, the MP has set an illustrative example in which retirement would be calculated on the basis of years, months, and days of contributions witnessed.

If the full-blown pension of the respective category was 300 euros a month, that amount we divide by 15. The result is 20 euros of monthly retirement per year of contributions, Haxhiu has explained.

According to her example, a person with 14 years of contributions would benefit 280 euros per month, while the one with 14 years and six months would benefit 290 euros.

It has clarified that the amount of 300 euros is just an example and that real value would be determined depending on the pension in power and the period of contributions witnessed.

Haxhiu has insisted that months and working days be included, so that citizens who lack a very short period of legal criteria are not overlooked.

Because, if we’re aiming at providing solutions to citizens who lack only a few days to complete the required period, it must be considered every day of their contributions, she stressed.

By this initiative, according to Haxhiu, the opportunity would also be given to those who were earlier refused to retire because they failed to achieve the required criteria for just a few days.

In the end, the MP has called on parliamentary groups to support this proposal, praising that it aims to address an injustice to the citizens who have worked and contributed, but that so far have failed to obtain contributions.
