| Message | We must not force people to work until they're 70 years old, leaving them almost no time to enjoy their retirement. |

| Message | An official retirement age means that they have to work until that age before they can get full pension and retirement benefits, so indirectly you do force them to work until that age (especially those with lower incomes). |
| Date | 10:55:20, August 04, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Increase in Retirement Age |
| Message | The cost on the country of having 65 as the official retirement age is not enormous. Just look at the regional statistics, there's no even the slightest sign of ageing. |
