| Message | Mr Speaker If Mr. Duvalle had a company, would he hire 65 year old in favours of say 20, 25 year olds. The answer is no. 64 year olds have already worked for a very long time and deserve their rest. They don't have the same energy as those who are younger and will be generally less productive.This hike in retirement age is likely to increase unemployment for the youth and drive them into the arms of godless parties like the PPD or the FGCT.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, most 65 year olds today are fit and sharp enough to be valued employees. Moreover, their maturing and experiece brings many additional benefits with it. There is no reason why increasing our retirement age from 62 to 65 should bring about some kind of armageddon. This is only a modest, 3 year increase. On the other hand, raising the retirement age will help to reduce the impact of the demographic burden caused by people living longer and longer lives.

| Message | We will not support this along with such steep cuts in health and social services. It will lead to a socail disaster. We are however open to negotiations to the raising of the pensions level. Luiz Sastre, MP Political and Parliamentary leader of the DHD |
| Date | 13:38:52, March 29, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Retirement Age Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I can assure Luiz Sastre that the budget currently being voted on seems certain to be rejected by Parliament. Will this consideration affect whether his party will continue to oppose this Bill? Rafael Duvalle MP Chairman of the Dranish Conservative Party |
| Date | 00:49:33, March 31, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Hosian Democrats | To | Debating the Retirement Age Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I would like to assure the honourable Mr. Duvalle that if the spending cuts suggested to health and social services are mitigated, it would alter our opinion to a raising of the pension age. Ibid. |
