| Message | Mr. Speaker, The government opposes this measure. We have no evidence to suggest the current age is too low. Government data suggests the extra working hours beyond 55 can be progressively more difficult. Health problems begin to accelerate around that time as well. XXXX Javier Suarez Finance Minister, RR |
| Date | 23:31:46, September 08, 2014 CET | From | Conservative Monarchist Alliance | To | Debating the Retirement Age Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I remind the Presidium that our ageing population means pensions and healthcare are becoming progressively more expensive, so we need to ask people to work longer in order to afford these things. Mathis Weiman Economic Affairs spokesman |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, in times like these, where many companies are facing bankrupcy, it wouldn't be wise to pull up the retirement age with 10 years. Personally, we wouldn't change anything at this moment. Claire Dewitte Financial expert for LNC |
