Boluarte Returns Teachers’ S/3,300 Pension Bill to Congress With Observations

Citing fiscal responsibility under Article 108, the president’s move forces lawmakers to revise the text or vote by insistence.

Overview

  • The Executive declined to promulgate the autógrafa within the 15-day window, sending the measure back to the plenary for reconsideration.
  • The bill, approved in a second vote with 66 votes in favor, would establish a S/3,300 minimum for pensions of retired and cesant teachers.
  • A Presidency document shared by journalist Fernando Llanos cites the duty to protect macroeconomic stability and medium-term fiscal sustainability.
  • Union leaders, including SUTEP’s Lucio Castro, argue the increase is a matter of justice given many retirees receive roughly S/400 to S/800.
  • Reporting indicates the proposal would cover about 162,000 teachers across regimes such as DL 19990 and 20530, the teaching career framework, and SPP affiliates.
