In the ongoing debate regarding the rising costs of pensions, a portrayal of pensioners is emerging that is both unfair and counterproductive. This depiction unfairly attributes economic imbalances to pensioners, overlooking the deeper demographic, institutional, and productive causes that are unrelated to the individual decisions of those receiving pensions.
Such a narrative is counterproductive as it hampers the renewal of the social contract between generations. As Spain faces significant demographic changes, it is more crucial than ever to reach new collective agreements.
