No agreements. Ad hoc commission has more than S / 1,908 million to deliver as an advance of the total debt to the elderly, but state officials oppose it.
On Thursday, January 12, the ad hoc commission which is responsible for establishing how the money will be returned to the ex-contributors to the National Housing Fund (Fonavi) had its first session of the year, but far from reaching agreements on the benefits of the almost two million elderly people in a situation of vulnerability, a delaying action was evidenced by the officials representing the Executive.
The commission currently has more than S/1,908 million in its accounts that it can begin to return as an advance on the total debt to 1,200,000 people identified by their months of contributions. Said proposal was put to a vote in the last session, but the Executive voted en bloc and against.
The four votes are from three MEF officials and one from the ONP. They vote en bloc against the fonavistas.
Officials point out that the standards issued to date “They do not contemplate a partial payment or an advance of the Fonavi debt” as read in the minutes; However, for the Fonavistas, the laws do not prohibit it either, taking into account that advance payments were already authorized before, he explains. Jorge Millaleader of the National Federation of Fonavistas and Pensioners Association of Peru (FENAF) and member of the commission to La República.
It should be remembered that in the first days of the year, the head of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Alex Contreras, stated in Congress that the refund must begin with the money that the commission has, and that he would meet with the members of this group to find out what is needed, but according to the minutes, that meeting has not materialized due to the context of conflict in the country.
Waiting for the CT
The December 15, 2022, the hearing was held in the Constitutional Court (TC) where the Executive sustained its claim against the Congress of the Republic, for approving the contribution refund law. Specifically, the State seeks to replace only the contributions of the workers and not the employers, with which the debt is reduced abysmally. Although the ruling of the TC is expected to be made public in the coming weeks, the Fonavistas are preparing the counterattack.
“We are concerned because we believe that there is a whole political movement against (the members of the TC) to steal from the fonavista, that is why we have decided that if the TC violates the property right of the fonavista we are going to go to a supranational court”the leader specified. He added that if that were the case, the court would demand that the State pay around S/500,000 for each fonavista, which would affect the country’s economy and whose responsibility is in the hands of the magistrates.
