Mexico.- Ricardo Salinas Pliego, owner of Grupo Salinas and one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in the country, considered that employers should not contribute to the pension of their workers and that they are solely responsible for saving for their future; In addition, the controversial owner of Televisión Azteca considered that it is “ignorant” who want the state to take over the pensions.
In a text called “Your Pension Is Not Free”, an opinion of Salinas Pliego hosted on his blog, the Regiomontano entrepreneur again raised a thesis contrary to the policy on the national retirement system proposed by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on July 22, with the support of the largest labor union (the CTM, which belongs to the PRI) and the Business Coordinating Council (CCE) , the most influential group of private initiative.

“Your pension is not free, it is the right benefit you reap today as a result of decades of effort. It is the PRESENT use of what you have saved in the past,” wrote the also owner of the Elektra store chain on his blog, from where he has attacked virtually every approach of the AMLO government, including pandemic management and the call of health authorities to keep a healthy distance and, as far as possible , work from home.
He also stated that the employer should not contribute to his workers’ pension “because in reality the employer has no incentive to guarantee him a decent pension, especially in this world with enormous job mobility.”
