An economic analyst's incendiary view on why pensions will become increasingly lower.

On ' Todo es Mentira ' (Everything is a Lie) (Cuatro), they addressed one of the day's topics: the delay in retirement for young people, who would be unable to stop working until they were 71 to maintain their standard of living. To discuss the news, they brought in an economic analyst, Jose Antonio Herce , who surprised everyone by giving his perspective on the impending situation.

Herce wanted to put this into context, where the maximum gross monthly salary is 3,250 euros, with 14 payments, and an average pension of between 1,500 and 1,600 euros.

When the presenter asked if they would receive a pension in the future and how much, he spoke loud and clear: "They're going to receive a pension, of course they will, but they won't retire under the same conditions as their parents." He added that while today someone in the general workers' scheme typically earns around €1,800, "their child will earn around €1,400." He also wanted to make it clear that, in his opinion, "it's fake news, a complete lie, that people under 30 are being prevented from entering the labor market, a lie!"

Regarding why pensions are getting worse, it was here that he shared a somewhat inflammatory view that surprised those present. Herce stated the following: "If they are worse, it's not because the system wants it that way; it's because they can't possibly be good because jobs are getting worse. Training is terrible, and anyone who criticizes employers is encouraged to become entrepreneurs and see what they think of what they're dealing with." He added that "if healthcare were as bad as education, we'd all be dead!"

Emilio Delgado, from Más Madrid , was on set and was shocked to hear this and didn't remain silent. He told him that "the problem is that it's easier to invest in sectors where it's easier to exploit workers, and I'm not saying this, it's a report from a well-known bank that has also just been released."

Another of the panelists, Ana Vázquez, a PP MP , also spoke. In her case, she mentioned that her mother "paid self-employed contributions and has a low pension." The economic analyst told her that " self-employed pensions are low if you paid few contributions. These are always proportional to what you contributed, to the salary you paid in. If you contribute few contributions and for only a few years, then the bases go down," she concluded.
