Social partners call pension systems overhaul unconstitutional

Pension reform introduced by the Polish government has been strongly criticised by the social partners, institutions and experts. The reforms are the most significant changes to the pension system since 1999, placing severe restrictions on private pension funds and redirecting a larger part of their contributions to the state’s Social Insurance Institution.

The social partners argue that this is a shortsighted attempt to reduce public debt and rescue public finances.
