The National Organization of Retirees Affiliated with the National Retirement Fund (ONR-CNR) will hold its third general assembly on November 21 and 22. During a preparatory meeting held at the central headquarters in Algiers, the national office emphasized the importance of increasing pensions and announced an intensification of dialogue with members of parliament to defend retirees’ rights.
Presided over by Mrs. Fatiha Zohra Haribi, the meeting brought together all national secretaries. On the agenda were preparations for the third ordinary general assembly, as well as social and economic issues directly affecting retirees across the country.
Participants extensively discussed the current situation and reaffirmed the necessity of pension increases for 2025, considering this measure essential to preserving retirees’ purchasing power and dignity. They called on public authorities to address this demand, regarded as “legitimate and urgent,” amid the widespread rise in the cost of living.
The office also decided to strengthen exchanges with deputies of the National People’s Assembly (APN) to place retirees’ concerns at the center of parliamentary discussions, especially those related to social security and retirement legislation.
A work plan and schedule were approved to ensure the proper preparation of the general assembly. Activities will remain ongoing until all logistical and organizational aspects are finalized, the statement published after the meeting added.
The ONR-CNR praised the involvement of its regional representatives and recalled that unity and discipline are key to the success of the retirees’ movement. The organization stresses the importance of constant dialogue with institutions, within legal frameworks, to effectively defend its members’ rights.
Finally, it reaffirmed its commitment to continue its union and civic activities with determination, highlighting retirees’ place in society and their role in intergenerational solidarity. The ONR-CNR concluded its work with a strong message of commitment, responsibility, and patriotism, serving retirees and the national interest.
