"The request was accepted by the Minister of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security, who highlighted Ana Margarida Magalhães Vasques' zeal and commitment in carrying out her duties, and this decision has already been communicated to the interested party", the Ministry of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security (MTSSS) announced today in a statement.
Ana Vasques "will continue to carry out her duties until she is effectively replaced", the MTSSS statement also says.
The president of the ISS, Ana Vasques, today submitted her resignation to minister Maria do Rosário Ramalho because she believes that the current government has shown a "lack of confidence", following the issue of the withholding of IRS from pensions.
In the letter sent to minister Maria do Rosário Ramalho, which Lusa had access to, the president of the Social Security Institute states that she made the decision to resign after the "public position taken by the government regarding the adjustments to the withholding of IRS at source from pensions paid by the ISS in April and May".
"Expressing surprise and 'astonishment' regarding this decision and in this regard pointing out the omission of this subject in the meeting on 22 April, between the ISS board of directors, Your Excellency and the Secretary of State for Social Security, objectively constitute a demonstration of a lack of confidence by the government in the president of the ISS board of directors", the letter reads.
This issue with pensions arose after the Jornal de Negócios reported the case of pensioners who were faced with a reduction in the net value of their pension paid in May, without the receipt providing an explanation for this fact -- since the gross value of the pension remained the same, as did the tax withholding rate, but not the amount of the discount.
Subsequently, the Social Security Institute clarified that adjustments were made to the withholding of IRS from the April and May pensions of 328 thousand pensioners, to correct the withholding made in January based on a "provisional" table.
