What the petition asks
Instead of increasing the retirement age every two years it needs to stay at 60 years old to allow individuals to enjoy their retirement with the time that they have less
I feel like this petition will be a right movement to do. Some people are only being able to enjoy their retirement for a couple of years before sadly passing away. If this petition was successful it could allow grandparents to be able to enjoy their retirement without the worry of getting up for work giving them the free life to able to see family more and to maybe live their life to the last as no one knows what could happen tomorrow.
