MPs are demanding a raise in retirement pensions from the military establishment

MPs in parliament demanded on Thursday 12 November 2026 that the Minister of Defence raise pensions for retired military personnel, as well as settle the file of soldiers sent to retirement for health reasons.

Deputy Siren called on the Defence Minister to intervene to increase pensions for military retirees, pointing out that the sums currently spent, ranging from 600 to 800 dinars, are no longer enough to cover basic costs. At the same time, the MP demanded that the absentee judgments issued on the right of students and graduates of vocational formation be reviewed in order to end the follow-up against them.

For his part, Deputy Shaker Buturi put forward the file of military personnel who have been terminated and sent to retirement for health reasons with a physical disability rate of 20%. Buturi called for an immediate withdrawal from the decision to cut the pensions of this category, stressing that the persons concerned had joined the armed forces and were in good health and it is neither legal nor humanitarian to deprive them of their financial rights due to their subsequent ill health.

The parliamentary demands included the issue of additional military grants; Deputy Shaker Buthuri called for full equality to be recognized in the awarding of the obligation between the various ranks and ranks of the military institution, and considered that the unification of these financial criteria promotes fairness among the institution's members both directly and when settling retirement situations.
