Money for veterans: keeping an election promise? On 6 June, the day after the campaign began, Secretary of State for Veterans Affairs Marito Reis announced that the government would begin paying the pensions due to more than 27,000 veterans of the resistance and their families on 15 June. The decision … suggests that the government may have been using the advantages of incumbency to win over to CNRT a constituency which had been identified as crucial to the success of the partys campaign. Although legal in Timor-Leste, this is not in line with international best practice for democratic elections. -- European Union Observer Mission report on 2012 Parliamentary Elections

Money for veterans: keeping an election promise? The largest part of this years rectification is $27 million more for pensions for veterans of the liberation struggle, adding to $80 million allocated in the original 2012 budget. The proposed rectification doesnt give a good reason why this needs to be increased. We think that these warriors, genuine heroes of our independence, deserve attention from the state, but we worry when this rectification is used to pay for political party promises. Lao Hamutuk submission to Parliament on 2012 mid-year budget rectification

Veterans pensions: how much in future decades? The 2013 state budget allocates $92.5 million for benefits for veterans of the liberation struggle during 2013 and projects this to increase by exactly 4.00% each year in the future, which ignores inflation and the passage of generations. This years budget rectification included a huge increase in veterans benefits, and we are dubious that they will be reduced from now on. This is a large part of the budget, and Parliament deserves better information about how much it will cost the state over the next decades. Lao Hamutuks submission to Parliament on the 2013 Budget

Total cost in the future? According to an internal government report: Payments to veterans will continue until The estimated total cost is $2.8 billion, which could double if new veterans continue to register or the minimum wage goes up.

Reference case: $2.8 billion

Higher case: $7 billion Total petroleum wealth: $26 billion
