Euskaraz irakurri: Pentsioen erreforma aurrera atera da Kongresuan, gehiengo zabal baten babesarekin
The Plenary of Congress of Deputies of Spain has validated this Thursday the decree law that includes the reform of the pension system with the support of a large majority. Specifically, the PSOE, Unidas Podemos, Esquerra Republicana (ERC), PNV, PDeCAT, Coalición Canaria, Compromís, PRC, Teruel Existe and Más País have voted in favor, while EH Bildu, Junts and Vox have abstained and PP, Ciudadanos , Foro Asturias, the CUP and BNG have voted against. In total, 179 votes in favor, 104 against, and 61 abstentions.
Once the decree has been validated, it has also been approved to process the reform as a bill and thus allow parliamentary groups to negotiate new modifications to the text.
The pension reform reached Congress with the approval of the European Commission and also of the unions. In an initial intervention in the Lower House, the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations, Jose Luis Escrivahas defended what is the second leg of the pension reform, which in his opinion “allows us to address the demographic challenge” through a “set of balanced measures” that will guarantee “the adequacy” of the system.
This new system, which It would enter into force on April 1. Except for certain provisions thereof, it contemplates increases in maximum bases and contributions, improvements in minimum pensions and the establishment of a dual model to calculate the pension, which will give the option to choose between the last 25 years of contributions or 29 years, ruling out in this worst two case.
In addition, with the new reform, the mutual collaborators of the Social Security will no longer have the possibility of contacting the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) in the event that the public health service rejects their registration proposal.
