The Government saves the pension plan law by raising non-contributory pensions by 15%

The Government has agreed with EH-Bildu to increase non-contributory pensions by 15% and a guarantee to prevent the new public pension fund from being financed with Social Security funds in exchange for its abstention in the vote on the Promotion Bill of Pension Plans, which is being debated today in a parliamentary committee.

In this way, the norm will be debated and voted on in the plenary session of Congress thanks to the favorable support of the PSOE, United We Can, Citizens, PNV and the Mixed Group despite the contrary vote of the PP and the ERC.

This was announced by this formation through a statement, moments before the vote on this bill in the Labor, Inclusion, Social Security and Migration Commission of Congress.

This measure will be included in the new anti-crisis decree that the Government will approve shortly, and at least it will be extended until December 31, 2022, when it is the 2023 General State Budgets that must determine their revaluation.
