It will be included in the new anti-crisis decree that will be approved before the end of the month and will mean 60 to 100 euros more per month for widows, orphans and the disabled, according to the Ebertzel formation.

Non-contributory pension, that is, for widowhood, orphanage or disability, their amount will increase by 15% from next July till the end of the year, according to the agreement reached today between the EH Bildu Parliamentary Group and the Minister. finance. Social Security, Jose Luis Escrive. The increase, as explained by the Ebertzel formation, would be included in a new anti-crisis decree that the government would have to approve to expand planned measures to counter the economic consequences of the war in Ukraine.

Although the government is only considering a new decree that will last until the end of September, Escrive has agreed with the Ebertzel party to include this increase in its gradual expansion, as long as the CPI in the general budget said. Revaluation of pension is not considered. of the state which the government considers approved for the year 2023.

In this way, the Minister of Social Security reaffirms the executive’s belief that its measures to combat the increased inflation caused by the war in Ukraine should be extended over time, in any case beyond three months. Extras that are now being considered.

In return for this commitment, EH Buildu’s five deputies have decided to abstain from the vote, which gives the green light to Congress’ processing of a bill governing public pension plans and funding.

The Ebertzel Formation calculated that thanks to this treaty, the minimum pension would be increased to an amount between 60 and 100 euros per month. EH Buildau had already filed this suit last April in an effort to broaden the government’s measures to deal with the economic fallout caused by the war. It was not accepted at the time, but now the executive is faced with the possibility that its extension decree, which does not gain the approval of Congress, has chosen to accede to it and thus ensure national support.

The decree of the government’s anti-crisis measures was validated in Congress by a very tight margin as the votes against the PP, Vox and Ciudadanos included the ERC, JXCAT and CUP.

EH Buildau also assured that its agreement with the government included a commitment that “not a single euro from Social Security” would be allocated to future pension funds. In this way, he insisted, “the capitalization of Social Security would be avoided and public pensions and their stability would be saved.” Nationalists emphasize that such attempts by right-wing parties to use the law governing public pension schemes and funds “to introduce and expand private funds by way of benefits to those who do not care for them”. can pay” has been “interrupted”.
