MADRID, 4 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Second Vice President and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, has detailed this Tuesday that the agreement reached within the government coalition on public accounts for next year includes, among other things, the deployment of a Family Law that will include new conciliation permits and the revaluation of pensions.
This has been explained by Yolanda Díaz in a thread on her official Twitter profile, collected by Europa Press, moments after an agreement between PSOE and United We Can was announced to bring the preliminary draft of the General State Budgets to the Council of Ministers on Tuesday ( PGE) for the year 2023.
Specifically, he explained that the agreement shows “the commitment” to urgently process a Family Law, with new conciliation permits: for caregivers, to attend to unforeseen family circumstances or a new eight-week parental leave.
In addition, the person who has the singing voice of United We Can within the Government has revealed that a child-rearing benefit of 100 euros per month will also be promoted for families with children under 0 to 3 years of age and, among other things, single-mother families will be assimilated , with two children, to the current category of large families.
In another order of things, Yolanda Díaz has also assured that pensions, whether contributory or not, will be increased so that they maintain their purchasing power against rising inflation. “Our elders have the right to live in peace in a convulsive context like the current one”, she has celebrated.
In terms of employment, the minister has indicated that 60% of the regulatory base will be recovered from six months of benefit, a measure that, according to calculations, will benefit some 300,000 people, “a great advance that will reach thousands of homes” .
On the other hand, 600 million euros will be allocated to a dependency shock plan with the aim of reducing waiting lists, implementing new benefits and services. Likewise, the IMV will increase in the same terms as pensions and the IPREM will stand at 600 euros per month from January 1, 2023.
Of course, in Yolanda Díaz’s comments on the details of this agreement reached this morning with the PSOE, the extension of maternity and paternity leave is not included, which was one of the demands of the minority partner of the Government.
Nor does he talk about the Housing Law, which was one of the claims that Yolanda Díaz influenced precisely last night to talk about the fact that the negotiations with the PSOE were stalled.
However, Díaz does speak of a deployment of the Government’s green agenda, consolidating the program for the renaturalization of cities and reinforcing low-emission zones, forest management and protection of the natural environment, with a boost to bike lanes .
On health issues, the minister refers to a reinforcement of the national system in three areas: primary care, mental health (increasing 67% of the budget) and oral health. She also mentions the agreement for the salary increase of civil servants and the increase in the items destined for equality policies.
These Budgets are, according to Yolanda Díaz, public accounts that “provide certainties, that bravely face the effect of inflation and that consolidate the social protection and the productive fabric that the Government is promoting.”
“The 2023 budgets have a very clear function and objective: to protect the purchasing power of Spanish families, their well-being. They are PGEs that speak to working people, to those who have a worse time. With bold measures and guarantees. With responsibility “, ditch.
