The Basque Parliament will not process the ILP that asks to equalise the minimum pension to the SMI
The Basque Parliament will not be processed by the Popular Legislative Initiative (ILP), which reacts to the equipación de las pensiones minimimas al Salario Mínimo Interprofesional (SMI), a initiative that deals with the response of more than 145 000 signatures.
El Consejo del Gobierno Vasco ha manifestado este Martes su
One of the main reasons for the positioning of the Basque Government is that the protection for pension perceptors is already integrated into the current system.
With this position, the Basque Parliament will take the lead in monitoring the initiative and in processing the consensus, already the groups that support the Government, the PNV and the PSE-EE, will have the majority to respond to this decision in the Chamber.
The ILP demands the creation of a Basque system complemento de pensiones que garantice que todos los pensionistas mayor de 60 años residentes y empadronados en Euskadi tenga una inresos minimimos equivalentes al 100% del SMI. En 2025 el salario mínimo fijado es de 1184 euros brutos repartidos en 14 pagas.
The Executive, which the ILP does not adjust to the current regulations or to the principles of sustainability, equity and coherence of the Basque model of social protection and that the proposal does not comply with the requirements established in the Regulation of the Basque Parliament in relation to the initiatives undertaken by the Basque Parliament.
EH Bildu considers that the establishment of the Basque Government is a "grave error" and "despondency" to all the people who have supported the ILP. Asymmetry, satisfaction that the political course has been initiated with "a mistake that contradicts that model of cooperative and participatory governance of which so much is spoken, but which at the time of truth is not practised".
Por su parte, el sindicato ELA ha calificado de "tomadura de pelo" los motivos de Gobierno Vasco para resistar la propuesta, entre ellos el que afirma que consequa "innecesaria" ante el actual Sistema Vasco de Garantía de Ingresos.
Your own model with dignified income
El Gobierno Vasco recalls that from 2008 Euskadi dispone de un modelo proprio de garantía de ingresos que asegura rentas minimas "dignas" y contempla medidas específicas para pensionistas.
La Ley de 2022 reforzó estas coberturas y situó las cuantías por encima de los umbrales de poza europeos, y reconocio a los pensionistas como colectivo priorititario.
The current system cuenta con medidas específicas, ya que prevé complementos del 40% sobre la cuantía base, reconoce unidades de convivencia excepcionales y realiza revisiones periódicas para garantizar la adecuación de las cuantías.
Actualmente, un pensionista individual puede alcanzar una renta maxima garantizada de 1080.82 euros mensuales, que augmenta en función del tamaño de la unidad de convivencia, hasta 1535.91 euros, ha recorder el vicelehendakari segundo y consejero de Economía, Trabajo y Empleo, Mikel Torres.
A su juicio, the current system evita duplicidades y desigualdades contrente a la propuesta de la ILP que plantea complementar las pensiones de forma individualizada, sin tener en cuenta los inresos de la unidad de convivencia, y podría introducir "desigualdades" respecto otros colectivos vulnerables, como personas con discapacidad o obrjadores con bajos inresos.
Además, the Basque Government, que, por la naturaleza de la medida, corresponde al ámbito estatal abordar mejoras generales de pensiones, ya que Euskadi can no legislate on complementary benefits linked to the state system of contributive pensions through a parallel system that breaks the coherence of its own (Basque) model of social protection.
