Mikel Torres believes Sanchez is willing to overcome obstacles in transfers managed by the Díaz Ministry
According to the Vice-President and Counsellor for Economy, Labour and Employment, the current management of the Ministry of Labour has a number of challenges ahead of it, but he believes that the agreements reached yesterday in the Bilateral Commission "openimportant doors"for the future.
The Vice-President and Counsellor for Economy, Labour and Employment, Mikel Torres, has acknowledged in the recentBilateral Commission that the expected results have not been achieved and has attributed this responsibility to the Ministry of Labour headed by Yolanda Díaz, although he has confirmed the willingness of the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, to make progress on these outstanding issues.
In a presentation in Bilbao, Torres made a positive assessment of yesterday's meeting, at which the Government and the Spanish Government agreed to transfer the Maritime Rescue and the transfer to the ACV of the facilities of the Machinery Verification Centre.
They also made progress in the transfer of Social Security. The two governments agreed on four non-contributory benefits (three family benefits and special birth allowance), as well as the management of school insurance financial benefits.
Although these agreements have served to open the door, the objective has not been fully achieved, since the Government believes that the management of unemployment benefits and the possibility of managing aid received when unemployment is exhausted have been suspended.
In view of this, Torres has highlighted the cooperation between the two governments and has been optimisticthat yesterday's agreement opens an "important door" to outstanding transfers in the field of social security.
Thus, he reports that the Bilateral Commission will meet again in the last quarter of the year and that negotiations will continue during this period. He adds that misgivings do not come especially from the PSOE Government and that the Ministry of Labour has previously expressed the obstacles to overcome.
In the same vein, in front of the microphones of Radio Euskadi the delegate of the Spanish Government in the Basque Country, Marisol Garmendia, has stressed the "will" of its president, Pedro Sánchez, to move forward in self-government and has said that Sumar is "doing his homework" and that negotiations to comply with the agreements will be intensified in the following months.
