The Spanish Government expresses its readiness to seek solutions for Tubos Reunidos

In statements to the Congress, the Minister of the Economy, Carlos Cuerpo, has assured us that the Government has the "outstretched hand" to seek measures to promote the viability of companies in strategic sectors. In response to a question from EH Bildu, the Minister has said that he has previously received aid of "EUR 112 million through the Solvency Support Fund, more than EUR 20 million from eight financial institutions, thanks to the ICO guarantee line, and almost EUR 10 million from the electrointensive industry."

The Spanish Government approves a package of measures to protect customers of electric companies, including banning commercial calls

The new Royal Decree, promoted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, provides that electrodependents and vulnerable persons may not be suspended from electricity even if they do not pay, and suspension of contracts shall not generally be punishable.  Penalties are also provided for companies for violations of the rules.

The Council of Ministers has approved, in a single decree, the increase in pensions by 2026

Contributory pensions will be increased by 2.7 per cent, the minimum pensions will be increased by more than 7 per cent, and widows' pensions with family burdens, non-contributory pensions and the Minimum Living Income will be increased by 11.4 per cent. These increases have been reflected in a Royal Decree-Law that has finally dissociated itself from the so-called "social shield" to be approved in Congress and guaranteed the purchasing power of pensioners.
