Most parliamentary groups view the new model as “positive” based on real income, but are charged with the text reaching Congress closed and without the ability to contribute
Social Security Minister José Luis Escrivá wants to avoid at all costs a vote in Congress on the reform of the premium system for the self-employed. He does not want to repeat what happened to the last laws he brought to parliament: the labor reform – in which he also took part despite the weight carried by the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz – was approved by a wrong vote of the PP, while the pension reform and the new pension law were about to be rejected and not exempt from multiple criticisms.
That is why this time he learned his lesson and went to the Toledo Pact committee this Thursday to propose the new real income premium model, just one day after reaching the agreement with the social actors and even before the next was approved Tuesday in the council of ministers, with a detailed description of what the new norm will be and a smile that betrayed his intention to make peace.
And it turned out. Most political parties appreciated this gesture and endorsed the new progressive quota model that will ensure that half of the more than 3.3 million self-employed will pay less to Social Security, allowing them to save nearly 1.1.30 annually. realize. euros. So, given what they have stated in their reply, Escrivá will face a pleasant procedure after the summer in which, except for surprise, it will not be supported by a majority of the House.
But all was not well for the minister and the reform he proposed. Escrivá also received much criticism for the ‘modus operandi’; that is, for bringing to Congress a closed text of the law, in which no contributions can be made, and which, in addition, will be processed by royal decree, something that causes controversy, as it is allegedly not urgent.
