the table of Basque Parliament to the Senate, where the Compensation Fund for Asbestos Victims is approved (there will also be parliamentarians from EH Picture, PP and PSE-EE). The initiative was based on a presentation by the Chamber of Vitoria-Gasteiz.
This year, the fund will receive an initial allocation from the General Government Budget of €25 million and will serve to repair damage and loss of health as a result of a exposure to asbestos suffered by a person “in their work, domestic or environmental area in Spain, as well as those (…) who were economically dependent on the deceased”.
The fund will be managed by the National Social Security Institute and will include credits or transfers determined in the General State Budget, as well as other contributions, such as, for example, corporate sanctions.
Once published in the BOE, the text provides a maximum timeframe of three months for the development of the regulations necessary to initiate and launch the fund’s operations.

This law, which deepens the historic memorial law of 2007, was approved almost a year ago in the Council of Ministers and considered by Congress in October 2021, but two months later it was put on hold when the Spanish government government does not see enough support to continue it as opposition from the PP, Vox and Ciudadanos was accompanied by the initial rejection of ERC.
