Royal Decree-Law 1/2023, which modifies the 50% bonus to social security contributions for a fixed amount of 262 euros per month, was approved without any vote against Congress, not even that of the PP deputy for Melilla, Fernando Gutiérrez Díaz de Otazu.
The Delegate of the Government, Sabrina Moh, in statements to the COPE Network, has pointed out the cynicism that the Melillense PP is showing with this issue, after the local President, Juan José Imbroda, has met with the CEME and SMEs and has assured them that it will repeal this Royal Decree-Law.
“The people have never argued against it because it should be remembered that Royal Decree-Law 1/2023 was approved without any vote against it and that means that the Deputy of Melilla did not position himself against where he had to do it, which was in the General Courts,” he said in reference to the Plenary of Convalidation that took place in Congress on January 24 of this year.
“If this modification was so bad and so harmful it was going to be for the city what the Deputy should have done for Melilla is to have raised the voice in the Congress of Deputies and to have opposed it,” he said. Therefore, he has apostilled that it seems to him “pure cynicism” that the popular now meet and “come to talk about how bad Royal Decree-Law 1/2023 is”.
Profit for many entrepreneurs
In any case, the Delegate of the Government has recalled that, with the new system of bonus to Social Security quotas that enters into force next September, all those entrepreneurs whose workers have a contribution quota of less than 1,800 euros per month will receive more money from the State than they are now receiving.
“All those entrepreneurs who pay less than 262 euros per month, are going to start receiving, from the month of September, more money from the State than they have been receiving so far,” he explained.
In addition, the rest of entrepreneurs are not going to lose a single euro, because the Government of Spain is going to reimburse everything that exceeds 262 euros until reaching 50%, through a subsidy, thanks to Royal Decree 660/2023.
