The delegate of the Government in Navarre regretted the non-validation, yesterday in the Congress of Deputies, of the Royal Decree-Law of the central executive that contemplated measures of a social nature such as the revaluation of pensions, the increase of the Minimum Vital Income or the extension of transport aid.
“Yesterday was a bad day for Spain, it was a bad day for Navarre and the Popular Party will have to explain it,” said Alicia Echeverría in statements to the media. “We will continue to work as we have done so far, seeking consensus, making useful policy, people-centred policy, and we will not leave pensioners, public transport users, or those who have suffered the effects of DANA lying down.”
The government delegate explained that the non-revaluation of pensions causes a loss of purchasing power of 597 euros in 2025 for the more than 133,000 retired people in the Foral Community. Likewise, each person benefiting from the Minimum Vital Income in Navarre will stop receiving 720 euros this year.
Likewise, people who use public transport will no longer benefit from the 5.6 million euros intended to reward transport in the Foral Community; as well as the more than 681 million aimed at gratuitousness and discounts of Renfe and state buses, and to improve the quality of public transport throughout the Peninsula.
“Yesterday was a bad day, but not for the government of Spain, but for the citizens of this country,” said Echeverría.
