The Basque Government yesterday accused the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa of breaking the Basque System of Income Security "and enter" a clear element of territorial imbalance "to approve a new social assistance will go to people in poverty who do not meet the minimum requirements to collect the basic income. Thus, the Department of Employment and Social Affairs, directed by Gemma Zabaleta (PSE-EE), attacked a bill passed by his own party in Gipuzkoa, since the creation of this provision against social exclusion is for a term of General Meetings supported by PNV, EA, EB, Aralar and 16 members of Parliament Socialist Group in the planning.
The new financial aid benefit mainly to immigrant families, offering a monthly salary (512 euros) to citizens, not to take a year registered in Gipuzkoa, are not covered by grant income guarantee (or basic income). The pay will also be young people protected by the council to come of age.
statutory Department of Social Policy to distribute this grant will begin in September. In this way, meets a requirement adopted in plenary by the territorial Parliament on 31 January 2008: "The General Meetings Gipuzkoa call on the County Council to establish an allowance intended for the social integration of those who do not qualify for the perception of basic income, as in the other provinces. "Thus, General Budget of Gipuzkoa in 2009-whose approval was prompted by the abstention of the PSE-EE, also have a game of one million euros to "create a new benefit for people who do not qualify for the receipt of income basic. "
CONTRADICTION This initiative, promoted by Aralar, won the approval of all junteros groups, except CP, whose six members abstained. Social support, therefore, was widely supported by the Regional Parliament, including the Socialist Group. Yesterday, however, the Basque Government fell into the incongruity publicly contradicting his party's position in Gipuzkoa to submit a statement decrying the citizens residing in this territory are entitled to this benefit. The department heads Gemma Zabaleta, also expressed doubts about the scope of the regulatory power that has the statutory body on this issue.
In this sense, he considered that by adopting this decision as "unilateral," the council "is distinguished from the Income Security Act and Social Inclusion ", in force since 31 December," with the aggravating circumstance that the same has occurred in a theoretical context of collaboration and coordination in the field of the Interinstitutional Commission for Social Inclusion, tripartite (Government, provincial and municipal). "
Therefore, condemned" the procedure and timing "of the passage of this measure, which moved to the mentioned report Interinstitutional Commission at its meeting scheduled to take place on 7 September.
The regional government insisted also that the measure generates inequalities: "We can not discriminate again citizenship according to the territory affected the living. "In his opinion, in any case, having political consensus in this Committee," the right thing would be to propose the changes in the law so that affected the whole of the three territories.
The PSE-EE of Gipuzkoa, meanwhile, declined to comment on criticism by his party from Lakua, while expressing its intention to address today the issue
