The Basque government yesterday tried to tone down their criticism to new economic aid to families with no income in Gipuzkoa launched by the council. "Differences should not be understood as an institutional conflict," said the Minister of Employment and Social Affairs, Gemma Zabaleta (PSE). Of course, the head of the department maintained its disagreement with the creation of those benefits that "distance themselves" from the Basque Law Minimum Income Guarantee, adopted six months ago to avoid "that would spread benefits and aid 'and save inequalities between regions. In addition to the standard set time of a year of registration to access grants and benefits. During an appearance in Bilbao, Zabaleta defended the need for the Basque Country in social policy "balanced, for a country, not three." This turned to censor financial support for families in poverty created in Gipuzkoa, designed for households that fall outside the umbrella income income guarantee (old base rent), for which you need at least one year of registration in the Basque Country. The new provision of Guipuzcoa, in contrast, only requires six months of registration in Gipuzkoa.
Helps families in poverty who are excluded from the basic income also exist in Vizcaya and Álava, albeit with a much lower amount that now gives Gipuzkoa. Furthermore, in the case of Alava, the Provincial aid only go to small towns. Excluded from Vitoria, Llodio and Amurrio. In both territories, according to the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, the time requirement 'for registration is six months. "
is precisely the time of registration requirement of the reasons that led to the Basque Government to criticize the new aid Gipuzkoa. According to Zabaleta, "you can not understand that, once approved Income Security Act, which is the social contract we all agreed in the Basque Parliament, there is a standard that stands apart from the social pact."
The Minister recalled that the process leading to the adoption of the law was an intense debate on what should be the time of registration required for access to social benefits. "And they reached a consensus to set in twelve months, because that term was understood that the necessary to establish the roots of the people who will receive not only financial support but also employability programs and integration, "said the minister.
Since the new social aid Gipuzkoa require six months of registration in the territory, Zabaleta criticized that "six months after the social pact that all caught up in the Basque Parliament there is a new standard to be split with him." In his view, "creating rules outside the system generates poor first and second category."
For similar aid, although minor, existing in Vizcaya and Álava, the minister explained that this benefits created before the adoption of the Income Security Act, which seeks to correct "past mistakes." He recalled that the mandate of the General Meetings, which are born new Gipuzkoa aid, dating back 19 months. Zabaleta said the Income Security Act establishes a "before and after" and "puts the counter to zero" in the Basque social policies.
In any case, the adviser said that the rule is in a development process and "if six months after approval, there is a consensus to lower the registration requirements will amend the law. I pledge to search again balances for the system is equal for all Basque citizens, wherever they live. "
The amount that offers a new assistance of Gipuzkoa is one of the sources of discord. In that sense, Zabaleta said the situation will be starting in September if a person in poverty living in Ermua, where he would have a monthly grant of 162 euros, decided to register at Eibar, Gipuzkoa Provincial Council where he would offer 512 51.
The Minister said that the differences of the department with the aid of Gipuzkoa is new content, but also of shape. Not surprisingly, he learned of his creation through the official gazette of the territory and not within the interagency committee set en marcha para analizar las políticas sociales. Allí trasladará su denuncia en la próxima reunión prevista para el 7 de septiembre
