Neither in the labor market nor in pensions nor on the tax system.

None of the three major economic reforms that the Government must tackle more urgently

will not enter into force before 202

2. In the best of cases, some points of these actions will be advanced, but far from it, the mollar part.

The so-called Recovery Plan files that the Government has published today demonstrate this. They were documents that the Executive had kept secret until now, but today, the

day after the elections were held in the Madrid Community with the overwhelming victory of Isabel Díaz Ayuso

, Moncloa has published the 30 components of the Plan.

In the fiscal area, as the minister, María Jesús Montero, has already pointed out on numerous occasions, the tax reform will not be carried out until the committee of experts issues its recommendations. And

that won't be before February 2022

. It is true that some actions have already been carried out and others are underway, but the Government's objective is to "reduce the differential with the weighted average of the Eurozone countries", which according to its estimates amounts to 7.3 points. And that requires much more.

Measures to ensure the viability of pensions will not arrive this year either. If you want to have the new system ready by the end of 2021 to calculate the revaluation of benefits, but it would be applied already in 2022. And the transfer of improper expenses, which is no other case than transferring some disbursements to the General State Budgets that Social Security considers that they should not be paid with contributions, will

be completed in 2023

. This measure has caused much controversy, because many experts understand that the problem is only transferred from one place to another and that, furthermore, it is questionable that they do not correspond to the system. According to the Government's estimate, there will be almost

14,000 million that will have to be paid with taxes

.

And in the labor sphere, ambitious objectives are proposed to urgently reform the market structure, although the conditions specified suggest that these reforms

may not be effective until next year

. Thus, the basic requirement set by the Government is that they move forward with the support of social dialogue. In this way, he argues, they will be more durable regulatory frameworks.

Among the measures included are, in fifth and sixth place, the reform of the current balance between sectoral and business agreements and, on the other hand,

the repeal of article 42 of the Workers' Statute

, which refers to the working conditions of employees in subcontractors. These are two of the points that the unions have demanded to suppress for two years and that now enter the official list of reforms. On the other hand, business associations have indicated that these issues are not a priority in the negotiations and that other issues must be addressed first.

As the maximum deadline set by the Plan for the reforms to be approved is December 31, there is no formal obligation to do so before.

The Government has also indicated that all these reforms, which include simplifying the types of hiring or converting the ERTE into a structural mechanism financed with contributions, will be approved "in a single legislative package," which is what the employers demanded, as part of the a new Statute of Workers of the XXI century.

In this way, although Vice President Calviño has stressed that the entry into force of the reforms is one of the most urgent issues in the face of the economic recovery that is expected for autumn,

the truth is that they probably will not come into force until the year that is coming

.
