The PSOE joins Podemos and raises Social Security contributions without limit but says that "by mistake"

• Anti-crisis decree The Government agrees with Bildu to raise non-contributory pensions by 15% from July to the end of the year

The PSOE has raised Social Security contributions without limit in the law creating a pension fund without waiting to consult the measure with the social agents.

This has emerged when the socialist parliamentary group accepted an amendment by United We Can to eliminate the cap on the maximum contributions to Social Security.

According to the approved amendment, this unstopping is necessary

because in this way "the highest incomes contribute with their income."

Currently, the maximum contribution bases affect those who earn more than 45,000 euros.

This is a measure that the Minister of Inclusion,

, is considering to ensure the sustainability of the pension system, but he had promised to take it to social dialogue beforehand, which has not happened with this approval.

Socialist and government sources assure that it is "an error" and that the PSOE itself will correct it in the next process of this law in the plenary session of the Congress of Deputies.

The error is attributed to the president of the parliamentary Social Security Commission in which the law has been approved and who is none other than the Podemos deputy

.

According to the explanation of socialist sources "before starting the vote on the amendments, the Socialist Parliamentary Group has asked the lawyer for the voting script. When the voting began, the voting blocks have been formed and changed."

According to his version, "arriving in the block of the UP amendments, specifically in the vote on amendments: 57, 58, 59 and 60,

, when it that was being voted on were those block amendments".

For this reason, "the Socialist Parliamentary Group will present a separate vote so that it can be corrected in the vote that will take place in plenary session next week."

The Social Security Commission approved this Thursday the opinion of the draft Regulation Law for the Promotion of Employment Pension Plans, in what constitutes the last parliamentary procedure before being submitted to a vote and debate in the Plenary of the Lower House next week, for subsequent submission to the Senate.

The opinion went forward by 19 votes in favor, 12 against and six abstentions.

Specifically, they voted in favour, in addition to the PSOE, United We Can, the

and the

Bildu and Vox abstained, while

and Ciudadanos voted against.
