• Congress The Government saves the decree of war measures by only four votes and thanks to EH Bildu

The Second Vice President and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, has proposed that the extension of the decree law to curb the impact of the war in Ukraine on prices include new measures such as a 50% reduction in the transport pass or a check for 300 euros for vulnerable families.

The vice president has published on her

Twitter account

that the aforementioned decree, in force from April 1 to June 30, must be renewed for the next three months with a reinforcement of the protection of citizens and with measures that enhance the energy transition.

Likewise, it has proposed to establish a mechanism that allows the bonus to be adjusted to the price of gasoline and non-professional diesel according to the income level of the beneficiaries.

Also that the large energy companies make "an extra contribution", with a surcharge of 10 points the type of companies that would allow them to raise between 1,500 and 2,000 million.

Last March, Podemos already proposed an "energy emergency plan", which included a check or energy bonus of 300 euros for 19 million families in

Spain

, which would have an estimated cost of 5,700 million euros.

This proposal was inspired by a measure that has already been implemented in

France

(100 euros for those who earn less than 2,000 euros per month).

Previously, in January, the formation already demanded a surcharge of 10 points in the corporate tax rate for electricity companies that invoice more than 10,000 million euros within a non-law proposal in which the Government was urged to make a Tax Reform.
