The president of Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas, has stuck her finger into one of the sores of the Government Budget project.

The linear increase of 8.5% in pensions, regardless of whether they are low or maximum, and the expected increase of up to 9.5% in the salary of civil servants in three years.

has accused the President of the Government of "increasing the gap between generations and between those who work with a State mummy and the rest".

Arrimadas was thus referring to the 20,000 million that the Executive will allocate to indiscriminately increase pensions and raise the salary of public employees, leaving young people aside.

Thus, she has shown that the large social spending announced by the Executive is actually destined for the most part to pay pensions.

"The average pension in Spain", he maintained, "has risen 40% and, however, the salary of young people has not risen even 6%".

In his opinion, the right thing to do to put an end to this discrimination is to "link the revaluation of pensions to the increase in the salary of young people."

Or put another way: match both increments.

has always been opposed to simply linking pensions to the rise in inflation.

And now, with the Budget project on the table, he is focusing on the generational gap that it causes and on the, in his opinion, exorbitant increase in pension spending.

An expense that, in addition, is consolidated and therefore grows exponentially.

That is why Arrimadas has come to accuse Sánchez of having embarked on a path that "will burst the pension system" and will end up making it unaffordable.

The leader of Cs insists that with these Budgets, Sánchez intends to "buy votes".

"He has no right", she has snapped at the president, "to mortgage future generations to pay for his electoral campaign".

Pedro Sánchez has chosen to deny the largest, insisting that his Government defends "the sustainability of the system" and has taken the opportunity to recall that on this occasion, for the first time in thirteen years, a contribution of more than 2,000 million will be made to the reserve fund which guarantees pensions.

In addition, he has rejected the accusation of forgetting the youngest, emphasizing that the Government defends them with increases in the budget for scholarships, the

, educational spending and the youth rental bonus.
