System simplification
About this last group that the government promised Brussels To behave. The philosophy of the reform is to simplify the number of existing subsidies, reduce their number and facilitate their access to people who meet legally established requirements.

Unemployment benefit system reform has been a pending issue since the time of the PP. Fatima Bañez As Minister of Labor More recently, in the previous legislative session, the Government of Pedro Sánchez had promised Brussels to reform this issue. But after more than a year of internal work, the coalition was unable to finally reach an agreement, the reform did not succeed, and the electoral advance left everything fallow.
Now, in order to receive the fourth payment of European funds, the Government plans to accelerate this reform and carry it out as soon as possible. This haste has also led to criticism from unions, who, in their joint statement published this week, criticized that such a major reform, which could affect almost 900 thousand people, did not go through social dialogue. According to sources from the Generalitat, these concerns were not received positively among the regional governments, which have authority over active employment policies and with whom no dialogue had been established before.
