The government is determined to increase pensions, exacerbating the unsustainability of the pension system.
Pensions will rise by 2.8% in 2025, reaching a maximum pension of 3,267 euros.
This increase will impact a solidarity quota for higher-income workers to finance the retirement of the 'baby boom' generation.
In addition, the Intergenerational Equity Mechanism, an overcharge on all wages since 2023, is introduced.
These measures are considered irresponsible as they do not guarantee new income, either through immigration or the promotion of quality employment.
The pension rise is due to a reform promoted by former Minister José Luis Escrivá.
The government has chosen to postpone the general interest and face the necessary structural changes that would guarantee the future of pensions.
Conclusion: The government is favoring an unsustainable increase in pensions that increases barriers to employment and deepens intergenerational insolidarity.
