The Court of Auditors has approved the declaration of the 2024 General State Account with a favorable opinion, although it has detected irregularities such as the use of „surplus“ European funds to pay for passive class pensions and minimum supplements amounting to 2,389.4 million euros.
This money was used on the grounds that it did not compromise the fulfillment of the recovery plan or the absorption capacity of the European funds from the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism. However, the Court considers that the action was carried out based on legal grounds that should have been better justified, according to the statement released this Tuesday.
In the Court’s view, this is one of the consequences of not having a draft General State Budget for 2024, which led to budgetary modifications in order to cover an additional expenditure of 77,341.9 million euros that would have been financed mostly with public debt had it not been for the strong performance of revenues.
Likewise, the declaration emphasizes that, for the eighth consecutive year, the Social Security records a negative net worth of 106,138.7 million as of December 31, 2024, financed primarily through State loans whose accumulated amount in 2024 reached 126,170.2 million, or 7.91% of GDP. The Court of Auditors has been warning about this situation in successive declarations and has stressed the need to adopt measures to guarantee the financial sustainability of the system in the medium and long term.
On the other hand, it also highlighted the existence of „a significant structural deficit“ in the management of temporary disability due to common contingencies (sick leave for common illnesses) in the Mutual Insurance Companies Collaborating with the Social Security, which amounts to 2,677.3 million.
I hope it doesn’t escape people the irony of using next generation funds on pensions lol.
You got to keep the largest single portion happy. Fuck them workers and young families.
When I lived in Spainnit was common (and might still be common today?) that people worked as ‚freelance‘, contributing the minimum rate, saving big on social contributions them and the employers ( as a greelancer you cansdecide how much you contribute). A few years before pensioning age they started contributing maxima to the pension system – I think, for like five years (?), then they were entitled to maximim pension. A full time employee would have contributed (maybe) maxima for many years to get the same pension (or loose a job prior to pension age and get ripped).
Systematic abuse, I am not surprised that the system is skewed.
It’s 2.3 billion, not 2.3 trillions like the title says. I guess peanuts, at least some elderly served.
From a generation whose parents are pentioners: fuck you.
Thoose votes dont buy themselves.
