As the crisis continues, more and more unemployed people who exhaust their unemployment benefits or assistance, there are currently 1,800,000 people in this situation, according to UGT-and dangerously approaching the abyss of social exclusion.
Aware of this situation, the previous Socialist government approved in February 2011 Professional Retraining Program (Prepares Plan), following the Program Temporary Unemployment Protection and Integration (Prodi), August 2009. Its official name says much less than 400 euros, in practice, make the last barrier against poverty for those who have exhausted all other resources.
In exchange for receiving 400 euros for a period of six months, prepare beneficiaries are committed to their respective regional employment service to participate in a customized itinerary of vocational rehabilitation and other possible actions of active job search. In case of breach of the commitment, support ceases immediately.
However, not all unemployed people who exhaust their unemployment benefit or automatically access the current Prepare. The plan required to be registered as job seekers, have exhausted their benefit or subsidy from 16 February to 15 August 2012 and have not, by any other means, monthly income higher than 75% of minimum wage (641 euros). Moreover, aid is incompatible with previously have enjoyed similar benefits as the old PRODI or Insertion Income.
According to the Ministry of Employment, these conditions greatly restrict the number of applicants from 400 euros, the sources insist, "not an additional unemployment benefit", but an aid linked to meeting specific requirements.
The intensification of the crisis led to earlier socialist labor minister, Valeriano Gomez, in August 2011 to extend the term of the Plan for a period of six months. On February 15, 2012, the Government of Rajoy again extend his term until 15 August. Now, a few days before it expires, the Executive has not yet confirmed whether there will be a further extension.
In recent weeks, the PSOE and the UGT and CCOO have exerted strong pressure on the Government does not leave many families without "the last hope of salvation." After several days of silence, PP, through its parliamentary spokesman, Alfonso Alonso has hinted today that the government could continue to prepare, but reforming it to comply with "the fundamental objective to regain employment."

The reluctance of the popular focus on the Plan in its lack of effectiveness, as they believe it has ended up becoming more of a subsidy available to the unemployed, rather than encourage the search for employment. "This program had a capacity of 20% rehabilitation and is now at 6%," he argued Alonso. The unions contend that, in the current economic climate, "the placement rate is very low in all public employment services," so that you can not penalize Prepares for not reaching significant numbers of re-employment.
The sources consulted by the Ministry of Employment explained that the decision on the extension does not respond to a budgetary problem, because the resources allocated to Prepare is not exhausted. In 2011, UGT, the Plan at a cost to state coffers 510 million euros.
Also difficult to know exactly how many people are currently enjoying the 400 euros. The Ministry argues that we must wait the end of the program to know the total number of beneficiaries. However, Fernando Lezcano, communications secretary of CCOO, estimated at 112,000 people calling for help each month. Manuel Bonmati responsible for UGT said on Wednesday that withdrawing the program would affect 600,000 people in the period between August and December 2012.
However, the Ministry makes clear that any termination of the program will only hurt those who are left without benefit or subsidy from 15 August, and that applicants for assistance to date could collect it for six months. Similarly, unemployed currently receive 400 euros would perceive them to the end of the period that has been recognized.
