"Compensation means a margin of 4,000 million that do not have"
Tomás Burgos, head of the Social Security, defends the "difficult" decision not to contain increasing pensions deficit this year
Manuel V. Gomez Madrid 2 DIC 2012 - 00:02 CET
Since the government announced on Friday that this year I updated pensions and lost 1.9 points of purchasing power, the Secretary of State for Social Security, Tomás Burgos (Valladolid, 1962), not to give explanations: radios, televisions ... What is difficult. He and the rest of the Government, Mariano Rajoy at the helm, had promised otherwise to almost a minute before. And the decision, by their own admission, is "difficult." Now they have to justify and claim understanding. The Burgos immediate boss, the Minister of Employment, Fatima Banez, spoke yesterday of the measure as "an exercise of responsibility." The Vice President, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria claimed regional cooperation to overcome the crisis. And since the opposition returned to intensify criticism. Yesterday was the turn of the PSOE deputy, Trinidad Jiménez: "It is a lie, that falls on the most vulnerable."
Meanwhile Burgos said yesterday the phone. Emphasizes again and again that the decision was made on Friday "at the last minute", hours after publication of the CPI, and not miss the opportunity to point out to the Zapatero government as responsible for much of that Security coffers Social passing through a difficult time.
Question. Why not update the pensions of 2012?
Response. The Government has attempted to quantify the last minute and cost alternatives they could handle. Knowing the November CPI and the evaluation of that cost, the Government has taken a decision immediately. The system is in deficit and is under enormous liquidity problems. We thought it was a very difficult decision, but a decision in order to protect the system.
"The priority was to go up all pensions next year"
P. Employment Minister and Vice President said there is no money to pay.
R. Inherit the deficit and Social Security, even worse, with an inertia that has committed spending bills this year. The system has faced funding non-contributory elements, there has been a pension under-budgeting in recent years, depending incidentals, etc.. This has made Social Security has been seen in a very difficult situation. It is essential for the future to be achieved a balanced budget. And rushing all possibilities, the Government has taken a decision to value: in 2012 and in 2013 all pensions rise. Unlike other governments, all pensions will rise, no freezes.
P. You've said many times before Friday to apply the existing standard. When did you know he was going to suspend?
R. We have always worked on the basis of meeting the statutory, and valued resources we evaluated all the alternatives. But, knowing the CPI data and financial condition of the system, this was the most responsible decision. We are aware of the effort asked citizens.
P. The data yesterday surprisingly low, do not expect anything like that?
"The move on Friday is strictly temporary"
R. Well, a 2.9% CPI and therefore a deviation of 1.9 must assess it in the context it occurs. A revaluation of pensions in a recession is a huge effort, and it is therefore important to the effort in 2012 and 2013 rising pensions. But compensation means having a margin that we have no means a cost of close to 4,000 million which the system does not have.
P. But it was seeing inflation in September and October. Is it to do with the timing of the election timetable?
R. We have not called elections in Catalonia.
P. Yes in Galicia.
R. Lets see. The November CPI is a key factor and this is the time to make the decision. Any other consideration is outside the Social Security system. What we did not know was the financial situation, data collection, data delinquency ... With these data and knowing that at year end had to face an expense exceeding 15,000 million (December pay and extraordinary), this was the most reasonable decision.
P. Upload pensions? 1% or 2% is a less harmful?
R. Upload all pensions also has to do with our system to be taxable. Citizens who have made significant contributions can not be excluded from an increase in their pensions. And we are committed to pensions minor, hence a further increase of 1% for which are not minimal, are low, less than 1,000 euros a month.
P. Have they changed the law of the Reserve Fund until 2014? Will deficit until then?
R. We have organized a preventive reform. Until now the norm prevented access to the fund prior to the occurrence of the problems. We will not go through a situation that could be committed to pay pensions. For us timely payment is an essential objective. Faced with liquidity problems need a safety cushion.
P. Ruled in 2013? Making a decision like yesterday or a more difficult?
R. Spain is committed to the deficit to 31 December 2012. Spain and Social Security is doing much to meet the deficit.
P. And in 2013?
R. The move on Friday is strictly temporary. It is a suspension. No model has been repealed. And it has become a justification and that this country is experiencing. There is no provision, if he'd taken, to modify or renew this decision next year.
