"We continue to improve people's lives": Sánchez boasts of government action announcing 2.2 billion more for dependency

Source Summary

2.218 million euros extra. This is the amount that the Council of Ministers plans to approve this Tuesday to strengthen the dependency system, one of the pillars of the welfare state but highly criticized for its slowness and scarcity of resources. With this increase, part of a structural reform of the system, the Spanish government intends to expand the amounts it transfers to regional governments, which should allow for the doubling of aid received by citizens with a higher level of coverage. With this extra contribution, the amount the Spanish government allocates to dependency will reach 7.200 million by the year 2027.
