The deputies of the Budget and Finance Commission approved this Wednesday in detail the Government’s proposal with measures to alleviate the impact of the price increase on families, as all the amendments proposed by the opposition have failed.
Under discussion is the Government’s proposal to establish a transitory pension update regime in 2023, with increases between 4.43% and 3.53% depending on the amount earned by pensioners, after the Executive already approved by decree-law the payment of an extraordinary complement, already in October, equivalent to half pension.
This package also contains the “Brake” to rents that in 2023 will have a rise limited to 2%with the measure that covers all tenants with contracts signed until December 2022 and a reduction in VAT from 13% to 6% for consumption of up to 100 kWh of electricity per month.
Of the long list of proposals to modify this proposal presented by the different parties, only those of the PS were made viable, among which is included, in particular, the inembargability of exceptional aid to families.
