I discussion now Revision of the Toledo Pact make a number of considerations that are relevant because the PP is still in its heels as in the past six years. They know very well and I'm going to remember that since 1995, the Government was headed by Felipe Gonzalez, Spain gave birth to the so-called Toledo Pact "was subsequently instituted in the Congress of Deputies Commission Monitoring of the Toledo Pact.
For this committee have passed since then many public and private, social, economic, and representing the Government of Spain, and other state institutions
and the European Union. On this occasion, for the first time at the request of the Congress itself on a Proposed Resolution adopted at the Debate on the State of the Nation of May 2009, urged the Government to accelerate the diagnosis of the pension system and promote a new agreement. At the moment, this discussion document submitted by the Government in January this year and will lead to proposals for the reform guidelines called Toledo Pact that the Government itself must raise to Parliament for approval. Therefore we are currently discussing proposals closed but proposals for discussion, not only of what was said by the Government but also by other social and economic.
Commission Toledo Pact is working in Congress as more interested at all and the future of this country, and we do hope to reach a consensus on recommendations, considering the consolidation of our system of welfare state that we all concerned.
Mariano Rajoy Zapatero has asked the President about their rationale for breaking the Pact of Toledo.
The President responded that the Government and the Socialist parliamentary group were the founders of the Covenant, has also always been respected, and that the Government for exceptional reasons for the severe economic crisis, and in a very specific point has been forced to make a decision not to include the revaluation of pensions next excluding year minimum pensions. We're talking about 35% of pensioners, about 3.4 million people, these will not be affected by the freeze.
Since 2004 the average pension has grown by 16%, 2.5% on average annually, after inflation, whereas the PP governments increased only 1.9%.
And speaking of minimum pensions, which are those that need more solidarity, where there is greatest need, the data are overwhelming: from 2004 to here, the increase was from 27% in purchasing power of minimum pensions,
In 8 years of governments of the PP, was 3.6, the difference is remarkable, and retired as know. You are not alone.
