This is the question that a Twitter user formulated for Pablo Iglesias and that the youtuber 'FortFast WTF' sent him to the leader of Unidas Podemos. The recording of the meeting between the two has been among the most viewed videos on the platform in Spain since its publication. «One thing that we carried out in the agreement with the PSOE, and that later was not translated into nothing when the Budgets were not approved, is to recover aid for the unemployed over 50 years old. That is fundamental," Iglesias responded to this issue. However, that proposal is already in force. Pablo Iglesias was referring to subsidy for unemployed people over 52 years of age ―and not 50 as he said―, approved by the acting Government in March 2019. It did so as a "urgent measure" in a royal decree law that the Council of Ministers issued forward in the so-called "social Fridays". The approved aid contemplates exactly the same assumptions as in October 2018 PSOE and Unidas Podemos had agreed for the 2019 PGE. Congress of the Deputies knocked them down by not having the necessary support, and just as explains Iglesias, at that time the measure could not be implemented. Which What the Podemos leader does not say is that, since March 2019, the Spaniards who Those who find themselves in this situation can benefit from this subsidy. The following image shows the changes that UP and PSOE agreed to modify the regulation of aid for people over 52 years of age for the Budgets.

Both include the same points. ![\\"\\"](\\"\\")Fragment of Royal Decree-Law 8/2019, of March 8, urgent measures for social protection and the fight against job insecurity during the work day. Chapter II. The Sánchez Government once again set the age of access to the subsidy at 52 years ―the PP changed it to 55―; The calculation of income was established on the basis of the beneficiary person and not the family unit; the obligation to having to access early retirement when the aid is received and established 125% of the minimum interprofessional wage (SMI) the minimum base of Social Security contributions while you are a beneficiary of the subsidy. In addition to the recovery of aid for the elderly unemployed, the royal decree law "on urgent measures for social protection and the fight against "job insecurity during the working day" included other measures such as the mandatory registration of working hours or the increase in benefits against child poverty. ![\\"Ayuso](\\"\\") What do we know about the reception center for immigrant minors in Fuenlabrada that confronts the city council and the community Therefore, although the Congress of Deputies overturned the agreement that forward United We Can with the PSOE, as Iglesias recalls, the measure does It went ahead, since it was approved alone by the Government subsequently.
