This measure, announced in March by the then First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, aims to increase financial benefits for those affected, including temporary disability processes and permanent disability, widowhood, and orphanhood pensions. The regulation stipulates that these aids will not be included in the personal income tax (IRPF) or corporate tax base, and also exempts certain aids for personal damages from forest fires and aid provided by non-profit entities to those affected by the DANA.
The classification of the Adamuz and Gelida incidents as work accidents will facilitate the recognition of financial benefits. The Minister of Finance highlighted at the time that this measure was a matter of "justice" and would lead to "higher benefits" for the injured and their families, aligning it with measures applied after the DANA catastrophe.
The approval of the decree-law passed without any votes against, although Vox deputies chose to abstain. The legislative text also addresses tax exemptions for various aids related to the DANA and other disasters, as well as for victims of sexual abuse within the Church.
The determination of the number of beneficiaries and the necessary budgetary amount to cover these compensations remains pending. The measure seeks to provide greater financial support to the victims of these tragic events.
